Did you know that exercising at work improves your time management skills, mental ability and ability to meet and complete work deadlines?

Today work plays a major part in our lives – we are spending more and more time at our workplace than in our own homes. Our days tend to be fully utilised with jobs to do, running around after our children, work deadlines, house work, overtime, etc. It is no wonder that many of us find it difficult to schedule exercise into a normal day.

Due to our ever increasing hectic lifestyles we are finding it more and more difficult to squeeze in any form of exercise. This is where being at work may actually be quite positive. Not many of us would ever think to exercise while we are at work or even at our desks. You still may think that you don’t have time to exercise at work, however, with little imagination and our At Work training program, it is very simple and possible.

Studies show that workers who exercised for 30-60 minutes per day whilst at work said that their time management skills, mental ability and ability to meet and complete work deadlines improved on the days that they exercised.[1] The mode and duration of exercise did not make a great deal of difference – an effect was present regardless.[1] Other common benefits of exercising at work are;

• Decreased fatigue
• Reduced stress
• Greater ability to cope with work pressures
• Greater work focus
• Increased mood
• Increased productivity

There are many ways that exercise can be performed at work. Exercise can be performed many times throughout the day; it does not have to be concentrated to one big block. Below are some simple alterations that can be made to any work place to allow incidental and planned exercise to be performed;

• Use the stairs instead of the lift
• Sit on a fitball instead of a chair when at a desk
• Use a headset for the phone so that your hands are free for small exercises
• Use office machines or toilets that are either on another level or at the opposite end of the workplace
• Keep small weights or resistance band readily available at your desk for use throughout the day

AT HOME understands the limitation of time and space for exercising at work. We have identified these issues and specifically designed a training program that can be performed easily at a break or various times throughout the day when you may have a spare couple of minutes. No expensive equipment is required just you and your motivation to be healthy. Our workout is simple and effective, for both workplace and general health and wellbeing.

At Home also provides ONLINE EXERCISE PROGRAMS FOR THE ENTIRE FAMILY our programs are inexpensive, quick and easy to download without membership fees or lengthy questionnaires.  They include your very own personal trainer B Your At Home PT who will give you tips on posture and breathing in every exercise.  All programs can be performed with or without exercise equipment as our programs include equipment substitute ideas e.g. if you don’t have dumbbells you can substitute with a heavy object found in your home i.e. books or plastic bottles filled with water.

Each program package includes program card with exercise details, written and photo exercise instructions including B Your At Home PT, body measurement instructions with recording sheets for monitoring results and a healthy eating plan for the entire family.
