If you are struggling to fit movement into your day, try these quick movement snacks that’ll keep you energised throughout the workday.
Morning – beat the seat while waiting for your computer to boot up:
- Circle your shoulders
- Rotate your ankles
- Drop your neck from side to side
- Take a deep breath in and out, and you’re ready to go!
Tea/coffee break – pass the time while waiting for the kettle to boil:
- Jog on the spot
- Do a few press-ups against a wall or door.
- Reach up and down to touch your toes.
- Hold your hips and bend back as far as you can (but be safe and don’t overdo it).
Lunchtime - step away from your workstation:
- Try to build in a walk (preferably outside) during your lunch break
- If you have access to stairs, walk up and down a few times to get your heart rate up and improve circulation
