Health Tip: Staying active at work
Posted
Regular physical activity can help keep your thinking and learning skills sharp. It also causes the body to release endorphins; these chemicals can give rise to feelings of pleasure.
Staying active at work can be done easily; small changes can make a great impact. Try out some of these strategies:
• Park farther from the building and get a nice walk in before work.
• Replace a 10-minute coffee break with a 10-minute brisk walk.
• Take the stairs.
• Walk down the hallway to speak with someone rather than using the phone.
• Stand or walk while taking a phone call.
• Have “walk-meetings.”
