Are you working from home? Here are 6 ways you can stay fit

Check out 6 ways that might help you to stay fit while working from home.

Working from home is becoming more common as a result of its multiple advantages for both the employee and the employer, but there are a few potential drawbacks to remote work as well. 

Most remote work is done while sitting at a computer or on the phone. Employees may find themselves stuck in one place for an extended amount of time, especially if there are no meetings or coworkers to urge them to get up and move about.

All of this can contribute to an unhealthy lifestyle. So, to help you stay active while still getting your work done, you can follow these tips.

10 ways to avoid inactivity in the at-home workplace and stay fit:

1. START THE DAY WITH A STRETCH:

Before you relax into your home office chair and take a two-hour meeting, stretch to get your joints and muscles moving. Stretching also helps to reduce joint and muscle aches that might occur from sitting for lengthy periods of time.

2. KEEP EXERCISE EQUIPMENT NEARBY:

Aside from scheduling walks or stair climbs, it's a good idea to keep hand weights, resistance bands, exercise mats, pushup bars, and chairs visible and possibly even "in your way." When you take a break from your laptop, you can pick up the weights, do some repetitions, do pushups and leg exercises, utilise the resistance bands, and gain strength for a few minutes at a time.

3. DEVELOP A ROUTINE:

Habits and rituals are extremely powerful behaviour patterns that can either keep you on track or cause you to fall off. 

When working from home, it's critical to establish regular habits for oneself. 

Establish a regular wake-up time and schedule your work and breaks. Have workout equipment or weights on hand, or simply perform pushups, walk, or use a standing desk. Use fitness apps to remind you to exercise.
