Stuck at your desk for hours? You’re not alone. While modern work often requires long periods of sitting, our bodies crave movement. The good news? You don’t need a gym or a ton of time to stay active.
Here are 10 simple ways to keep your body moving throughout your workday—right at the office or your home workspace.
Instead of sitting during every meeting, walk while you talk.
Tip: Use wireless earbuds or speakerphone so you can stay hands-free.
Set a timer to remind yourself to stand up and stretch every 60 minutes.
Focus on your neck, shoulders, spine, and wrists—areas most affected by sitting.
Ditch the elevator! A few flights of stairs can quickly get your heart pumping and strengthen your legs.
Chair squats, seated leg lifts, calf raises—there are plenty of easy movements you can do at your desk.
Quick Tip: Add a resistance band under your desk for leg and arm workouts.
Use a standing desk or stack books to elevate your laptop. Alternate sitting and standing to reduce back and neck strain.
Even a 10-minute walk outside can lift your mood and help you reset for the afternoon grind.
Choose the furthest restroom, coffee machine, or printer to add more steps to your day.
Instead of scrolling through your phone, use short breaks to do light stretches, yoga poses, or breathing exercises.
Wearable devices or step-tracking apps can help you stay motivated and hit your daily movement goals.
Drink more water, and use refills as an excuse to stand up and walk. Staying hydrated is good for your health and your step count!
You don’t have to overhaul your schedule to make movement a part of your workday. These small changes, when done consistently, can lead to big improvements in energy, posture, and mood.
Start small, stay consistent, and move more—your body will thank you.
