Workplace Health
Most of our waking hours are spent at work, which means the working environment can play a big part in our wellbeing.
Exercise
It isn’t always easy to fit physical activity into our busy lives. Many of us spend long hours at work and may have a long and tiring commute. Getting active at work is easier than you may think. Here are some tips for building exercise into your working day:
- Cycle or walk part, if not all, of your journey to work. Get off one bus or tube stop before your final destination.
- Walk over to someone's desk at work rather than speaking to them by phone.
- Take the stairs instead of the lift. Or get out of the lift a few floors early, then use the stairs.
- Use your lunch break to exercise. Your office may have a gym, or you may have access to a nearby swimming pool or squash courts.
