Well, you did; you graduated from college and get a job! If you were like me in college, you were constantly on the road. Now, life has slowed - and you've noticed that your active lifestyle too. Maybe you found a post office and realized after the first month, it is difficult to stay active when eight hours of the day are spent sitting at a computer. Fortunately, there are several small steps you can take to start the new year right
Stand Up - Studies have shown the sitting position for long periods of time can damage your health. Simply get up and move, your body has a chance to stretch and improve circulation. You can get up and ask a question to your colleague rather than emailing them, or you can just get up and continue working. I tend to start the rhythm and doing leg swings, or even squats while holding
Eat healthy -. This seems obvious, but it is very easy to start snacking on biscuits brought your colleague instead., Prepare a healthy meal and several small snacks for the day. Choose items that are high in protein and low in calories; apples with peanut butter or hummus and pretzels are great options. And do not bring the whole bag, but pack a handle in a portion size bag. You are more likely to eat less that way. In addition, part of healthy eating is to keep your body hydrated. Studies have shown that you should drink 8 glasses of water a day; This is a drink for every hour you are at work
* Check with your employer to see if they approve bringing you the following items and storing them in your office
dumbbells / free weights - Yes, these colorful rubber weight that you have used in gym class can be an unobtrusive tool to help you stay active while sitting. Take the time to lift weights while reading the details of your upcoming project. Strap-on weights are another great option that may be less burdensome, especially if you want to give your legs a workout too
Resistance Wraps -. These can be used while sitting in your chair. If you need your hands free to type, you can do leg exercises by placing the band around your legs and tie the two ends together. Then just stretch the tape with your legs and feel the burn! If you read and have the opportunity to work on your arms, loop one end of the envelope around your feet to secure and hold both ends. Pull the film forward and hold, release and repeat. It is easy!
Staying active and healthy for the new year can be difficult when your job you need to sit behind a desk, but I found these helpful tips are a great way to squeeze in exercise your daily office life. Many companies offer additional options for their employees to stay fit, so check to see if your company offers everything. For example, my company encourages us to stand up and walk for 15 minutes twice a day during the working day. They took a level by creating a "Fun with Fitness" program that challenges us to work on a minimum of 40 minutes four times a week!
If your company does not offer any sort of fitness program, take the opportunity to start something new. Do you have other tips to stay healthy at work? Please share your strategy in the comments below!
