We'resitting too much and it's dangerous. Most Americans spend more than seven hourssitting every day, and the more you sit, the weaker your body will be.Fortunately, there are simple changes you can make during the day—anywhere, even at the workplace—to improve your health.
Park a fewblocks away from the office each morning and walk to work.
Thisallows you to start off your mornings actively and be ready to take on thework. If you take the bus, get off one stop earlier to take some light exercisebefore 8 a.m.
Get up andmove around the office once every 60~90 minutes.
Whenyou're busy with work, it's easy to forget the time. Set the alarm to remindyou to get up and take a walk around the office. You can use this time to fillup your water bottle or go to the bathroom.
Askquestions and discuss questions face to face.
Go to yourco-workers' office to discuss questions face to face, rather than send an emailevery time you have a question. This gives you a good excuse to move.
Use yourlunch break to move around outside.
So manyAmericans today work during their lunch break. When possible, take advantage ofthis time to walk outside and enjoy the nice weather. Fresh air can make youkeep a clear mind.
