Learning to lift - Alister🏋🏻‍♂️💪🏻

8 hours at a desk. How much are we actually moving? 💻🚶‍♂️

Working at a desk all day makes it surprisingly easy to go hours without moving much.

I'm quite active outside work, whether that's lifting weights, playing golf or getting out on the water. But I've realised that having an active hobby doesn't necessarily mean I'm moving enough throughout the working day.

And it's not always about getting another workout in. Sometimes it's just about breaking up those long periods of sitting.

Here are 3 simple things I'm trying to do more often:

🚶 1. Take movement breaks

Every 30–60 minutes, get up and move around for a couple of minutes. Make a drink, walk around the house or simply stretch your legs. It all helps break up the time spent sitting.

☀️ 2. Get outside during lunch

Even a 10–15 minute walk can help clear your head, boost your mood and get you away from the screen. Fresh air is a bonus!

💪 3. Add movement to your everyday routine

Take calls standing up, do a few bodyweight squats while waiting for the kettle or walk somewhere instead of driving when practical. Small opportunities add up.

I'm learning that being healthier isn't just about the time spent exercising. It's also about what we do during the rest of the day.

What's one thing you do to keep moving during your working day? 👇
