[Key Points]: How do office workers lose weight? The following 8 practical ways for office workers to lose weight will help you work and lose weight at the same time.

If you are an office worker who sits in the office for a long time, you must be worried about gaining weight, but you don’t have time to exercise. How can you lose weight? The following 8 practical tips for office workers to lose weight will help you lose weight while working!

1. Take the stairs instead of the elevator

Climbing stairs can exercise the legs and buttocks, lift the buttocks and slim the legs. If your company is not on a very high floor, instead of spending time waiting for the elevator, it is better to change your route and take the stairs.

2. Get up and walk more

Sitting for long periods of time is an important cause of obesity among office workers. To avoid obesity, you should get up and walk around, get a glass of water, or go to the bathroom every 40 to 60 minutes after sitting. When you go to the bathroom to wash your hands, stand on tiptoe while washing your hands, which can effectively slim your legs.

3. Sit two-thirds of the way up the chair

When sitting down, your entire buttocks is on the chair, which puts more pressure on the buttocks and thighs, causing lymphatic obstruction and affecting blood circulation. The correct sitting posture should be to sit only two-thirds of the chair, with your legs placed naturally, without crossing your legs, to avoid fat buttocks and elephant legs in the office.

4. Keep some low-calorie snacks ready at the office

Working consumes your mental and physical energy, making you more likely to feel hungry. Eat some snacks or drink some water before meals to increase your sense of fullness and avoid overeating during meals. Therefore, you can bring some low-calorie snacks, such as whole-wheat fiber biscuits, fruits, yogurt, etc. to eat when you are hungry.

5. Bring your own food if possible

Most office workers eat out, but the food they eat out contains a lot of salt and oil, and the combination of dishes is not healthy enough. To control the calorie and nutritional intake, it is best to do it yourself.

6. Make sure there is water in the cup

Drinking water can help metabolism, detoxification, relieve constipation and help lose weight. When you are working, you need to put the water cup where you can see it. When you want to eat something, just pick up the cup and drink a sip of water. This will naturally form the habit of drinking more water.

7. Work out in the morning or afternoon

Most companies start work at 9 o'clock in the morning, so office workers who want to exercise might as well choose to do morning exercises before 9 o'clock. Exercise in the early morning can help refresh the mind and help the brain function. In addition, you can consider going to the gym during your lunch break, sweating it out and then taking a shower, so that you can be more energetic for work in the afternoon.

8. Do some exercise during work breaks

Many people complain that they don’t have time to exercise at work. This is because they don’t know how to use the fragmented time at work to do some small exercise. During your free time at work, you can sit on a chair and do simple exercises.

Specific movements: Sit in the two-thirds position of the chair, keep your legs together and placed naturally, put your left hand on the back of the chair, put your right hand on the left edge of the chair, twist your waist to the left, and keep your lower body still. This movement is very effective in eliminating fat around the waist.
