Outstanding

Could be another great trade but it’s not, its about your health.

Last year I suffered with my back. It was due to my posture, sitting down for very long periods of time. As a result I changed my lifestyle and also signed up to a posh gym with my own trainer. That has done wonders for my general well being and my back problems are a thing of the past.

Recently I started to notice was that my calf muscles are a bit ‘tight’. It appears that once again my posture is to blame. Because I used to do a lot of sport my legs muscles are very toned, just not that flexable. It seems that when I sit down now, my legs don’t carry enough weight and are too relaxed.

However the short term solution is quite simple. Stand more, but also put some support for your feet under the desk. This allows you to tense your lower leg muscles which will avoid calf problems. I have also made my PC headset wireless , which gives me the freedom to move around. On top of that I have a seperate area where I have set up a trading PC in a standing only position. So, as well as looking after your back, make sure you look after your legs as well!

I think all these problems show that I spend far too much time behind my desk. While the money is great I’m starting to think I need some broader changes in my life and a bit more balance. Rather than be a slave to the markets maybe I just need to stop pushing so hard and set off some new projects that don’t require me to sit behind the desk.

After all, never forget that good health is like money, difficult to get and easy to lose!
