Just because you're at work, that doesn't mean you can't get fit! Your workout doesn't have to be restricted only to your gym time. There are lots of ways to work on your fitness at work, and we've listed a few of our favorite below.

1. Take a Walk – We all need a break from work; in fact, it's recommended you stand up and walk around for at least 5 minutes every hour. This helps to keep your energy levels high, reduces fatigue, and improves concentration. Take a walk to the water cooler, run up and down a flight or stairs, or walk to the lobby.
2. Squat – While talking on the phone or listening in on a conference call, take a moment to get in a few sets of squats. You can do them literally anywhere in the office, and they're a great way to fit in a lower body workout.
3. Stretch – Every hour, get up from your desk and spend 5 minutes stretching. The more you stretch, the more flexible and mobile your joints. After a day at work, those stretches will reduce your risk of lower back, hip, and knee pains.
4. Deliver it in Person – Got an important document that needs sending off, or have to deliver an important memo? Instead of shooting it off via email or messenger service, take a walk and deliver it yourself. It's a few minutes of movement that will burn calories and restore your energy.
5. Make Your Lunch Break Count – Instead of heading to a bar or bistro with your buddies, use your lunch break to take a walk around the block. You can spend half of your break getting in a bit of exercise, then use the other half to enjoy your healthy lunch.
6. Stand More – Standing can do wonders for your fitness! If you're talking on the phone, get up from your seat and move around. Standing can help to counteract the postural effects of sitting and reduce fatigue.
7. Run in Place – Every hour on the hour, spend 1-3 minutes running in place in your office or cubicle. A bit of fast-paced cardiovascular exercise will get your heart pumping and restore energy levels to full.
8. Drink More Water – Water will help to reduce fatigue and keep your body working. Make it a point to drink at least half a liter of water every hour, and go and refill your bottle regularly. It's a good way to move around and keep your metabolism working well.
9. Do Office Workouts – There are dozens of awesome movements you can do at the office: the Photocopier Calf Raises, Desk Squats, Seated Leg Raises, Wall Push-Ups, Wall Squats, Shoulder Shrugs, Stapler Curls, Desk Chair Swivel, and the list goes on. Fit in a few resistance training movements while at the office, and you won't need to spend as much time at the gym!

A bit of activity at work can make a huge difference in your overall fitness. Find creative ways to fit in more exercise, and you'll see results in no time.
