    Being sedentary is a problem. It's good to take breaks, move around, do some things away from the computer often. Even if it's 10 minutes to walk around and stretch. And do some light exercise at a minimum. Even basic walking and stretching your arms/hands will help.

    I completely agree. A few months ago, I started walking for whatever time I had left in my lunch hour after eating. Since I have almost an hour and a half drive each way, I realized I was doing a lot of sitting (especially if I spent the rest of my lunch at my computer). I found the walking has helped with stress and gives me a boost for the afternoon. Also, one of the printers I use is on the other side of the building. My coworkers think it would be inconvenient, but whenever I print something, I get a little mini break away from my work area - helps to relieve any monotony as well.
