Incorporate Your Workout Throughout Your Work Day

You do it all the time at work, multitasking. With a few simple changes throughout your workday you can make time for some exercise. To get you started, if you live close enough to walk to work, do so. If not, when you park your car take the furthest space from your building. Once in the building, take the stairs not the elevator for some aerobic work; rather than emailing co-workers in the same building, go walk to their office when time permits. Save time by bringing your lunch and then use some of your lunch hour to walk around your office complex. If appropriate and feasible, ask for a wireless headset for your phone so you can walk in your office while making routine calls. Whenever possible, do some office stretching after long bouts of computer work or add some relaxation exercises to transition at the end of the day.
