4 Tips To Stay Active
However, maybe full exercise schedules aren’t really your thing, but you still want to get rid of that languid feeling you get when sitting behind your laptop all day? For you, we also have some tips that might help you out.
1) Take short active breaks during the day. It can be difficult sometimes when there is a high workload. You end up working on school activities all day. However, if you want to work as effective as possible these breaks will do you good. Especially when during these breaks you go for a walk around the house, clean your room, or do something else that involves physical activity.
2) Stand up. Reduce your sedentary time by standing up whenever possible. Ideally this would be every 30 minutes. Too busy to do that? Maybe you can grab a stag of books and work on assignments while standing.
3) Relax. If you want to stay physically active, your mind needs to be too. Meditation and deep breaths can help you remain calm and focused. An example of a simple exercise could be taking deep breaths for 1 minute. Or if you rather do meditation you use free apps such as Headspace. These exercises can take up 3 to 10 minutes of your day. You could do it in the morning, so you start your workday with a relaxed mind or maybe in between assignments to clear your head and get rid of stress.
4) Stay healthy and hydrated. We all know that saying “stay hydrated.” Well believe it or not, it is super important. Try to drink 2 litres of water a day and make sure to include fruits and vegetables in your meals. Limit the intake of salt, sugar and fat. It will give you that extra boost to get through the day and nail all those assignments you need to deliver!
