10 Smart Tricks to Stay Fit While at Work

5) Lunch In Versus Lunch Out

Packing your lunch at home when you’re NOT hungry and in a hurry will help you to pack smart choices as a opposed to the option of racing to the nearest restaurant when you’re starving on your lunch break. With the menu full of pictures and a growling stomach, you’re less likely to choose healthy options (if there are any.)

6) Get Some Air

Every couple of hours, leave your desk and take a few quick laps, preferably outside. A bit of increased heartrate will increase oxygen intake and blood flow. This will not only increase your ability to think, but will provide benefits to your heart, lungs and muscles if done consistently and frequently. I had a friend years ago who lost over 30 pounds by taking 2- 10 minute walking breaks and a 30 minute walking lunch each day.

7) Do a Chair Workout

Make your chair a piece of exercise equipment. You might want to close your office door or you could invite your co-workers to join you! Who says you have to go to the gym to get a workout? Here’s an idea of a workout you could easily do at your desk.
