Sedentary office jobs that require very little to zero physical activity is not at all healthy for the human body. Sitting all day does not burn the calories consumed and is likely to result to weight gain. It is also known to cause back pain, headaches and listlessness. Working with the computer the whole day does not do any good either. Typing or data entry for long hours may cause muscular injury and carpal tunnel syndrome.

There are some ways you can stay fit while working on the office. Here’s a list of simple aerobics that may be done within the office:

• Once in a while, raise your right arm and tap your left toe to the side while keeping your right foot on the floor. Do the same alternately. You can also march in place.
• Imagine that you are on a jumping rope. Hop with either alternate feet or both while your hands are simulating the arm motion of turning a rope. This exercise effectively tones arm muscles.
• Perform walk lounges to the stairs or to other parts of the office. Pull your chin towards your chest until you feel your back being stretched. You can also bring your shoulders up to your ears.
• Grab an opportunity to stand and raise your feet and knees. This will help prevent accumulation of too much blood in your feet and toes. This improves circulation of the blood in the lower extremities.
• While seated, you may lift your leg alternately and extend it out straight for at least two seconds. You may also stretch both hands over your head and reach as high as you can. Doing so will help stretch and tone your arm muscles.
• Walk every chance you get. Walking helps manage weight and keep it within healthy limits. It reduces the risks of heart diseases, diabetes, stroke, cancer, sleep apnea and osteoarthritis.
