How to Sit Less and Move More

Want to Sit Less and Move More?

Low intensity, ‘non-exercise’ activities like standing and walking are much more important than we give them credit for. In fact, low level activities play a crucial metabolic role and account for more of our daily energy expenditure than moderate-to-high intensity activities.

Here are 10 quick tips for sitting less and moving more:

1. Get up and move around between seated tasks
2. Answer emails at a standing desk or kitchen counter
3. Change positions from standing to sitting and vice a versa when working, every 30 minutes
4. Make time to be active as a whole family
5. Hold a walking meeting
6. Stand up when someone comes to your desk to talk to you
7. Walk around whilst on the phone
8. Take stairs instead of a lift
9. Park further away from your destination and walk
10. Incorporate stretches and movement into everyday tasks
