Simple but effective workouts while at work? They exist! Tackle the sitting sickness with Deskercise.<\/p>\n

Sitting all day costs us years of life. Despite this fact, most Dutch people sit in the office all day and relax after work. Sitting increases the risk of back problems, obesity-related diseases and shortens our lifespan. Many of us have such busy schedules that it’s hard to schedule a workout in there. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

But staying physically active throughout the day is easier than you think! It is not only good for your health but also for your brain and productivity. We publish 45 tips in 9 series of 5 to stay active while at work. This is the fourth part:<\/em><\/span>

\u29bf Move your leg<\/span><\/span>
\nTapping your leg keeps your mind active, prevents boredom, burns calories and reduces stress.
\n\u29bf<\/span> High knees
\nPretend you are running, but stay in one place and pull your knees up high: a great way to raise your heart rate for a short time (5 times 20 sec)
\n\u29bf B<\/span> alance on one leg
\nPractice your balance and improve your concentration: Concentrate on a spot on the ground in front of you and slowly shift your weight on one leg. Spread your arms, bend your upper body forward and lift your other leg off the ground. Hold this as long as you can and then switch legs.
\n<\/span>\u29bf<\/span> Hop back to your car or bike
\nEspecially after a long, hard day at work, it feels good to celebrate going home! Hopping (or jumping) to your car or bike is a wonderful workout that makes you feel like a kid again.
\n\u29bf<\/span> Go to the most distant toilet
\nAre there multiple restrooms in the building: take the farthest one. This gives your brain more time to recharge and allows you to exercise a little more: every little bit helps.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
