I take breaks like this! Super helpful. Here's some other things I find helpful:
- Standing desk! Keeps you more engaged over all, and let's you move around more naturally. I bounce, or stand on my toes, or stretch, or twist as I work.
- If not standing, sit on a stool instead of a chair.
- The mailbox is about an 1/8 of a mile trip. I go check the mail.
- I keep weights next to my desk and will pick them up for a few minutes at a time.
- My yoga mat is always out - I can easily take a few stretches.
- My cat needs exercise too during the day, so I will chase her around.
- Install a pullup bar in a doorway by your desk.
- Cook healthy food - hugely important.
- Most of my after work hobbies are a bit if not very physical (dancing/hiking/music) so luckily I catch up with my activity in my free time.
- When I'm travelling for work, I always bring gym clothes for the hotel gym. Crucial to my sanity!
Good luck out there!
Good list ! I have them covered in my next articles !
stay healthy ;)
