Bring your workout to work

Cinzia Cuneo 29 novembre, 2011

Most of us sit for too many hours, either driving in a car or at our desks. But we can all build easy exercise strategies and make them a daily routine.

Start with these 5 easy exercises:

• Park farther away from where you need to be and walk the rest of the way : You can do this on weekdays, going to your job, and on weekends, doing your shopping.

• Take the stairs rather than the elevator: Climbing stairs is an excellent exercise to get your heart pumping.

• Get up and move: Break up your sitting time any 60 minutes or so; standing and pacing help the circulation.

• Do leg stretches: Nobody can see what you’re doing under your desk, so take frequent opportunities to stretch your legs and feet.

• Move your upper body: Start with a few shoulder rolls, both forward and backward, and gentle neck rolls.
