I\u2019m not alone. Most of us are juggling multiple tasks throughout the day: meeting deadlines, making connections and finishing projects.<\/p>\n<p>Yet, all this business does not translate into much physical activity. It\u2019s a bit of a paradox if you think about it.\u00a0Through all of this \u201cgo-go-going\u201d we often find ourselves sit-sit-sitting. According to data from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics<strong>,<\/strong> 23 percent of Americans have sedentary jobs, up from 15 percent in 1960.<\/p>\n<p>Even more discouraging research finds that regular exercise may not be enough to counteract the negative effects of sitting all day. Yikes! So, what can we do? It\u2019s simple really\u2026get up and move! Incorporating small bits of physical activity throughout your day is beneficial to your waistline and your overall well-being. Starting this month, try these tips for moving more throughout the workday:<\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">Set hourly alarms on your computer to get up and get moving.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"> I use the Task feature in Microsoft Outlook. If you don\u2019t work in front of a computer with scheduling software, you may try setting an alarm on your cell phone or carrying a small timer in your pocket instead.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">Keep a resistance band at your desk.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"> This portable, versatile piece of exercise equipment is a great way to sneak in bicep curls and tricep extensions during the day.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">Do lunges or chair squats at your desk.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"> The benefits of this lower-body exercise are well worth the funny looks you may receive from employees passing by.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">Walk with a co-worker at lunch.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"> Even if it\u2019s just a 10-minute stroll, you\u2019ll feel better physically and mentally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong style=\"text-align: justify;\">Replace your chair with a stability ball a couple of times a week.<\/strong><span style=\"text-align: justify;\"> This is a great way to stay mindful of posture and keep from slumping over your keyboard.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Our bodies were not meant to be seated all day, plain and simple. Try to think of exercise as loose change \u2013 it all adds up! And just like extra loose change, extra physical activity is something that will make all of our lives \u201cricher.\u201d By getting more active in both the workplace and at home with our families, we\u2019ll be on the road to more balanced lives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>How do you stay well in the workplace and at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><em>Maggie Thorison is the Wellness Manager at <\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.tops.org\/default.aspx\"><em>TOPS Club, Inc<\/em><\/a><em>., the original nonprofit, noncommercial weight-loss support and wellness education organization.
