You risk harming your health if you sit all the time at work. You should try these tricks if you want to remember to take a walk breaks at work always.
Research suggests that adults spend between 50-70% of their lives sitting, which will lead to serious medical complications sooner or later. Heart disease, diabetes, and obesity are the main three problems we need to be conscientious of, but there are many more issues associated with sitting too often, too many to name here.
Benefits of regular walk breaks at work
- Your body feels rejuvenated after just a short walk, especially after prolonged sitting
- Blood circulation gets jolted into action, increasing energy levels
- A change in activity refreshes you, increasing productivity
- A short walk can clear your mind and give you a new perspective on your work
- You lower your risk of catching a life threatening, long term illness
- Improves your mood and lowers stress levels
Day 1 Secret
Set an alarm to remind you to walk for 2 minutes on the hour, every hour, while at work.
Why it matters?
Sometimes when at work it can be difficult to find the time to take a 10 minute walk, so compromise by taking two minute walks every hour. Brief walks can be just as useful as longer ones, and your boss isn’t going to complain if he sees you walking for two minutes! Taking them at specific times also adds some regularity to the process so you know exactly when it’s time to recharge and go for a short walk.
