At Your Desk Fitness
- were in a technological age and many jobs require a lot of desk time
- start with a good chair for posture support
- stand up every 30 minutes, stretch a little, walk in place a few steps - this can even be done while youre still working
- roll your wrists and stretch your arms regularly during the day
- waiting for something to download or upload or rebooting the computer? Take this time to walk around a bit, stretch, depending on what setting youre in you could even do some tummy crunches or push ups
- get a balance ball to replace your chair, or you can even purchase chairs that have the ball built in as the seat. This keeps you in a constant state of motion and is actually better for your spine.
- set your chair back to be at an angle wider than 90 degrees
- dont sit still, keep moving your legs, your arms, your hands, constant movement will burn calories
- on a business call? Walk around the office
- at your desk fitness does not replace a regular exercise routine, youll still want to get out and get moving for at least 30 minutes a day! What it will do is help you maintain your energy and keep you feeling good
