Keep fit at work
Top tips for
being active
at work
A healthy commute
Walking or cycling to work is a simple way of building exercise into your day without too much effort.
If you can’t walk all the way to work, why not get off the bus, train or tube a stop earlier and walk the rest?
Exercise before work
Go the gym on your way to work - find a gym that’s on your route to the workplace and get your workout done early.
You’ll feel good all day!
If you skip breakfast you’re more likely to reach for the chocolate biscuits or eat your lunch at 11am. Eating breakfast will help motivate you to keep moving.
Opt for healthy snacks too!
Don’t skip breakfast
You don’t need to perform a series of squats whilst waiting for the office photocopier to warm up, but move around the office regularly.
Go and talk to people rather than firing emails at people who work in the same office as you.
Move around the office
Regular trips to the water cooler are another good reason for moving around the office.
Drinking water aids concentration and digestion – plus its calorie free!
.
Top up on water
Even if you just walk around the block, it’s good to get away from your desk if you can.
Remember, you can walk a mile in 15 minutes if you walk at a fast pace.
Take a lunch break
Get an exercise buddy!
Having a friend to run with, or attend a class with, will mean you’re less likely to skip a session.
Find a friend
Why not join, or set up, an office sports team?
Football, basketball, netball or whatever takes your fancy. It’s a great way of encouraging that team spirit.
Be part of a team
If you really want to get fitter, why not do some post work exercise?
Go for a swim, visit the gym or jog home.
