WORKOUT AT WORK!

Some exercise is always better than none. Here are ten tips to help you get your workout at work:

 1.  Park farther away from the office, or get off public transportation at an earlier stop, and walk the rest of the way.

 2.  Take the stairs instead of the elevator, especially if you've got only a few floors to climb.

 3.  Go for a walk during lunch. One way to do this is to skip your usual salad spot on the corner and find one a little farther away. If you bring your lunch to work, use the time you save buying lunch to take a walk around the block.

 4.  Deliver messages by hand instead of by phone or e-mail, and walk over to co-workers when you need to chat with them.

 5.  Instead of meeting in the office or over lunch, take it to the streets (or park) for a walk — or even to the gym.

 

 6.  Take frequent breaks to get up and walk around.

 7.  Find a gym near your workplace and exercise for 20 minutes during your lunch break or just before or after work.

 8.  Use your headset or cell phone and walk around while talking on the phone.

 9.  Stretch occasionally while sitting at your desk.

10.  Participate in workplace-sponsored sports activities or athletic fund-raising events.
