Top Tips for Staying Active at Work

  • Park your car further from the office so that you walk for longer or leave your lunch in your car so that you have to walk to go and get it.
  • Organise for you and your colleagues to go for a run or walk at lunchtime.
  • Take the stairs rather than the escalator/lift. You increase your heart rate and burn more calories!
  • Set mini-challenges with your colleagues.
  • Join an activity challenge using our Activity Tracker. We can even set up challenges for you and your colleagues to allow you to compete against each other. Contact us on the details below for more information.
  • Do some deskercise!
