In fact, by doing this you can get a significant work out every day, and you won't even need a shower and change of clothes when you get to work either.

Of course, for these options to be practical, you will need to have access to a shower and a changing room at work so you can tidy up before getting to your desk!

This being something that is becoming increasingly popular in wellness at work schemes at the moment.

In fact, many businesses not only provide classes like yoga during the work day but also use a personal trainer to run kickboxing and self-defense sessions as well. Something that will give you will a fantastic workout, and improve your focus and stress level at work.

The next option is to use your lunch hour for exercise instead of surfing social media and eating a sandwich. You can either pop to the nearest gym or go for a walk around the block a couple of times.

Finally, when it comes to exercising at the office don't rule out the possibility of exercising while you are actually engaged in work tasks. After all, with the standing desks, balance seats, and under desk steppers that are now available, you can be tapping away at your keyboard and getting some exercise at the same time!

Exercising at home

Lastly, if you find that your days are chocked full, then what about exercising at home in the evenings instead? Happily, to do this, you don't have to give up your Netflix or video gaming time. In fact, by using a portable cycle set in front of the TV, you can do both!

Of course, this does mean that no matter how busy you are, there will always be time to exercise and stay fit in your life, so no more excuses!
