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!
