Desk-jobbers, how do you stay active at work?

I recently received a Garmin Vivosmart watch as a gift and have been reminded how sedentary the desk job lifestyle can be. I've started doing stair-runs every hour or so and I was wondering: what have y'all incorporated into your daily activities to stay active?

A few people in my office go walk around the building every hour.

I bang women on my my desk. I also try to walk the stairs twice a day. I try to do as much as possible without actually sweating, for purposes of remaining professional.

Walk around the building to 'wake up' after lunch. Walk to co-workers' offices I need to speak with instead of calling or emailing.

I built a stationary bike into my workstation so I pedal as I work

I work on the 4th floor so I take the stairs every time. I haven't used the elevator in my office in over a month. Still, most of my 10,000-12,000 steps a day occur after work at home when I am moving around the house, walking the dog etc...

Sitting at a desk all day to earn a living has to suck.
Couldn't do it.

Screw all that. I'm in a dang suit. I have an assigned parking space 3 feet from the front door. If I have to go from my office to the other side of the building, I get in my car and drive. Not to mention if I have to cross the campus to one of the other buildings. I walk to the bathroom. If it's not too cold, I'll walk to the cafeteria for lunch, but if it's cold, I'll drive over there.
I run about 3 or 4 miles every night either on the treadmill or on the road.

I do exactly what you do. I love my vivosmart. I started parking further, walking on my lunch breaks and getting up and moving more throughout the day. Those damn red lines really piss me off.

Kegel exercises. My dick has never been stronger

Tricep dips on my chair at work is about as strenuous as it gets. Get up and make coffee twice a day and go outside to take a couple of smoke breaks. I do have to bow up on the sliding gate every night when I go home.
I know, it's trashy.

I drink lots of water during the day and eat a high protein diet. This translates into frequent walks to the bathroom.

I would love to be able to take the stairs in my building since I work on the 14th floor but once you enter the stairwell you can't gain access to any door except the bottom one. It's emergency only. I try to go walk around the block a couple times a day. I figure if people are taking 6-10 cigarette breaks a day I can go for a 5-10 minute walk.

I like jumping rope and doing jazzercizes to break a good sweat a couple times throughout the day. I'm on the second floor so I think the jump rope sometimes bothers the group working below us, but I do keep the music turned down pretty low when i'm doing my aerobics.
hope this is helpful to you.

I don't stay active at work. I pretty much sit at a computer for 8 hours. But I workout in the mornings and will sometimes go for a run in teh evenings to try to balance it out.

Stair runs every hour? Don't you smell like a mule by the end of the day?
Posted on 2/18/15 at 12:33 pm to Sev09
take the stairs, go walk around every hour. bust arse on weekends and after work to make up for being at a desk all day.
