Even if your workday includes a trip to the gym afterwards, it\u2019s the choices you make during the workday that can have a significant impact on your health and weight.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Taking action with small, simple steps throughout the day like the following:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Set an alarm on your phone or computer to remind you to get up and move.<\/li>\n<li>Jot down what a typical day\u2019s worth of tasks looks like. For example, you may write, \u201cAnswered emails from 10:00 to 11:30.\u201d Next, jot down some ways you can plug in a little extra activity in between, or during, daily tasks.<\/li>\n<li>Pack healthy snacks in reusable plastic containers.<\/li>\n<li>Keep a water bottle handy and fill it often. Stand up and march in place or do lunges whenever the bottle is empty.<\/li>\n<li>Pack your own lunch every day. You\u2019ll save money by skipping the drive-thru. A $5 fast food lunch once a week adds up to $260 in a year!<\/li>\n<li>Set your own \u201cfood rule\u201d such as \u201cno eating at the desk\u201d or \u201cno trips to the vending machine\u201d to help keep healthy habits top of mind.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Keeping a resistance band nearby is another simple way to sneak in extra activity throughout the day.
