Fit in the office

Sufficient exercise in the office is essential for our health and well-being. In addition to concentration and metabolism, it has a positive effect on the immune and cardiovascular systems. If you have to do most of your tasks while sitting, make sure you move around more in your everyday work. In this blog post, we will show you how you can “smuggle” more exercise into your everyday work.

1. Change of sitting and standing position

If you hold a one-sided position while sitting or standing, tension often occurs. Changing position three to four times an hour is ideal for the body – from sitting to standing and vice versa.

2. Active workplace

Design your working environment in such a way that you have to move around a lot. Certain folders, a shelf or a water bottle should be placed further away from you so that you have to get up again and again to reach them.

3. Working on the move

When making business calls, you should walk through the office, as walking will make you more alert and also more relaxed. When you are on the move, you will also come up with new ideas and overcome your mental blocks.

4. Exercises

To prevent pain, do light stretching exercises. Slowly turn your head left and right or raise and lower your arms. Take a short walk during the break or do a lap around the office building. Don't be afraid that this will waste you time; through movement you increase your concentration, creativity and productivity.

5. Active commute

Do not park the car directly in front of the company, but walk a bit. If you use public transport, you can get off earlier and walk the rest. Thus, you already collect a few steps during the office day.
