Rely on to-do lists – yes this is related to fitness.

To-do lists are a wonderful way to tell your mind and body that you have done what you were supposed to do at work. Don’t let unnecessary gossip sessions, lengthy lunch and tea-time breaks, obsessive tweeting, or Facebook stalking eat into your productive time. 

Lists will ensure that you value all that unhealthy sitting down. Lists will also keep you mentally proactive and this goes a long way in disciplining your mind in following effective fitness habits in the office. Attach fitness to-do actions against each job/task completion. Finished that powerpoint presentation? Take a 5 minute walk while discussing the next project over the phone. Finished writing another article? Go refill your water bottle and get started on the second liter for the day.


  • Avoid stiffness from hours of sitting – get stretching:
  • Avoid dehydration that causes unreasonable hunger pangs – get drinking:
  • Sit straight – adjust your chair, desk, computer screen and keyboard:
  • Eliminate food that makes you feel uncomfortable:
  • Be active – use your phone calls for brisk walks and off-the-chair time.
  • Rely on to-do lists – yes this is related to fitness.
  • Avoid smoke breaks.
  • Maintain office hygiene.
  • Pack and carry at least one nutritious meal from home.
  • Be proactive about avoiding stress in everyday office life.
