Not everyone could exercise everyday, especially with a very busy work schedule and lucky are those that who could. For those of you stuck in that cramped cubicle with very little space for burning those calories, here are fun ways in making sure that you stay fit without disrupting your daily routine:
Walk Your Way to Work
Walking is that pleasurable act that keeps our heart pumping with energy. If you come too early for work, you can take off a few blocks from where your bus or train ride usually stops, and just walk. You'll never know what places you'll discover.
Get Up! Don't Sit Around!
Many of us are glued to our office chairs for 5-8 hours a day. We not only wreak havoc to our spine, but without being conscious of proper sitting posture and ergonomics, we can do more damage to it. Always take that opportunity to stand, stretch and brisk walk. You can do gentle stretches instead of hanging around at the office lounge. Not only will you feel refreshed, but you help oxygen flow to your mind, making you mentally focused for today's task at hand.
Try Swiss Ball for a Chair
Swiss balls or fitness balls are easy to store and carry around. These inflatable balls come in colorful varieties and different sizes. Afraid you might roll on the floor instead? A good inflated ball can be healthful for you. Since it is unstable, your body will adjust to it as it tries to keep balance. This means you train your body to align correctly itself and have that perfect posture, while you work on your desk. Call it multi-tasking with the benefits.
Get Involved!
Companies do have those fun-filled activities and you may want to join and be social. You may also join or start a fitness campaign where you could all go for a fitness session after work. Instead of the usual meeting around that conference table, why not try walking meetings instead? This can be fun especially when your office building has a great outdoor view. Not only will you burn those calories from lunch, but you'll also gain a good network of friends.
Feel the Energy: Try Office Yoga
You might never have heard of it but Office yoga are simple stretches that you can do, even while you're sitting and waiting for that client to call. You can try wrist rotations to relax your tired wrist from all those typing works. Stretch, flex and rotate those elbows, shoulders, neck, arms, ankles, hips and legs. You can try a simple "Sun Salute" at the office by standing straight and reaching up with your fingers interlaced. Inhale deeply as you do this. Then, bend down slowly without locking your knees and reach as far as you can. Exhale and release all that negative vibe and feel the difference.
Passion to live life to the max have made me want to spread the word on healthy living... besides, living life to the fullest is all about getting your dreams and sharing it with your loved ones, and making sure you have all that energy in keeping fit for that tough ride we call LIFE.
