Source: 10 Ways to Move More This Week
Even if you work out regularly throughout the week, chances are most of your time is spent sitting in a chair. All that sitting is not only bad for your waistline, but it's also incredibly bad for your health. Resolve to move a little more and sit a little less during the work week with these simple actions.
Wake up earlier and do a 10-minute workout routine: It doesn't take that much extra time out of your day to do one of these 10-minute workouts in your living room.
Park a little farther from your office building than usual: A few extra steps a day can add up.
If you take the bus or subway, then stand instead of grabbing a seat: Standing instead of sitting helps keep cholesterol and blood sugar levels in check, and bracing yourself while you stand during the ride will help burn a few more calories as well.
Take a walk at lunch: A midday break can help re-energize you.
Instead of happy hour, meet up with friends for an exercise class after work: You'll save and burn calories while still getting quality time with your friends.
