Here are 10 suggestions on how to put that rule into action:
Standing and walking
Walk while talking on the phone. Sit down to take notes. Complete the call standing up.
Choose the kitchen, meeting room, bathroom and stairway that's furthest away.
Stand up and sit down without using your hands five times.
Don't eat at your desk. Go for a walk to a nearby park.
Invest in a pedometer and see how far you can walk in a day.
Gently stretch
Stretch your torso. Take a deep breath and exhale, grabbing the back of your chair with one
hand, then the other.
Relieve pressure in your neck and shoulders by shrugging up your ears and then releasing
several times.
Loosen hands by making air circles with hands held straight in front of you.
Stretch your legs by extending them in front of you, flexing your toes and point. Do this
several times.
Stretch shoulders and upper back by grabbing your elbow on one side and stretching your
arm across your chest. Do the same with the other side.
