Stay Active Whilst Working from Home

There are some little changes you can make to increase your activity during your working day. Remember, every minute counts!

• Take regular breaks from your computer. Set reminders on your calendar to encourage you to stand and move every 30-60 minutes.

• Stand or pace whilst answering the telephone.

• Use what you've got – the stairs are a great way to be active. If you can, use a bathroom that isn't on the same floor as your workspace!

• Organise time to do activity with your colleagues – could you take in turns to lead a 10 minute workout over a video call?

• Take a look at our Active At Home pages for more tips on how to incorporate physical activity into your day.
