Working in an corporate workplace can mean many hours at a desk, the exact opposite of healthy work. When I worked at MEDHOST, I joined the technical teams in daily “Planks & Pushups”. It was an organic activity started in the aisle of the “Data Team’s” row of cubes. For a few timed minutes each day, we stopped what we were doing, gathered in the aisle and did alternating planks and pushups. Feet in your cube, head in the aisle. I broke up the monotony, gave us a break from screens and created a friendly atmosphere. Oh yea and we got our heart rates up, firmed up some muscle and it sure didn’t hurt my diabetes. But I think the healthy camaraderie was more important and that kept us coming back. Healthy work was just a side effect!
