Hi,  My Name is Scott Eriksson and I am a career software developer, business owner, and consultant.  

The 10 hrs/day I spend at my computer qualify me as a NERD!

I've been this way for over 25 years and I love it.  But I have paid the price: Hip surgery in college, back surgery at age 36, weight issues, weak core, bad posture etc.  By the time I reached my mid 30s I couldn't even play one game of basketball due to the pain in my knees, my hip and my back.  

Although, I was a member of the high IQ society, MENSA,, I clearly wasn't being very intelligent about my own health and fitness. I was over complicating it.

Luckily, in my late 40s, common sense showed me an easier, more effective, approach. One that also came with awesome side benefits for my business, and my personal productivity.

Now, I am 56 years old and I play in a weekly basketball league, I compete in Masters Track And Field, won 5 National Championships, and even hold the American Record for my age group in the discus and the shot put.  And yet, I am still a NERD working 10-12 hour days at my computer.  

I am still busier than ever with work, family, coaching youth sports and I rarely have time to get to the gym for even a one hour workout. But that's ok. I found a better way!  And so can you. Right here in the pages of the NERDbody Blog.

The turning point for me was changing how I thought about health and exercise. I knew somehow, getting fit could be fun, easy and it could integrate into my busy day at work, at home, or even on the road.   (And, you can still go to the GYM when you want to, but not because you think you need to.) 

And we did it!   After consulting with certified fitness trainers, strength coaches, and even professional athletes turned high performance instructors we came the ultimate no-sweat fitness program for nerds like me, and anyone else who spends too much of their day sitting or standing still.

Developed by Trainers - Tested by NERDS

Let's get started with the NERDbody FOUR CORNERSTONES of getting fit, though we sit.

1. MOBILITY  -- Increase your range of motion in your back, your hips, shoulders, neck.
2. POSTURE  -- Re-engage your muscles critical to healthy alignment from head to tow
3. METABOLISM -- Maintain your get up and go meatabolism and avoiding the "crash". Especially after lunch.
4. STRENGTH  -- Strength your muscles, especially those that are weakened during our sedentary jobs

You know what really gets me all pumped up?   You can achieve big improvements in all 4 of these areas  just by taking short NERDbody breaks of 1 to 2 minutes through out the day without even breaking a sweat.

You can improve your balance,
You can improve your body composition (more muscle, less fat)
You can improve your overall fitness level and athleticism

and here is the kicker...

You can even become more focused and productive.... Read more one the following posts....
