How to Stay Fit at the Office

Sitting at a desk behind a computer for eight or more hours a day can be hard on your body. Learn how to stay active and keep fit while maintaining your office job by following our tips below:

  1. Take a walk
    • Use your lunch break or coffee break to go for a stroll around the block. The fresh air and exercise will do your body good.
  2. Use the stairs
    • So what if your office is on the 10th floor? Taking the stairs instead of using the elevator can help you burn extra calories every day.
  3. Sit on an exercise ball
    • Sitting on an exercise ball will engage your core muscles and also help to straighten your posture.
  4. Stretch regularly
    • Set an alarm as a reminder to stretch at regular intervals throughout the day. Stretching is a great way to loosen your muscles and help with blood flow.
  5. Sit up straight
    • Maintaining good posture is an easy way to relieve back pain and keep your core muscles engaged throughout the day.
