Training at the office and home

It is autumn, soon winter, and most people are back to the "normal" everyday life with work, school, leisure activities, social life, and training. For many, the last part can be difficult to find time for as often as desired, due to busyness or other things getting in the way. Therefore, it can be a good idea to combine work life and home life with training – so you get some exercise every day, if you do not have time to set aside for it otherwise, which is incredibly important for good health.

During long days of sedentary work, this can affect posture, and to counteract this, we have gathered some simple exercises to counteract poor posture.

Important to get some exercise every day

It is incredibly important to move a little every day. It is recommended to get at least 30 minutes of activity every day – and just half an hour is basically quite a manageable amount of time, which should be possible to get exercise in. The minimum 30 minutes can easily be done during the day at the office (when you are not busy with work tasks and meetings) or at home. Here we have made a guide for training at the office and at home with simple tips and exercises that you can perform without necessarily having much equipment.

Why exercise at the office?

At the office, you often sit very still. Workdays can vary, whether they feel heavy or light, there can be a lot or little to do, and you might not have time to think about anything other than what you are doing at work. However, for health reasons, it is not good to sit still constantly and not get exercise, while also being strained by work tasks. Therefore, it is important to get some form of training in at the office.

Tips for exercise at the office

First, it is important to "prepare" the body for training; this can be done by, for example, stretching and bending a little. If you have some weights at the office, that is optimal, but it is not expected that you should bring a lot of training equipment to your workplace. With the weights, you can easily do some strength training while sitting in the office chair or standing. If you do not have weights or dumbbells available, you can use heavier books or office equipment that provide weight. Here you can do various exercises; you can either walk around with the weights, or do some lifts or squats. We have made a guide to different strength exercises: The best strength exercises for the whole body.
