How to Stay Fit While Working at a Desk
The average office worker sits for 10+ hours per day, and the health consequences are serious — back pain, poor posture, weight gain, and increased risk of chronic disease. The good news is that small, consistent movement throughout the day can counteract most of these effects.

Use an under-desk pedaler during calls and low-focus tasks
Stretch your hip flexors — they tighten dramatically from prolonged sitting
