To combat sedentary lifestyles at work, and whenever possible, you can start by walking or cycling to work every day. Before settling down at your desk, you can also do 5 to 10 minutes of stretching, focusing on your shoulders and pelvis. Think about standing up during a telephone conversation or videoconference meeting. Finally, try to get up and move for 2 to 3 minutes every hour, or 15 minutes every half-day during a break, for example.
