Geeky Workout

Since both Ginny and I are trying to get to the health club more often now … we were thinking about how being a computer geek could be leveraged into a more healthy lifestyle.

Here’s a short list of geeky actions that could be transformed into something healthy …

• Hard Drive Hand Weights – tape 2 or 3 drives together for increased weight.
• Ceiling tile step workout – step up, pull the wire, step down crimp the connector, step up, pull the wire, step down crimp the connector.
• UPS battery bench press.
• PICNIC (Problem In Chair, Not in Computer) Push Away – push away from desk every time there us a stupid user question.
• Screw Search Squats – trying to find that little screw that you just dropped.
• Cable Yoga – all those weird positions you have to get into to run cables to & from systems.
• Top Rack Stretches – stretch to connect something to the 1u server at the very top if the rack.
• Carton Crunches – lifting all those boxes of laser printer paper.
• Parts Run – running out to the computer store to buy the part you forgot.
• Server relay – running between all the various servers to answer messages.
• Computer Crash Cool Down – assume the fetal position and rock back and forth after all the systems have crashed.

Any other ideas?
