Activity At Work

It’s a fact of life that many of us have a desk job and part of the process involves this new age thing called a computer which, by the way, can cause physical nuisances such as eye strain, neck pain, back pain, weight gain etc. etc. To overcome or prevent these happening, we need to do a few things to increase your Activity at Work.

Meeting a Few Floors Up or Down?

Take the stairs. I do at least 200 stairs a day - it’s just a habit! 10x20 or 20x10 here and there adds up - you’ll be amazed how just taking the stairs can help you feel better, more invigorated and more alive at work.

The Stretch and Roll

Every hour remove yourself from your chair, roll your shoulders backwards up to your ears and down 5 times. Surprised how much lower they are now?  You are easing the tension in your neck and shoulders. Don’t forget 99% of the things we do are in front of our bodies, so we need to even up - no wonder our spines get bent!  Then while you are standing up do a few gentle rotating twists each way - don’t force it.

The Toe Touch

Sit on the floor and stretch the hamstrings by gently leaning forwards, attempting to touch your toes. Easy does it. "But I’ll look stupid!"  Who cares?  - I don’t.

The Push Up

While you are down there, over you go and try a couple of push-ups - men off the feet, women off the knees. People staring?  Tell them to join you.

The Half Crunch

Toning muscles is a great way to fight the ageing process. The simple half crunch, if done correctly is a great way to build your core strength. Core strength means less back pain, better posture and beach worthy abs.
