Do you have trouble finding time for physical activity during the work day?Here are some quick ideas for fitting in morephysical activity into your work day:

• Park your car a little further away from the office.If you ride the bus, get off a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way.
• Take the stairs whenever you can. If you have a meeting on another floor, get off the elevator a few floors early and use the stairs.
• Rather than taking a coffee or snack break, take a short walk.
• Set an alarm to go off every hour to remind you to stand up and take a quick walk.
• Start a lunchtime walking group with your co-workers.
• Hold team meetings during an outside walk when the weather is nice.
• Use the restroom that is the farthest away from your desk.
• Wear a pedometer to track how many steps you take in an average day and challenge yourself to walk 10,000 steps each day.
• Check with your Human Resource department about organizing a fitness class at your office.
• Instead of sending an email or using the phone, walk to your coworkers’ offices to deliver messages.
