Stand Up More Often
Some companies will give employees desks that convert from sitting to standing. It doesn’t hurt to ask, suggests nursewise.com, a health education company. If you don’t have that luxury, get creative! Have a conference call? Take a break from your chair. It’s just as easy to stand and talk as it is to sit and talk. Pacing is an even better idea! Throw in some squats, leg lifts or arm exercises and now you’re burning calories in a quick, simple way.
