According to the 2021 ParticipACTION Report Card on Physical Activity for Adults, only 12% of adults 18 to 79 years of age achieved 8 or fewer hours of sedentary time per day. Sorry folks, but that is an epic fail! If you have a desk job, it might seem impossible to do anything but sit all day to get your work done. But even just a few minutes of workday exercises every 30 to 60 minutes can have a positive effect on your health.
‘Deskercise’ is a relatively new term that refers to workday exercises that can be done throughout your workday and even at your desk. Studies have shown that deskercise can really work to help relieve stress, boost energy, increase flexibility and range of motion, as well as improve overall productivity.
