Exercise for healthy work


  The proven benefits of exercise are endless. Most people already know that mountain of research show that regular physical activity improves every aspect of our health: it decreases cardiovascular risk, manages stress, improves mood, eases chronic pain, and on and on.


Some people are committed to fitness and get more than enough exercise. But, most are not. There are a lot of reasons behind this ,but the most common one is difficulty in figuring out how to “ make” exercise happen. Modern life is just so darned busy. Our work days are long, our commuter are longer and home responsibilities can easily take up rest of our time.


 So how do we make this work ?


1-Exercise doesn't have to mean going for run or to gym. The goal is to avoid sitting for prolonged periods. There are great benefits from all activities for any amount of time: it all adds up.


2-Exercise can fit into busiest work day. If you have to go to another floor, take the stairs . Try walking across the office to chat with colleague , instead of sending an email. If someone is going for coffee, go with them. If the weather is nice and you have a meeting planned, transform it into a walking meet. . If all you can do is stand up from your desk every half hour and stretch, may be walk around your office, then do that.


3-Keep track of what you do. If you have a wearable step- counter, this can be a fun way to keep track of your activity and your progress. If you realize you haven’t moved much one day ,then try to get up and move around more. Invent a reason to go for walk .It can be motivating to see how your stamina improves over time.US officials has provided guidelines for adults on amount and type of physical activity, based on evidence. All adults should avoid inactivity .For substantial health benefits ,adults should do at least 150 minutes a week of moderate intensity ,or 75 minutes a week of vigorous intensity aerobic physical activity ,or an equivalent combination of moderate-and-vigorous- intensity activity. Additional health benefits are gained by engaging in physical activity beyond this amount.

We’re beginning to be dependent on them in business, education, personal lives and other areas. Local media now compete at a global level, and domestic consumers have access to international content and services. Convergence is changing established investment patterns, as well as competition in, and the structure of, the media market. Media distribution is no longer tied to one specific network, which increases the availability of these services and products. This changes the relationship between content creator and content distributor. Content creators have more opportunities to distribute their content, and can contact readers and viewers via various platforms. Distribution therefore ceases to be a barrier for the content creator. Traditional distributors have less influen...
