How to fix programmer posture
10 years slumped in a chair for most of your day means you'll have an extraordinarily weak back.
Hence the posture issue that allows one to instantly spot the programmers from the account managers at Drupal conferences.
Deadlift, Squat, Barbell row, and stretch your hamstrings.

Anyoone for a dodgeball game at Drupalcon Copenhagen?
Anyone for a small, fun, and informal dodgeball tournament at Drupalcon Copenhagen? Would be a fun way to hang out with fellow fit (or not so fit) drupal peeps.
I will make sure we have a court to play in and a ball if anyone is interested.
If you have not heard of Drupalcon CPH go check out http://cph2010.drupal.org now :)

Drupal based fitness
Just found this group and love the concept.
Workplace wellness is gaining ground. I've been involved with it for years and I can say with certainty attitudes are changing quickly.
I've recently built a drupal based workplace wellness application. Kung fu, qigong, yoga based office safe exercises delivered to your desktop at intervals.

would love to get input from other drupalers. Any drupaler who wants a premium version just contact me for the reg code. Would love to have you guys work out with me.

Who are you, Drupal skydivers?
I hear there has been some discussion about organizing some skydives at DrupalCons and other DrupalCamps. I'm all for that, being a skydiver myself! I thought we could start the discussion out by finding out who out there in the Drupal world skydives already, where you're from, and what your favorite discipline of skydiving is.
I'll start!
I'm Linda (Skygal) from Madison, WI. I mainly do CReW, but also belly flying.
Who else?

Morning exercise at DrupalCon Copenhagen
I am already in CopenHagen and plan on staying about 10 days. Since I am already on a training program for the Shanghai marathon (http://www.shmarathon.com/marathon_home_en.asp), I will be running almost every day. I usually train 8 to 15 km, depending on the day. I also intend to find a gym today I can register to for the next 10 days.
Is anybody interested in exercising with me; you don't need to do for the full run. Let me know, I will try to organize some tracks.

Read moreCycling?
There are a bunch of cyclists in the Drupal community. What sort of cycling do you do and where do you ride? Are there enough of us that we could get some Drupal jerseys made?
I'm a roadie in Seattle. I mainly ride for exercise and charity rides (haven't raced yet). I'm planning on doing the Seattle to Portland Bicycle Classic next year. Anyone in the area up for training rides?
