We're sending you this daily dose of workplace fitness because we feel your pain. Literally. Get up from the desk and take a little walk. Stretch those muscles. You can thank us in April. Each weekday until April 18 (now that busy season has been extended, thank you Uncle Sam), we're dropping a mini-exercise in your mailbox, in the late afternoon, just when you're trying to find that second wind to get you through the long hours into the darkness. Let us know your favorite tips for making it through the Spring workload and we’ll share them with the rest of the community of busy accountants keeping the flames burning.
