4 do’s for sedentary jobs

Many of us do such work where you have to sit for long hours and it goes without saying that sitting long hours is not good for your health. However, many of us also don’t have the luxury or audacity to leave such job and opt for something more laborious.Well, even if you have a sedentary job, don’t worry. Just remember that you need to move your muscles a bit while working in an office setting. Here are 4 things you can do to work as well as maintain your health.

  1. Stand up and stretch for a few seconds

If you kept sitting for many hours at a stretch, it will definitely create problems for your health. To avoid any such problem, stand up occasionally from your seat and then stretch your body for a few seconds. Repeat the process for a few times and then get back to work again. Keep doing this in every one hour so that your muscles don’t get inertia.

  1. See your posture

How you are sitting can heavily impact your health. That’s why it’s important to see your posture every now and then. If you sit slouching backward, it will definitely invite back pain in the long run. Rather you should sit close to the desk and keep your backside straight to the chair so that your backbone doesn’t feel the stress.

  1. Stay hydrated

We often forget to drink water when we are at work. Sometimes it happens that we haven’t taken a sip throughout the day because we were too busy. It may take a heavy toll on your health. It’s very important that you stay properly hydrated at work. Keep a water bottle in your desk so that whenever you look at the bottle, you feel tempted to take a sip from it. This is how you can stay hydrated and full even when you are working like a dog.

  1. Do some silly exercises

It is for sure that you cannot do heavy exercises while you are in the office, but it is also true that you cannot sit whole day. There comes the role of short and silly exercises. For instance- take a short break and go for a walk every now and then. And then sometimes just stand up and if possible give push-ups for 10 times only. This way you can keep yourself fit even if you have a sedentary job.
