Sneak Exercises into Your Workday

Reimagine your desk, chair, stairs, and waiting time into opportunities for incorporating exercise into your day. Here are a few clever hacks to try while you tackle your daily tasks:

1) Take the stairs instead of the elevator to boost your heart rate and strengthen your legs.

2) Do periodic squats in front of your desk.

3) Strengthen your arms by doing “desk pushups”.

4) Set a timer for quick five-minute walks several times a day. This is also a great drowsiness zapper and focus improver.

5) Try a walking meeting instead of sitting in the conference room.

You can add these five exercises to your routine without the extra time commitment. Watch EAP’s past Health Bites Seminar: Crushing Back Pain for more healthy work practices.
