Stay Fit at Work

We all know that sitting all day at work can be detrimental to our health and is something we should try to avoid if we can. While this can be difficult for those of us that are tied to our desks at work, there are ways to get around it and get in more movement while at work. 

• Stand up for 2-3 minutes every hour
• This helps work your muscles and get your metabolic processes working
• Sit on a stability ball
• Try this for 20-30 minutes to work your core
• Hold walking meetings
• Take a walk to improve your mood, blood flow and concentration
• Take business breaks
• Take 10 minutes and do as many squats, push ups and crunches as you can
• Leave your desk for lunch
• Take a walk and get some fresh air to increase your productivity later in the day
• Reconsider your commute
• If you can, take your bike or walk to work to start your day off on an active note which will help your productivity and mood throughout the day. 
• Practice office yoga
• Breathe deeply and stretch slowly for 5-10 minutes throughout the day to ease your stress of work.
