Office Jobs

I don't know. I'm like you. On my lunch break I try to walk but I feel like there is so much time I could be using while at my desk that is going to waste. I'm looking forward to hearing what other people have to say.

Get a stand up desk if you can. Or work at a low file cabinet. Jogging or riding a bike for your commute can also help as can a lunch time trip to the gym or jog.

Don't get too obsessive about all that though, and instead focus on your calories and macro consumption.

I drink a lot of water at work so that I have an excuse to get up and go to the bathroom every hour or so.

I've heard that replacing your chair with an exercise ball is good for your core.

Most of my exercise comes after work, but I do need to get up a lot during the day. If I don't get up every hour or so, my legs start to tingle and my whole body feels like mud.

I just started working in an office after a few months working from home and it has definitely been an adjustment. I usually have meetings or something that comes up around lunch time so i wake up at 530 and do 30 minutes of cardio before work. This is also good because having to shower mid day after the gym when I have a meeting at 2:00 is a pain. I try to walk around whenever i can. I wear a headset so this makes it easy when i am talking to a candidate or on a call. use an excercise ball for my chair, it helps with my posture and my core. I drink tons of water.... and try to spend as much time outside on the weekend!

Shake weight!

But bringing resistance bends or dumbells may help? I dont get a lunc so I cant walk but I can do those.

I have a 45 minute commute, work in an office, and it's below freezing outside. To stay healthy I drink a ton of water with lemon slices in it and used a pedometer to make sure I am walking. I also try to exercise for at least 30 minutes once I get home by changing asap into some workout clothes. Even if it's just 15 minute HIIT w/o waiting for the dishes to be done, or the laundry being ready to be changed.

When I worked at a desk job all day, I was surprised how many phone calls and emails I would send through the office. So instead of doing that, I would just get up and walk over to the person's cubicle. Not hard, really but at least it got me off my butt! Oh and also, keeping a mug at my desk and then having to get up to refill it from the water cooler or make tea made sure that I was up and moving and getting my water intake (and subsequently walking to the restroom!). Two birds with one stone there. And I don't know if you are able to do this, but biking to work or walking helps tremendously.

I get up at least once per hour to get water, or go to the furthest away toilets (up four storeys). I bring a packed lunch so I can exercise at lunchtime, either a fast walk, a swim at the local pool or a run followed by a wet-wipe shower.

I do a little bit of office yoga about once every couple hours. There are some stretches and positions you can do in your office or even in your chair. I have problems with having a sore back and neck from sitting all day, so this really helps me feel better.

I stand and stretch as often as possible. Also get up to the washroom or run to the kitchen to get water often. I have also been known to take phone calls while standing.
