Morning,
Long long ago, back before the earth’s crust cooled, I worked at a large telecommunications company…in a building surrounded by park-like lands complete with MacGyver geese and other assorted wildlife.
One of the neat things I noticed was many employees would walk around in groups outside during their lunch break. True, I never joined them (what, me, exercise?), but still it looked like quite a good idea.
Sometimes companies will provide workout stations along paths that are carved outside their building. These stops allow you to do jumping jacks, stretches, pullups, etc., assuring your body of a rather decent workout.
The opportunities for adding exercise to your desk-bound routine are many if you work in a large corporate center! Some ideas include:
- Shunning the elevator up and down
- Taking a 5 minute quick walk down the hallways every hour, carrying some heavy books
- Volunteering to help move items from office to office
- Joining an employee fitness club
Speaking of employee clubs, quite often you can find many extracurricular activities that will benefit your health! For example, I was a member of the Jujitsu club, the Lion Dancers Club and the Singles Club (president of that, actually….); it was a great way to meet folks with similar interests and enjoy fun activities.
Here are some examples of corporate employee clubs:
Who knows what interests you’ll uncover?
Enjoy,
Barbara
ps – True, while I only played the cymbals, the Lion Dancing club was one to remember!
