Modern jobs are often sedentary and make you spend your days in the office checking emails, doing other things on the computer, and attending meetings. It’s become a norm today so many people don’t even think about doing something to change it. However, introducing some activity into your sedentary lifestyle may be crucial for keeping you healthy in the long term. Here’s how you can ease yourself into it.
Take Breaks
If you can, take a short break after every hour of sitting down. It will activate your muscles and get your blood flowing. Set a timer if you tend to forget.
Eat Outside
It’s too easy to eat your lunch at your desk while you’re replying to some overdue emails, but getting outside, even if it’s just for 15 minutes, will make the difference.
Use the Stairs
Stairs are an easy way to work some cardio into your workday, so avoid the elevator at all costs. The more you do it, the easier it will become until you turn it into a habit!
