Too much sitting carries several health risks, such as increased risk of obesity, type 2 diabetes, and back, shoulder, and neck pain

Five tips if you sit at a desk all day

Check your posture: Ensure that your feet are flat on the ground (do not sit with your knees crossed), your shoulders are relaxed, and your back is properly supported.

Take regular mini-breaks: Every 30 minutes, stand up, stretch your upper body, flex your feet, or walk around the room for a bit.

Use smart equipment: Try working at a convertible desk so that you can alternate between sitting and standing throughout the day. Place a footrest under your desk, choose an ergonomic office chair, and adjust it to fit your body.

Have walking meetings. Instead of sitting down in a conference room, take a walk together.

Schedule your exercise. Just like your meetings, schedule workouts throughout your day – perhaps a morning walk to the office, a spinning class during your lunch break, or decide to take the stairs instead of the elevator.
