Some women spend a lot of time commuting to and fro from work. In addition, they even have to cook the family dinner, while some others have to look into their children’s studies too. These women can perform short bouts of exercise at work. Research has shown that this too helps.
You could begin by walking to the station instead of taking an auto or cab. You can use the stairs instead of the lift. Use the short tea and coffee break at work to do a quick up and down the stairs instead of chatting with your colleagues.
At work, walk up to a colleague if you need to, rather than emailing or whatsapping. Try to get up from your seat and be mobile whenever you get an opportunity. Avoid sitting in your seat for long stretches. If that’s not possible, at least move around in your chair, get fidgety, turn around, and stretch your legs and hands. Try to do a few simple stretches. It’s also important to maintain a good posture. Sit up straight.
If you have access to a gym at your workplace, you can use it instead of taking tea or coffee breaks. You can also spend the first 10 minutes of the lunch break doing a quick burst of activity. Whatever you do, make sure to warm up before your workout and cool down after you finish.
Planning on picking up the pace
tomorrow? Eat food that will help keep you going strong. For breakfast,
opt for a high-carbohydrate meal—one similar to what you'll be eating
on race day, so you can find out what foods digest best (for you!). Try a
whole-grain English muffin or a bagel with peanut butter or a low-fat
cream cheese. Then, have a well-rounded meal post-workout to help with
recovery. Andrew Kastor's favorite? One to two slices French toast with a
side of fruit. "The protein-to-carbohydrate ratio is perfect for
enhancing my recovery," he says. We like that it's super-yummy, too.
