A workout will release endorphins, increase your energy and so wake you up.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Foam rolling\u00a0vs\u00a0static stretching<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Feeling sore and can&#8217;t seem to get the nots out of your muscles.

Do something different and by keeping it active, it will feel more rewarding as well.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Standing desk vs seated desk<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>You see them more and more these days. Why not make the switch to a standing desk, burn more daily calories hopefully reduce your back pain.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Sitting on a desk chair vs fit-ball<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try alternating between sitting on your desk chair and on a fit-ball throughout the day (20 to 30 minutes on the fit ball at a time, as sitting on a ball creates an increased load on the lumbar (lower back) spine and can cause discomfort over time).\u00a0 Make sure the ball is fully inflated, at the correct height and that you sit up straight.\u00a0 Sitting properly on the ball requires subtle muscle contractions of the core, hip and leg muscles to maintain balance, which contribute to muscle tone.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>Walk around the office vs another coffee<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Getting tired at work and feel your body needs another coffee? Try and wait for a bit, grab a chilled glass of water and go for a quick walk around the office.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>\n<h4>HIIT workout vs 1hr jog<\/h4>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>First of all, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with a jog. But depending on your goals and time schedule a 20-min high intensity interval workout might be more beneficial.
