5 WAYS TO EXERCISE AT WORK
(without getting fired)

2. 1. Match your
workout to
your work
mode.
Grouping similar activities, called
“batching,” eliminates some of the
mental setup time required between
activities. Why not apply it to exercise?
Quick activities like phone calls,
emails and errands, call for a brief
high-intensity workout or two.

3. 2. Schedule it.
A regular routine creates automatic
cues in the brain, so switching
between work and exercise will soon
become effortless.

4. 3. Mentally
map out your
break.
Start thinking about your break while
you’re doing other tasks; visualize
when you’ll go, how you’ll prepare and
what you’ll do.

5. 4. Leave off
strategically.
A to-do list and a few notes might help
you pick up where you left off, whether
you want to move around for 10
minutes every hour or head out for a
long workout during lunch.

6. 5. Drink up!
Dehydration is a big cause of fatigue
and lack of focus after exercise. So if
you’re heading out for a midday
workout, be sure you’ve had plenty of
water first and keep drinking when you
get back
