When it comes to exercise, some of us think that if we don’t have time for a full workout there’s no point in exercising at all. But the truth is, any exercise is better than nothing.
Increase Physical Activity
Physical activity is any bodily movement that results in you using energy. You perform physical activity in everyday activities such as taking the stairs, and is called incidental exercise. Just 30 minutes of physical activity each day can help towards maintaining your health and wellbeing. So be active in as many ways as you can.
Stand-up more at work
New Australian research shows that simply getting up more from your desk each day can be good for your health. The more often you take breaks and walk around the office, the lower your waist circumference and BMI.
Exercise more
Exercise is a structured, planned and repetitive form of physical activity that serves a purpose. You perform exercise to help improve or maintain aerobic fitness. Any exercise is better than nothing, so erase the concept that if you don’t do 30 minutes of exercise you’re wasting your time. Exercise burns kilojoules, increases energy and helps maintain your health – even in small doses. Work with the time you have.
Stretch at your desk
We’re not designed to sit for extended periods of time in the one position. Take a short five-minute break for every hour you sit at a desk, go for a walk or do some stretches.
