I have a desk job. A lot of people I know have a desk job. So how can one possibly stay fit when they sit in the same spot for 8 hours, Monday through Friday? Good question.
1. Get up from your desk at least every hour to stretch, walk around the office, run up and down the stairs.
2. Instead of picking up the phone to call an associate, walk over to their office and chat!
3. Keep a water bottle with you throughout the day. Staying hydrated is great, but getting up to refill your water bottle gets you moving.
4. At lunch, take a nice walk. Bring your gym shoes and slide them under your desk, so you can easily slip them on and go.
5. Make it a priority in the morning to get up early and take a nice 30 minute brisk walk before you head into work.
6. Take a nice walk after work to relieve some stress, but to also get that butt moving!
7. Eat well balanced meals...ideally a nice breakfast, mid-morning snack, a healthy lunch, a mid-afternoon snack...and then a nice light dinner.
8. This may be a little interesting, but keep little dumb bells under your desk at work. If you are on a phone call, pick one of them up and do a few sets of arm lifts.
9. Make sure you are stretching out those arms, legs, back and hands. Being immobile for awhile can cause tense muscles, so give them some circulation.
