The Waistband Challenger

Fiona had two minutes before her next virtual call—just enough time for a quick snack. She reached for the crisps in her not-so-secret drawer, telling herself it was the only way to power through another round of meetings.

Her Chair? Oh, it was ecstatic. Fiona hadn’t moved in hours, and the Chair couldn’t have been

happier with her constant company. It was practically twirling.

But while her Chair revelled in the extended togetherness, Fiona’s body was starting to revolt.

Sitting for hours wasn’t just making her feel sluggish—it was adding inches to her waistline.

Every time she reached for another snack, her body was storing more sugar and fat than it should.

Fiona could feel the weight creeping on, and all that sugar? Not going anywhere. And neither was Fiona

Just as she was reaching for a biscuit, an alert flashed on her screen: Take a five-minute active break. Skeptical, but curious, she had two minutes to spare, so she got up, stretched, and took a quick walk around her desk. She felt a shift—it was nice to stand tall and give her body a shake to get the blood moving.

Turns out, sitting all day isn’t just hard on your back, it’s slows down your metabolism too. That five-minute break from sitting? A game-changer, waking up her body and sending those snack cravings packing.
