Do you move enough?

By Jamie Stedman on 18th June 2021

At Fitter Body Ladies we have our 3F system.

You've probably heard me talk about it.

It stands for:

Food

Fitness

Focus

If we get all 3 right we should be able to achieve the results we've always wanted.

This week I'll give you some tips from all 3 Fs.

Today is Fitness.

So many people's daily habits have changed over the last 15 or so months.

Some for the better

Some for the worse

Many have used the opportunity of change to start living a healthier lifestyle

Many have done the opposite

One of the biggest changes is working from home

Rather than the drive/walk/cycle to work it's the 20 steps to the spare room

No walking through the corridors, no walking up the flights of steps, no walking to the drinks fountain, toilet, canteen etc

Even those doing an office job at an office vs at home would do an extra 2000-4000 steps a day by moving around the office.

Over a few days this doesn't add up to much but over the course of months it definitely does.

Plus the effects that this can have on posture, headaches and other general health.

If you're working from home then you have to actively seek opportunities to move.

Get up every hour and walk around the house

Have regular intervals for stretching

Have a walk before/after work or lunch time to move around

Don't eat at your desk

Keep moving to fill up your water glass

Just little things like this will help break up your day and increase your daily activity.

If you wear a smart watched have you looked at it at 5pm and found you've done about 300 steps?

Use the time gained by not commuting to get out and do some exercise.

Have a great day,

Jamie
