Moving more at work is easier said than done, especially if your job requires a lot of sitting. But physical activity can be added into the average workday in ways you may not realize.
Take a Stand
Set an alarm on your phone or computer for every 30 minutes. When it rings, do a two-minute exercise challenge.
2 Minute Challenge Ideas
Exercise can be done almost anywhere at any time at work. Here are some tips to get you off on the right track:
- Walk in place with high knees
- Perform arm circles forward for one minute, then backwards for another minute
- Squats or walking lunges
- Desk pushups
To gain support, challenge a coworker to perform these exercises together.
Quick Tip: Try changing out your chair. Use a stability ball instead of a chair to challenge your core and improve your posture.
