Working at a desk job often means a sedentary life, but that does not have to be so! At Therapeutic Solutions, LLC in Newport News, VA, we encourage our patients to live an active lifestyle. Take some of these tips to get moving even during the work day.
While at work, it is important to take “sitting breaks”. At least once per hour, stand up and stretch or walk around. Doing so will give your body a break from being in the same position all day. Plus, it will get your blood flowing better. Good excuses for quick walks are going to get water, visiting a co-worker’s desk, or taking the long route to the bathroom. In addition to refreshing your body, it may also give your brain a break (which is needed for good productivity!).
Do you take the elevator in your office building? Try replacing the elevator with the stairs. As long as the climb is not unreasonable, you can raise your heart rate several times per day. If you keep taking the stairs every day, you will also notice a change in your stamina and maybe even your leg muscles.
A sedentary lifestyle can lead to weight gain, stress, heart disease, and other health problems. Take these tips to help you move around more during the day if you have a desk job.
Working at a desk job means lots of time spent sitting down. So keep these tips in mind for your health! For more information visit our website at www.therapeutic-solutions-llc.com or feel free to contact Dr. Brill & staff at 757-873-4131.
