Adding Movement to Your Workday: 5 Tips for a Healthier Lifestyle


Introduction

Sitting at work all day isn’t just a comfort issue—it can impact your health and even shorten your life. But adding some activity into your routine doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming. In this blog we explore 5 ways to increase activity at work and boost your well-being during the workday.

The Risks of Sitting:
  • People with sedentary jobs have a higher risk of all-cause mortality and cardiovascular disease.
  • Even a little extra activity—just 15 to 30 minutes a day—can make a big difference.
5 Ways To Increase Activity at Work:
  • Get Up, Stand Up: Use a standing desk or alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day.
  • Desk Exercises: Try leg extensions, heel raises, or seated twists to keep your muscles active.
  • Travel for Refreshments: Take a walk to grab a snack or drink from a different floor or building.
  • Skip the Email: Deliver messages in person to reset your body and mind.
  • Active Meetings: Consider walking meetings to get some fresh air and exercise.

Take the First Step Towards Relief!

Making it Work:
  • Pair your new activity with an existing routine to make it easier to remember.
  • Establish external reinforcements, like setting alarms or using apps for accountability.
  • Start with what feels easy and enjoyable, and build from there.
Conclusion

By incorporating simple movement into your workday, you can improve your health, boost your energy, and increase your productivity. So why not give it a try today?

The Online Physical trainers and physiotherapists are amazing professionals. I visited them about an issue with my tight hamstrings and they provided me with a systematic approach to unlocking them and getting me back to sport. I am an exercise professional myself and recommend my clients to visit OP for any of their Physio needs. If you would like a truly client focused and educational experience then please see the team at Online Physical.

I have Fibromyalgia and I have been a patient of Milos' for almost a year. At first I was skeptical that online physiotherapist could help with my chronic pain, but I'm glad I gave it a try. Under his guidance I have made significant improvements in my strength, endurance and ability to function. I still have pain, but less than before and my quality of life and level of functioning is SO much better. I've also seen improvement in my fatigue. I highly recommend anyone with chronic pain to see Milos.

The best thing I’ve done post injury, rehab and recovery. Milos is a book of knowledge and helped not only work through current injury management and recovery, but changed my lifestyle and also injury prevention for the future. Can not recommend Online Physical highly enough! Thanks Milos!
