Tips for Works

1. Stop every hour or two to walk and stretch.
2. Devote a portion of your lunch break to physical activity (e.g., walking).
3. Collect data on dollars spent and days of work lost due to illness related to overweight and/or sedentary lifestyles:

• diabetes
• hypertension
• cardiovascular disease
• stroke
• breast cancer
• and others

Encourage your employer to install facilities and provide incentives to support physical activity.
4. Walk to a co-worker's desk rather than using the intercom.
