		saryant on Jan 30, 2012 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: How going to the gym makes you stronger One of the best things I ever did was get a door frame pull-up bar and stick it right next to my desk. Whenever I'm stuck on a problem I hop up and do a few sets of pull-ups. Clears my mind and helps me focus. For $25 it's a no-brainer investment.

Great tip. I have something similar, I have a kettlebell right next to my desk (standup, so don't even have to get up to get it) and a set of rings hanging from the ceiling. My office looks a bit weird, but it gives me a great break.

I have a boxing bag next to mine, helps enormously with frustration.
