If you work in an office, it's easy to think that staying healthy is impossible. After all, you're probably sitting at a desk all day long and eating unhealthily. That's why it's important to find ways to stay active while on the job. Here are some tips for incorporating exercise into your daily routine and staying fit when working at a desk:
Eating Right
It's important to eat right while you're on the job. Even if you don't have time to exercise, eating right will help keep your body healthy and strong. It can also help you avoid getting sick, which means fewer days off work.
Eating right means eating the right amount of calories for your body type and activity level, so that you stay energized without gaining too much weight or becoming overweight. Eating the right types of food helps make sure that all of your body systems are working properly—like digestion and absorption—and that they get enough nutrients from what's eaten. Some key nutrients include protein, carbohydrates (like grains), fats (like oils), vitamins and minerals like calcium or iron in foods like dairy products or leafy greens such as spinach! Staying hydrated is also important because water makes up about 70% of muscle mass; without enough water it becomes difficult for muscles to contract properly during physical activity which can lead to injury!
Fruits and Veggies
Fruits and veggies are good for you. They're also low in calories, so you can eat lots of them without feeling guilty. They're also easy to eat because they come in such a wide variety of shapes and sizes (and colors!). You can take fruit or vegetable slices out of a bag or container, put them on top of your lunch, and then eat them like you would any other food. If the fruit is fresh, it's even easier: just peel off the skin before eating!
Another great thing about fruits and veggies is that they store well at home or work, so you don't have to worry about whether or not there will be anything left by the time lunch rolls around! And if all else fails—if you're out at work but there isn't any fruit/vegetable stock left—just go ahead and make yourself some sandwiches instead; this will still provide plenty of nutrients without taking up too much room in your stomach when combined with other foods such as meat products (beef jerky) or high-energy bars made with nuts on top instead of peanut butter spread evenly across both halves."
Finding the Proper Calories for Your Body
After you’ve calculated your BMR, you can determine how many calories you need to maintain your current weight. To do this, simply multiply your BMR by a number between 12 and 16. (Use the lower number if you want to lose weight, or the higher one if you want to gain weight.)
To determine whether or not your diet contains enough protein for muscle growth: Multiply your body weight in pounds by .8 grams of protein per pound of bodyweight. This value represents how many grams of protein per day will support muscle growth.
Exercising
Exercising is a great way to combat the effects of stress, even if you only have time for a few minutes each day. Here are several ways to make the most out of your exercise routine:
-
Keep it simple. A lot of people make the mistake of trying to do too much in one session, and then get tired or frustrated and stop going. Try starting with just 5 minutes of walking on a treadmill or around an indoor track at 3 miles per hour, then build up from there as you feel more confident about your abilities.
-
Find something you enjoy doing! If it’s not fun for you, chances are good that you won’t stick with it long enough to see any real results! Some ideas include: biking through your neighborhood; running up stairs (or hills); playing tennis or baseball (if there’s room inside); swimming laps; jogging on a treadmill while reading/watching TV shows online; dancing with friends (really).
General Exercise Tips
There are some general tips to remember when exercising. First, always stretch before and after you work out. Second, stay properly hydrated by drinking plenty of water throughout the day. Staying properly hydrated will help prevent cramps that can occur from overexertion during exercise. Third, warm up and cool down before beginning your workout routine; this will also allow your muscles to reach their maximum potential for strength and stamina while working out. Fourth (and finally), wear proper clothing while exercising: long pants or capris with an athletic top is ideal; avoid wearing loose-fitting clothing as it could get tangled in machinery or equipment during work hours at the job site!
Fifth (and back at number four): wear proper footwear when working out such as tennis shoes or cross trainers—the latter two options being more appropriate for running-style workouts than plain old tennis shoes would be
Stretching
Stretching is an important part of staying healthy and fit. It helps prevent injury, it can help you recover faster from exercise, and it can even help you relax and sleep better.
In addition to stretching your muscles before or after exercise (which I'll talk about in the next step), there are many other benefits to stretching on a regular basis:
-
You’ll feel more flexible in your movements
-
Your joints will be less likely to become stiff or sore
-
You could improve the flow of blood through your body by increasing flexibility
How to Exercise While Still on the Job
There are many ways to stay active while still on the job. Walking is a great way to get moving in between tasks. When you take a break from working, walk around the office instead of sitting down and get up from your desk every once in awhile to stretch your legs. If you have an office with a treadmill or elliptical machine, use it for some time each day.
In addition to exercise at work, make sure you have healthy snacks ready for when hunger strikes during lunch break or after work hours. The healthier options will be easy to grab on your way out of the door so that they won't be temptations later on when hunger hits!
Concluding Thoughts

The best way to keep yourself healthy on the job is by making it part of a daily routine. You should try to exercise every day or every other day, depending on what works for your schedule and how much time you can devote to being active throughout the day.
