But, the fact that your company doesn?t offer a wellness program does not mean your efforts to get fit, lose weight and live well, have to be put on hold during the work week.
Here are a handful of healthful tips that will support you in living well during your 9-to-5:
Take a Stretch Break — Pause at least once every two or three hours to get up from your desk and stretch. You can bend over and touch your toes or you can clasp your fingers and raise your arms overhead. Stretching improves flexibility and increases circulation. It is also a good way to clear your mind and relieve any stress that may building up in your neck and shoulders.
