KEEPING ACTIVE AT THE OFFICE Many people find their work day consumes most of their waking hours. If you work in an office, here are some strategies to incorporate more movement into your day: Take breaks by moving to a different room. Try stretching rather than staying seated. Aim to stand up and walk around at least once per hour. For extended calls or when you need an energy boost, keep small hand weights or a resistance band at your desk for exercises. Consider walking or moving during informal discussions and brainstorming sessions. Explore different options, such as alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day and taking frequent walking and stretching breaks. Here are tips to make it easier to integrate more standing and movement into your workday: Wear comfortable shoes and flexible clothing, or keep sneakers at your desk. Use a cushioned floor mat and other supports to reduce foot and leg fatigue when standing. Schedule physical activity on your work calendar as a priority appointment.
