It is quite normal for many of you to spend hours in car, bus or train for going as well as coming back from office. This makes you bad-tempered, stressed and tired motivating to eat more food for getting comfort. To get rid of these a very helpful tool is work out as we all know exercises are best stress-fighter. The problem is spending long hours on the way not only makes you stressed but also steals the precious free time from everyday life when someone will do exercise.

So, we have to reach at a solution which will be helpful but also realistic. If you are using public transport while going to office & coming back home you can get down a stop earlier & walk for ten minutes both the way. If you drive you can park the car at a 10-15 minutes distance from your office and reach & come back with a walk. When the weather is pleasant you can even come back from office walking while enjoying some music.

At office you can use stairs instead of elevator & for bringing or transferring any documents you can do that physically which will keep you active & mobile. During lunch you can go to lunch room by walking rather than having it on your desk. It will bring a change as well as keep you walking. Since most people need to carry on overtime this stress makes you eat just before you sleep which is not recommended by doctor & also gives you very less of sleeping hours. During week end you should take proper rest & sleep because it has been found that people who gets much less sleep desires more to have rich junk food.

At your office you can carry some fresh fruits, vegetables, salad or any other healthy food which you can have when you are hungry so that you don’t need to depend on unhealthy alternatives for snack.

Sitting the full day at office not only makes you overweight but also results cardiovascular disease, diabetes & early death.

Sometimes you can exchange work with some co-workers whose duties are not of sitting. Also while having a telephone conversation or reading any documents you can stand or walk around.

Surely your corporate life has much importance but do not forget corporate life is only a certain part of your life, above all other part what you have to love most is your life. When you are healthy you are not only happy but also much more productive & efficient. So your foremost importance & care should be for your life, your health.
