National Employer Health & Fitness Day
posted 05/19/04
Working Out at WorkToday, May 19, is National Employer Health & Fitness Day. Americans spend so many hours at work that it's often difficult to squeeze in time for exercise. Here are 10 ways to bring fitness to the workplace and help break up the monotony of the day:
1. Park farther away from work, or get off public
transportation at an earlier stop.
2. Take the stairs instead of the elevator.
3. Go for a walk around the block during lunch.
4. Deliver messages by hand instead of by phone or e-mail.
5. Instead of meeting in the office or over lunch, meet in the gym or while
taking a walk.
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.
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 fundraising
events.
