Easy Everyday Workouts For the Office 01/06/2011
Working out in the office does not have to be crazy. It can actually be very simple and easy. Being busy in the office means that you probably do not have the time to go to the gym as much as you want to. Your concept of a gym will have to change and adapt to your office. Thus, your cubicle will be your gym. Why is working out at the office important? First of all, most of your day is in the office, so you might as well figure out some simple ways to help yourself getting moving. Including, commute time, you are probably almost always sitting. When you get home from work, you probably don't have the energy to do any kind of exercises, not to mention night classes. After awhile, we started to catch on and realized that us humans were not meant to be seated for such a long period of time. All the different aches and pains that you experience is an indication you have been sitting too long and you need to get up. Even if you workout outside of the office, the long periods of sitting slows down your metabolism and your body stops producing lipoprotien lipase, which is the enzyme that removes the fat in your blood cells. Without it, you start building fat around your body, and no one wants that. Even if you are in good health, simply sitting for 2-4 hours a time without getting up will increase your chances of heart disease, obesity, cardiovascular disease and blood clots. Being in shape means you can handle stress better, thus perform better. What can I do to prevent these things from happening to me? 1. The number one thing you can do is to simply get up out of your chair every hour and stand up. 2. You can get up and give yourself a nice office stretch, by bending over and trying to touch your toes. 3. You can give yourself a side stretch sticking one hand in air and leaning over to one side. You can even lean and bend one knee as well. 4 You can do arm circles in the air, first small ones, and then big ones as well to give yourself the full range of motion. 5. Marching in place is also a good one as well, since you do not have to travel anywhere. The movement of the legs will help you stimulate blood flow in your lower body, since you've sat down for so long.
