5 Simple Exercises You Can Do at Work

1. Calf Raises

While waiting, try calf raises to keep blood flowing and relieve tension. Stand on your toes, lift your heels, lower them, and repeat. It's simple and effective. Other options include ankle circles, gentle leg stretches, or shifting your weight from foot to foot.

2. Walking

Whenever you have time, try walking inside or outside (weather permitting!) of your workplace. Walking is the best exercise to do on your lunch break and is as ‘normal’ as any exercise gets. Try splitting your lunch break between eating and walking – giving at least 10 minutes of your time for a stroll.

3. Taking the stairs

It might seem obvious, but many skip stairs for the lift. Taking the stairs twice daily, with proper posture and bent knees, offers a great workout and helps keep you active throughout the day.

4. Shoulder shrugs

Whether sitting or standing, keep your back straight. Lift your shoulders towards your ears, hold for a few seconds, then relax and release.

5. Neck stretches

Start by relaxing and gently tilting your head forward. Slowly roll your head toward one shoulder and hold the position for 10 seconds. Then, roll your head to the opposite shoulder and hold for another 10 seconds. Relax your neck and lift your chin back to the starting position. Repeat this sequence three times on each side.

Incorporating these 5 simple exercises into your workday can boost your health and well-being. Don’t forget,
