With more and more businesses allowing flexible working options which often include working from home, it can be easy to fall into a routine of laziness and simplicity when the work desk is mere metres from the bed. On the contrary, working from home allows the freedom and flexibility to take exercise and leisure into your own hands. Read on to discover tips and exercises to incorporate into your routine, making the most of your workdays.
Start Your Day With A Walk
Starting your day with a walk is a great way to boost your energy first thing in the morning. Put on a podcast, catch up on current events or spin some bangers to get yourself moving and begin your workday already exercised, motivated and ready to go.
Depending on your schedule, you can also break your day with walks before, during and after your workday. Leaving the desk and the house is a great way to reinvigorate and re-energise your body and mind as well as avoiding the dreaded cabin fever.
Stand During Calls
Sitting for long hours can be terrible for your blood pressure, back, posture and more, especially when sitting on the couch or at the kitchen bench. Regularly standing or walking will decrease your sitting time and doing these things while working will integrate them into your workday seamlessly. Walk around the house or the block when on a work call or stand at your desk when on a Zoom call. Investing in a standing desk or finding somewhere to properly prop up your computer can help you get up out of your chair and boost your concentration and focus.
Turn Your Office Equipment Into Gym Equipment
With enough space, your desk or chair can serve as push up equipment to help you exercise from home. All you need is something stable to be able to complete push up exercises, including:
• Tricep dips: keep your arms bent at a 90-degree angle on your chair while pushing up and down.
• Desk push ups: place your hands on your desk in a push up position and push up and down.
• Wall push ups: again, place your hands in push up position on the wall and push back and forth.
Make sure to keep your legs at an angle and your entire body in a straight line for best positioning and results.
