You're probably chained to a desk for most of the day if you're like most people. The sedentary nature of office jobs can harm our physical and mental health.
Fortunately, there are ways to combat the adverse effects of a desk job and become a "wellness warrior." Let's explore some tips and tricks to help you stay healthy and active at work!
There are several ways to increase your fitness and improve your health without making drastic changes. Here are some ways to incorporate fitness into your workday.
Set a Step Goal
To achieve your goals effectively, it's important to set attainable targets.
Although the 10,000-step goal is excellent, aiming for 3,500 steps per day is more practical if that's what you're currently achieving.
You can still take steps to increase your activity level, such as parking your car far away and taking stairs.
You can also walk during conferences or meetings if they don't require visuals. The key is to make it manageable.
Workout on Your Lunch Break
Even if there isn't a gym in your office, you can still find a way to incorporate some movement into your day.
For instance, I ran a successful push-up challenge at work.
So, if physical activity is a priority for you, then you can definitely make it work.
Don't Get Too Hungry
What are the effects of starvation? The donut your boss bought for everyone is in the break room and tempting you.
Studies have shown that when we are hungry, our willpower often wavers. So, it is best to have healthy snacks on hand like nuts and seeds or a piece of fruit.
This way, you will stay away from the break room and be able to maintain your focus.
