Medical Video: Step Into Ninja's Ultimate Stream Room!
Tired of working in front of a computer screen for hours without rest? Butt as if sticking in a seat? Don't have time to go to the gym? If that's all you experience, you may not realize that your health is at stake. Recent research shows that cardio exercise for 30 minutes and done five times a week can maintain your health.
We will help you create a healthy lifestyle through avoidable health problems and exercises that you can do at work.
General health problems for office workers
Office work usually places employees to sit for long periods of time. When you sit in the same place for a long time, your metabolism will slow down. The way the body controls sugar levels, blood pressure, and breaking fat may change.
Allowing the body to become inactive while in the office can lead to health problems, such as heart disease, type 2 diabetes, cancer, and low mental health due to immobility in the office. Even if you cycle to work or use stairs instead of elevators, you are still at risk of developing health problems if you are not actively moving in the office.
Some sports that you can try
You can do the five sports below at your desk. In addition to increasing strength, this exercise can burn a few extra calories to improve health and spirit while working.
The Wall (Street) Sit
Stand with your back against the wall, bend your knees and slide your back until your thighs are parallel to the floor. Sit and hold the position for 30-60 seconds. You can use this time to read books, magazines, or documents. To burn more energy, you can try crossing your right ankle above your left knee, holding it for 15 seconds. Repeat the same movement with the other foot.
The Office Genie
This exercise will help you relax more. When sitting in a chair, lift your legs to a cross position. Place your hand on the arm of the chair and push it up to lift your body from the chair and hold it for 10-20 seconds. Then sit back to the chair, rest for one minute, and repeat the movement.
The Shoulder Shrug
This exercise is quite simple. You only need to lift both shoulders towards the ears, hold for 5 seconds and relax. Repeat 15 times. If you want to add a level of difficulty, try standing up and holding a ream of paper in each hand.
The Lunch Break Hammy
Stand behind the chair, hold and make the chair as a support. Slowly kick one leg backward until the heel height is parallel to the top of your thigh. Then lower your legs down and repeat the movements with the other foot. Repeat the exercise 10 times. After a little lunch, you can make 10 moves again.
The Desk Squat
First, stand with your feet, keep your chair away. Gently bend your knees until your thighs are almost parallel to the floor (copy the movements as if you were sitting on a chair). When you bend, lift your arms straight up or toward the computer screen while keeping your knees parallel. Hold position for 15 seconds and release. Repeat the exercise 4-6 times.
The five exercises above are easy to do for office workers while working. Now, you have no reason, right? Insert the exercise above in your routine. With a little effort, you can have a healthy lifestyle. You will feel productive at work and in other activities.
