There are many advantages to working from home, one of the biggest being that - because you don't have to work hours
travel to work - freeing up a lot of your time. That's why many people in home office immediately
change our daily routine and (especially in the busy periods: early January or before summer) promise to
to ourselves that we are doing our best to stay fit. Good idea, but what exactly do you do to
make it happen? We've written about it in this article.
The home office is not for everyone
Before you read the article, an interesting fact. In recent years it has become clear that not everyone
the home office: while many people can indeed work more efficiently, there are those who need a
the opportunity to relax, take a nap, make long phone calls, have a coffee, a little
to play, to procrastinate. But there are other "dangers" too.
The dangers of the home office
And the reality is. The fact that all your favourite snacks are just a room away. You don't need

you don't necessarily have to walk to a "restaurant" for lunch and there's no gym to go to with your colleagues.
you could stop by.
The home office offers us relaxation on a platter, muscles that are stiff or strained, which is a straightforward
way to your neck pain, back pain. Unless you do something about it. Here are some ideas.
Dress casually
Of course, that's not training in itself, but if you work in a home office no one expects you to

at your desk. If you're in a loose sweatshirt (how many of these funny videos have we seen, right?)

for a push-up or a 2 minute bike ride as a businnes in casual clothes.
Make the most of the breaks
If you work from home, you can take a break whenever you want: even right now. Take advantage of it! If you just

Make everything ergonomic
In the office it may have been impossible to do your job in a way that was comfortable for you, but now,
that you are the boss at home, you can design your workspace as you see fit. It's a funny idea,
but try it: don't work sitting all day: stand for a while, walk around (for example, when you're on the phone), get some
ergonomic chair, support, do anything that will save you from adjusting your neck or extreme

and healthy: experts say you only need 30 minutes of walking a day
to improve your cardiovascular fitness.
Get some home exercise equipment
There are some home workout equipment that cost "pennies" but produce sensational results
it can achieve. An exercise bike (can be second-hand), a skipping rope, a few dumbbells and a few
