Tip of the Day: 16:05.2022

Many of us are still working from home, and it can take its toll on our 'incidental' activity – it now has to be deliberate, rather than just walking to, from and around the office. Break up the endless sitting with three minutes of walking every 30 minutes, which has been found to leave people feeling less sluggish and more energised at the end of the day, in a trial by Australian and Swedish researchers that was published in the British Medical Journal. When the weather is inclement, Jo does what she calls 'cage-pacing', like those poor caged animals in the zoo, literally walking from one corner of the floor she's on to the opposite, going in and out of rooms. Definitely helps to beat a slump!
