Do you work in an office?
Hi Athletes!
The past couple of weeks I have been 50% work from home and 50% work from the office, its a very big change from what I have become used to the last 2 years working solely remote.
One of the biggest changes is I have become used to going for a run and/or doing a workout on my lunch break… which is a little hard to do when you are in a nice dress and other people can smell you upon returning!
So I wanted to put together this list of how I am adding movement into my day on the day’s I am working from the office, maybe a couple of these will work for you too!
Save hard workout days for WFH, active recovery type activities for the office
Take the stairs - not just on your way in/out but each time you need to use the washroom I go up and down 3 flights for “fun”
Set a timer for 30 minutes, whenever it goes off… MOVE (doesn’t matter how… my coworkers are also listening for this now too lol)
Do movement snacks (I discussed this last week) Ideas in the FitRider Library and stretch at your desk
Eat your lunch at your desk while working (usually discouraged), take your lunch break time for a walk instead. Most people I know eat at their desks anyway, so TAKE your break and take it to move.
Invite those around you to do these with you and foster a culture of movement at your workplace
Hope this helps!
