I chanced up Modern Living and I am so thankful to be reading this article below. There is hardly any time for exercising when you are always busy with work. I hope this helps.
For most people that work in offices, their jobs requires that they sit at their desk for long hours on the same spot and this reduces the level of exercise that they get every day.
Most people that work in an office environment tend to add on weight very easily because they spend most of their time sitting at their desk.
Furthermore, when most office workers leave office, they sit down on trains or inside their cars to convey them home, and when they get home they also sit in front of their television set in the evening to relax. At the end of the day, the average office worker spends about 20 hours each day totally inactive.
Also, added to this inactivity is the fact that quite a number of large offices have their own restaurants where their “Inactive workers” can go and fill up their bodies with lots of foods so, at the end of the day quite a number of their employees will end up with wide waist lines.
This inactive lifestyle is particularly even more pronounced amongst IT workers who spend virtually the whole day sitting in front of their personal computers.
If you are an office worker caught up in this inactive life cycle, you have to find means of injecting some form of exercise into your daily routine so that your inactive daily routine does not send you to an early grave as this kind of inactive lifestyle will only make you fat and more predisposed to the development of serious diseases like diabetes, hypertension, coronary heart diseases etc.
Therefore, here are some important tips that you can make use of to stay active and fit:
Tip 1-Learn to use the staircase
Most corporate workers depend too much on elevators to get their offices; most of them will still want to use the elevator even if their office is on the first or second floor. If you want to keep fit, you can use the staircase as a form of exercise, and even if you work on the ground floor, you can take occasional strolls on the staircase; just grab a piece of paper so that you will appear as if you are going on an important business.
Tip 2-Make use of stress balls
If you use the computer keyboard a lot at work, this particular exercise is very good for you. What you need to do is to get a stress ball which you squeeze repeatedly for at least one minute; make sure you form a tight fist every time you squeeze it.
This simple exercise increases your forearm strength and it also increases the rate of flow of blood into your hands and forearms.
Tip 3-Drink lots of water
The most nutritious refreshing drink that you can take is not cold soda; the best drink for your body is ordinary plain clean water. Anytime you feel thirsty at work, just get an empty glass and walk over to the water fountain to fill your glass with water.
By the way, are you interested in knowing the right foods that you must eat to complement your fitness efforts?
