Some people complain of not getting enough time to exercise, due to work pressure and being busy with a professional life, which negatively affects their daily mood and causes health risks.
At the same time, scientific research indicates that some simple movements during work are able to activate the mind and body at the same time.
Finding time to exercise is a difficult challenge for most employees due to work pressure and life commitments. Therefore, Murad Al-Gharairi, a sports medicine specialist, believes in exclusive statements to “Sky News Arabia” that exercise can be applied at the workplace and with simple movements that ensure stimulation of blood circulation and movement of the body, through during:
- Go to work on foot or by bike, or park the car at a distance from the entrance to work.
- Do some light exercises while sitting at your desk.
- Move the legs and arms from time to time.
- Use the stairs instead of the elevator when going up and down.
- Take a short tour of the workplace or its surroundings by walking during the rest period.
Mental and psychological benefits
Al-Gharairi stressed that exercising during the work period has a positive impact on the mental and psychological aspects of people, which would reflect beneficially on their activity at work through the great benefits that sport provides, such as:
- Exercising removes stress and stress, removes negative energy, and helps release the harm that stress causes to the body and mind.
- It helps increase innovation and creativity because sports not only exercise the muscles but also the mind.
- It gives the individual room for meditation and provides an ideal space for gathering ideas.
- It makes the individual adept at collaborative work because colleagues in group exercises always encourage each other to perform better.
Promoting sports culture at work
Al-Gharairi pointed out that the awareness of institutions and businesses of the benefits of exercising has witnessed a remarkable development in recent years by promoting the culture of promoting physical activity because of its great role in preserving the health of individuals and stimulating production. He added that some companies have established many initiatives such as:
- Companies organize in-office fitness classes, such as yoga, once or twice a week, which helps employees make friends, get to know each other better, and regain their energy and activity.
- Provide walking exercises during the lunch break or jogging activities for employees with innovative ideas.
- Hold meetings while walking or while standing, as this method is a healthy alternative to sitting in a meeting room.
