Q: There are a variety of side effects associated with sitting too long anything from weight gain and back problems to loss of muscle mass and softening of your bones. To prevent these health conditions, move around every hour. Don't let yourself get caught too long at your desk without moving. Set a timer on your phone or computer to help remind you to move. Drink lots and lots of water. The more water you drink, the more often you'll be up using the restroom. Give yourself a goal to get up and move at least five to eight times a day and keep track of your progress each week. Pedometers and fitness bands are a popular ways to monitor how much you step and move throughout the day. Aiming for at least 10,000 steps or about five miles a day may help you lose or maintain your weight and help keep you in shape. Find ways to walk more throughout your day. For example, take the stairs instead of the elevator, park farther away, get up to deliver a message instead of emailing it or walk to a bathroom further away from your desk. Download a free app on your phone, purchase an affordable pedometer or spring for a fitness watch or band for a fun way to track your daily steps. 10,000 steps should be your ultimate goal each day. If you're not there yet, creep up on the ultimate goal by setting mini-goals over time. For example, increase your steps by 200, 500, or 1,000 each day until you have met and surpassed the ultimate goal on an ongoing basis. You don't need a gym or running shoes to put a little exercise in your day. Try chair exercises and other small exercises you can do comfortably at your desk. Spend 10 15 minutes on your lunch break doing doing these activities to help break the routine of sitting and limit the unhealthy effects of sitting so long. There are many sites online that offer ideas for exercising in your chair. Review your schedule the day before and see if you can fit in just a few minutes of exercise 10 minutes before a meeting or a 20 minutes during some down time. Schedule it so you remember! De-stress after a long meeting with a quick yoga routine. It requires little to no equipment and you won't need to worry about getting too sweaty. Try standing as you type or send emails. Standing is better for your posture and helps engage more muscle groups than sitting. Take a few minutes daily to increase your heart rate and raise your breathing to a faster pace. Quick cardio moves can help burn calories through your day. In addition, these little sessions can help bring you out of an afternoon slump! Try taking a walking meeting with a co-worker instead of talking at a desk. Take walks at lunchtime or before or after work. Get out and walk around the building, or the block. Get some natural sunlight if weather permits. If the weather is crummy, visit the nearest stairwell for a workout. Run in place at your desk or do a few knee raises or jumping jacks to get your heart rate up. If you don't have time for a gym trip, add some simple weight lifting exercises to your week. Just two to three days a week is a good goal. Strength training helps build muscle, burn calories and keeps you fit! Consider buying a small set of weights for bicep curls, lateral raises or shoulder presses. Or find office furniture to help do some isometric activities like wall push-ups, tricep dips from a stable chair or sitting leg raises. Change out your desk chair for a fitness stability ball to help strengthen core muscles. If you want to, exercise while waiting for things on the computer to load. Do a couple of squats, bicep curls, or stretches. This is a great option for more activity at work. You can either walk or stand as you do work! Set a goal for yourself each day. For example, walk 2,000 steps every hour or stand for one hour before sitting for 30 mins. Ask your office manager or HR department if they'd split the cost with you since these desks can be a little expensive.
A: Move every 60 90 minutes. Count your steps. Take an exercise break. Add light cardio to your day. Perform strength training exercises. Use loading time to keep fit. Purchase a treadmill or standing desk.

Q: Look at bridal or wedding-related magazines to get a sense of what you want to wear. These magazines are great for inspiration and for narrowing down your choices if you are feeling overwhelmed! You can even start a physical scrapbook or Pinterest board of designs and styles that you like. Even if it looks great on you, make sure you go to at least a few different shops and try on multiple things. You want to be assured that you made the right choice. To remember all your different options, take pictures of your favorite dresses so you can compare. Get the business card of all the shops that you visited and write notes on the back so you can remember where you saw each dress. Sometimes, it's hard to know what design looks best on your body type. It's easy to fall in love with a dress or suit and not be able to see that it might not be the best option for you personally. This is why getting the opinion of someone else is invaluable in picking the perfect outfit. That thing was expensive! You want to make sure it looks pristine on your wedding day, so storing it in a garment bag is vital to making sure it looks the same way on your wedding day as it did the day you bought it. You can buy zipped garment bags at Sears of Walmart. Buy your shoes after you buy your dress or suit so you can match them. While you want to buy great-looking shoes, you also should make sure that they don't hurt your feet! Remember that you will be wearing these shoes all day for your wedding. They should be fashionable but also comfortable. When you find a pair of shoes you like, take a stroll in them. Walk around the store for five minutes and see how they feel. If after five minutes they feel like torture, they aren't the pair for you. Match your shoes to your dress or suit by making sure they are the same shade. If they aren't the same color, make sure that something about them, whether it be an accent or an embellishment, matches your dress or suit. Try to pick shoes made of soft leather. Soft leather is more comfortable and are less likely to cause blisters. Most brides, and some grooms, choose to accessorize their wedding outfits. A stunning necklace, pair of earrings, or watch can be a great way of making the outfit seem complete. For women, a wedding veil is also a traditional accessory they may choose to wear at their wedding. The key to buying the perfect accessory is to find one that matches your outfit but is special and unique on its own. Choose an accessory that is made of high-quality materials. You want your accessory to not only match your dress or suit in color, but also in the quality of the material. Wearing a cheap-looking accessory will seem out of place paired with your dress or suit. Don't overdo it. Choose one or two accessories. Less can be more when it comes to accessories because too many can look overdone.
A:
Do your research. Don't pick the first dress or suit you see. Get the input of your family or friends. Store your dress or suit in a zipped garment bag after you purchase it. Buy shoes. Buy accessories.
