Work from Home Success Program – food & exercise
Work from Home Success Program Module 1 Part 6 Food and Exercise
It’s a common fear that you’ll put on weight when you start working from home, but with a little planning you can actually eat better and get fitter.

It’s a boring fact that planning ahead helps you eat more healthily, so get some recipe ideas online or from your favourite cookery books – Nigel Slater’s Real Fast Food
Sitting down all day may be shortening your lifespan, so varying things with some time standing is a good idea. People apparently lose a few pounds just doing this, so definitely worth considering.
