  • Take the stairs instead of the elevator whenever you can, for at least a floor or two. Once that gets easier, add another floor.
  • Instead of using the breakroom or restroom nearest your workstation, use one farther away, maybe even on another floor – and take the stairs each time you go.
  • Walk to a coworker’s desk or office to talk instead of using email, IM or the phone. The personal interaction is an added bonus!
  • Join or start a recreational sports league at your workplace.
  • Form a walking club or team to walk together at work.
  • Schedule walking meetings for informal discussions and brainstorming. 
  • Get off the bus or train a few blocks early and walk the rest of the way to work or home. If you drive to work, park as far away from the entrance as you can.
  • Walk to a nearby restaurant for lunch instead of driving or ordering in.
