Sitting at a desk all day can be a huge detriment to your help. People who work at jobs where they sit for long periods are more likely to deal with health issues and have a shorter life span (yes, that’s actually true). The key is to get moving as much as possible. Let’s go over a few tips.

Standing: switching to a standing desk would be the most ideal situation, but since they are expensive that change might not be reasonable for most people. Instead, try standing up when you are talking on the phone or take a break to stretch every hour.

Park far away: try parking away from your office, so you can get a little walk in when coming and leaving work. Sure you might not work up a sweat, but you will get a few extra steps in.

Feet workouts: slip off your shoes and try writing out the alphabet with your big toe. The movement works as an exercise, will promote ankle strength and help with blood circulation.
