Being physically active at work can be easy! Here are some small things you and your organization can do to increase physical activity levels:

• Stand while talking on the phone.
• Walk down the hall to speak to someone rather than calling them on phone.
• Take the stairs rather than the elevator.
• Walk to the farthest printer.
• Schedule exercise time just like any other appointment in your day book.
• Brainstorm project ideas while going for a walk.
• Start a walking club.
• Start an active commuter program with your colleagues to get to and from work.
• Post motivational posters in your office or building.
• Form a sports team to raise money for a charity.
• Participate in or start a recreation league at your company.
• Stay at hotels with fitness areas while on trips.
• Try a group stretch routine instead of sitting down for a coffee break.
• Integrate a physical activity program into your human resources strategy.
• Allow for flex time for people to participate in physical activities.
• Host recreational events such as golf tournaments, horseshoes, dances and sports days.
• Ensure employees have access to things like bike racks, showers and change areas.
• Create a "quality culture" and work environment that supports individual employee health and productivity.
