Office fitness

Here are some more ways you can incorporate health and fitness into your working day. Making little changes can make a big difference to your health.

Take the stairs – A lot of people avoid taking the stairs and instead take the lift. Even if you only work on the second floor, walking up the stairs several times a day will help to keep you active. If you work on the ground floor you could still use the stairs as part of your fitness plan. I’m sure you could find an excuse to walk up the stairs a few times a day.

Water - Water is essential to a healthy body. The majority of people don’t drink anywhere near the recommended 2 litres a day. If you have a drinks fountain in your office you could aim to drink a glass every hour. Once you start drinking more water you will soon notice the difference it makes to your general health.

Walking- Pedometers are very cheap in price and help to keep you motivated. It’s recommended we each take 10,000 steps a day to be healthy. You could wear one all day and see if you can increase your steps throughout the day, just walking from your office desk to the printer will count!
