If you work in an office setting then you know how difficult it is to remain active. Most of us might spend the entire day sitting behind a desk, which according to leading studies is harmful to our health. Sitting impairs blood circulation and influences the amount of body fat you accumulate among other things. Here are three easy tips for staying active at work.

Parking spot: stop looking for the closest parking spot and instead park as far away as (reasonably) possible. Those extra steps will go a long way in helping you stay active.

Walk instead of email: try walking to a co worker’s desk instead of sending an email for simple request. The more you can stand up and walk the better for your health.

Get a standing desk: try asking for a standing desk. They can be a few hundred dollars, so this request might not be possible for everyone. However, a standing desk will be your health's best friends. The desk improves circulation, helps with weight loss and your metabolism.
