Like many people today in the world, I will work from home today and would like to share with you my 5 top tips to stay active. Note those are just based on my personal experience and I would be keen to know yours.

As you might guess, staying at home and not moving (to go to the office or even during the day for in person meetings) can feel be lonely and depressing. However, even if you interact and move less while you work from home, it is key you move.

• Tip # 1: Wake up earlier than usual when you go to the office and do exercise (go out for running or to the pool) is the best. That way when you are back home in the morning to start your day, you will feel fresher and up for a great productive day
• Tip #2: Move from your desk every 2 hours and go around the around or take the post, go to do your laundry (don’t take the lift, take the stairs)
  
  
• Tip #3: Keep a good posture for your back and if you want to massage your feet (after a long run) use a tennis ball and roll into it where it feels a bit of pain
  
  
• Tip#4: Set your calendar with sport appointment (either during lunch or at the end of the day) and stick to it. Don’t find excuses. There will be always email coming up and generally those received at the end of the day can wait for the next morning. If it is really urgent, people will call you
  
  
• Tip#5: If you have a home gym equipment (bike, treadmill), use it ! If you don’t, no problem, do series of 20 push ups every 2h (during your breaks)
