Desk Jobs - What to do?

I exercise after work and on weekends.

I work out after work. The gym is next door, so I force myself to go, even when i don't want to. Pack your bag in the AM, or the night before and take it to work so you have no reason to not go!!

I work out either during my lunch break or after work and on the weekends. I also take a brisk walk outside or do laps around the office during my morning and afternoon break.

Exercise after/before work.

I have found it's the only way to stay sane haha.

I work out before work, and I also take a couple 10/15 minute breaks to walk around the building. I keep an old pair of tennis shoes in my desk drawer. About 3 days a week I pack my lunch, eat at my desk, and then use my lunch hour to walk around the building. Most places are required to give you (2) 15 minute breaks a day (at least in my state). I also use the bathroom on the first floor of building (my desk is on the second floor).

I have a desk job too. Working out at the gym is almost impossible because after work I have to cook and clean up after my kids. So I put on head phones or turn on the radio and do power cleaning. Instead on cleaning and cooking at a low moderate pace, up the pace. Instead of picking up alot of things at once I go back and forth, I get my sqatting excercises and walking excerise workout just doing that. Dance while you cook. I don't suggest it when your cutting something no but serious. Not only will you enjoy it but the kids will too.

Agreed. I took a week off from the gym a couple weeks ago- definitely showed me how much of a stress reliever it is.

I workout before work and every 20 minutes or so I get up and walk a couple laps around the building (or go to the bathroom, get some water, etc.) If I'm swamped with work I'll get up and walk around about once an hour.

I do mini-workouts during the day. 10-15 min of squats, pushups, tricep dips, or any type of non-jumping exercise in my office. Or just take a short walk or a longer walk at lunch.

After work I do a longer workout. DVDs or strength training at home, or some type of outdoor exercise (hiking, biking, running, etc.)

In the past I've worked out in the morning before work, but I'm not much of a morning person so I prefer after work.

I thought about getting that cycle to go below the desk, but it won't fit under mine, lol.

I also do mini workouts throughout the day, mostly so my ankles don't swell.

Definitely get to moving when not at work. I gained a lot of my weight when I got a desk job. I was not super active after work to begin with, and then when I became not-so-active at work the lbs piled on.

But, yea, moving around as often as you can while it work is good. I have taken phone calls standing, myself, lol. Just get so tired of sitting!

I've lost 50 lbs so far, and I have a desk job (9 - 5). My goal is to walk 15,000 steps per day. I walk to work and back home after work because I live in the city and work in the city. I always walk during my hour lunch break (12 - 1) and after work (6:00 - 7:30). Then I just walk from doing daily things like getting ready, cleaning, errands, etc. On weekends, I tend to take walks as well.

I work 8-5 m-f too.

I unload all the shipments that come in (carrying boxes to and from the warehouse - I used to let the technicians do it, now I only ask them if the box is too heavy for me, or we break it down and do it together)
Walk at lunch
We have a bathroom upstairs and downstairs - I try taking the upstairs one (unless time is of the essence, which with 8-10 glasses of water a day sometimes it is!)
Walk the dog at night (It's my parents dog, but sometimes if I feel I haven't moved enough i'll take him)
I also have yoga 4 days a week (Monday and Friday after work, and Saturday morning and Sunday night)

I also have a fitbit so I track it - if I notice one hour I didn't move much according to my fitbit I get up and just walk around the office aimlessly. And if my phone rings I run back to get it (It's a small office, but still then there's a little jog!)

I sit at a desk also! I try to walk to the bathroom that is way down the hall. I try to walk on my lunch break at least a mile. I'll take the steps when I go up or down stairs for something. Never take the elevator. But, most of the time have to sit at my desk. Any little bit I think helps! Good luck!

I walk before work almost every day, but if I can't get that in before work, I walk at lunch time. There are a ton of sidewalks in my business park, so I take advantage of them. I also make a point of walking around the office several times a day and take the stairs instead of the elevator.

I work out for an hour to an hour and a half before work each morning. Then throughout the day, I will get up and take walks around the clinic to check up on people and see how things are going. That's about it.
