Health How to be active when you work in an office ?

I workout every morning 7 days a week but on a 4 day cycle. Day 1 is heavy lifting, 2 is lighter legs, 3 is hard cardio, 4 is lighter upper body. Always warm up 10 min cardio, abs on hard cardio day.
At work I have a standing desk, walk around block 3 times during the day. Lunch is usually a walk away.
I try to do parkour or something similar after work if I’m up for it

Yeah was going to suggest if you can convert your office from a sit down to a stand-up desk that would be ideal. Show a few studies to your boss of how it will increase your productivity and ask if you can do a week trial to see "how it goes".

I'm an office man too. Sitting and printing on my PC all day long 5 days a week. However, it does not stop me from doing sports after my working day. I personally prefer to do cardio workouts outdoors. In winter period especially. I just run and then make bodyweight training. After that, I like to take a contrast shower. That's ut. That is my recipe for some but regular activity!

Just do some calisthenics every hour or so.
Something like the following:
-15 pushups
-15 sit ups
-15 air squats
-15 jumping jacks
-15 air squats or lunges
I also have some dumbbells in my office, and every now and then I'll bust out some reps (30 curls and 30 tricep extensions).
It helps a lot. Getting the blood flowing feels great, and it's good for you. Plus it improves your focus and work quality.
