At Your Desk Fitness

We’re 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 you’re 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 you’re 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

Don’t 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, you’ll 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
