Ways to Get Moving When you have a desk job
This new age of communication has left
many of us facing our computer screens
for hours and the consequences of all of
that sitting are beginning to unfold.
Even if you exercise regularly,
sitting at a desk for long periods of
time breaks down muscle and can
lead to an inflexible spine, poor
circulation and a strained neck.
We live in a time where you have to
be reminded to actually move. The
good news? Simple movements
during the day can help. Here are
some ideas:
Set an
alarm to
stand and
stretch
If you’ve been sitting for an
hour straight, get up and do a
few stretches at your desk.
Standing occasionally for
5-minute increments can help
prevent muscle break down.
Take those stairs
I know you’ve heard this before
but always opt for stairs whenever
you can and especially if it’s a
time that breaks up long bouts of
sitting. Walking the stairs is a
great way to get your heart rate up
even for a short time.
Walk around the building for breaks
Does your work offer a coffee break? Avoid using that time to look
at Facebook (although I know how tempting it is), get up and walk
around. Hopefully, there’s a coffee cart somewhere far away from
your desk for motivation.
Wall Lunges
Do you have a wall near your desk?
Stand up, lean against it standing
straight and do a few wall lunges. This
helps get your blood flowing and
heart rate up for a bit.
Chair squats
Stand in front of a chair with your feet hip-width apart.
Slowly lower yourself toward the chair without sitting,
keep your knees over your ankles. Place your weight in
your heels and straighten your body upright and repeat
Do a quick and easy exercise every time
you go and come back from the bathroom
This will help you keep moving throughout the
day and will become a good habit
Park your car far away
Parking your car far away helps
you get more steps throughout
your day
