Quick Tips for Fitting Physical Activity Into Your Day at Work

•    Use your commute to do some extra walking. Park several blocks away, or get off the bus a few stops early.

•    Use the stairs instead of the elevator, at least for a few floors.

•    Suggest holding meetings with colleagues during a walk inside or outside the building.

•    Go the extra distance when possible: Get your coffee on another floor (use the stairs) or use the restroom that's the farthest from your office.

•    If you need to speak to a coworker, walk to that person's office or station rather than using e-mail or the phone.

•    Use your morning and afternoon breaks to take quick 15-minute walks.
