From the October 2012 issue of Runner’s World

Spending long stretches of time at your desk is bad for your health, even if you’re active after work

Occupational therapist Julia Henderson-Kalb says it’s important to get up and move around during the day. Here are some tips to get you moving:

• Sit on an exercise ball instead of a chair.
• Set an hourly alarm to remind yourself to stretch.
• Walk around when you talk on your mobile phone.
• Take the stairs.
• Use a restroom on a different floor.
• Park far away from your workplace entrance.
• Take your lunch to work and use the extra time to go for a walk.
• Develop an in-office exercise routine with exercise bands or light weights.
