Active Ways To Avoid Desk Job Health Risks
Too much sitting and too little exercise is bad for your health. Get off your seat and make physical activity part of your daily routine. Smalls burst of activity produce the best metabolic benefit! 1. Start with your commute. Walk or bike to work. If you ride the bus or metro, get off a few blocks earlier and walk the rest of the way or simply give up your seat. If you drive to work, park a little further away. 2. Work at a standing desk. While it might be out of the question for you — or your boss — to invest in a standing desk, there are plenty of ways to creatively build your own. 3. Walk laps around the office. Avoid sitting for more than 30 minutes to 1 hour at a time. When not at your desk, try a short walk to the break room or down the hall to increase your circulation. 4. Stretch at your desk. Try some yoga poses on that conference call or some squats. If space is limited try some simple neck stretches or prop your leg up and stretch out those hamstrings. 5. Try a yoga ball chair. Not only can an exercise ball chair help strengthen your core, but it can also improve your balance – all while you do your work at your desk job! https://health.thefuntimesguide.com/desk-job-health-risks/ http://www.mayoclinic.org/healthy-lifestyle/adult-health/in-depth/office-exercise/art- 20047394
