With 9 to 5 office jobs, you often end up sitting at your desk all day, only getting up to eat lunch and use the bathroom. If you’re trying to reach a step count goal of 10,000 steps per day or you want to incorporate more physical activity into your lifestyle, here are some ways to increase your step count at work.
Park Far Away
Choose a parking spot that requires you to walk a few extra minutes to the office. You may find that during this time, you can unwind and relax for just a short while.
Try going to bathrooms on different floors or farther away. You can take the stairs to get there.
Exercise During Lunch
Give yourself a midday break by going for a walk around your office building or fitting in 15-30 minutes at the gym for a quick workout. You’ll feel more productive for the rest of your day!
With conference calls and speaking with clients, you probably spend a lot of time on the phone and if you don’t need your computer to talk, stand up when you’re on the phone and walk around.
Send Less Emails
Connect with your coworkers by having conversations with them in person instead of over the email. Next time you have a question, walk to your coworker’s desk.
