Sitting still in the office all day can easily lead to weight gain. According to a survey, 50% of office ladies gain weight after starting work, with 28% gaining nearly 10 pounds. So how can office ladies effectively control obesity and lose weight? Today, the editors at Aimei.com will give you some popular office-friendly weight loss methods to help you stay slim this summer.
Lately, sitting in front of the computer for long periods has left me feeling a bit creatively drained. I've been racking my brains, trying to come up with any fresh and interesting topics about weight loss that could really lift my spirits. Then a colleague (the legendary H) walked by with a full pot of black tea, and I suddenly realized that the office was a vibrant place. The office's characteristics are: health is the core principle (my mug's motto is "Health First"), happiness is a necessity (the office is always filled with a cheerful atmosphere), and continuous learning is essential for progress (everyone maintains a positive attitude, learning and practicing healthy weight loss methods).
1. Frequent changes in work posture
In a recent article I read, Dr. James Levine, a professor at the Mayo Clinic in the United States, said, "We now burn an average of 1,500 fewer calories per day than people did 150 years ago. That translates to an extra 10 pounds per year." No wonder modern people are more prone to weight gain.
To combat the lack of calorie expenditure in the office, H's method is to constantly change his working posture. Every now and then, he'll stand for a while looking at the computer, then kneel (if the floor is hard, it's best to put a mat underneath) while working. These small changes help burn a little more calories and prevent excessive weight gain in the lower body. I don't know when it started, but I often see H leading a few colleagues in the office, kneeling while typing on their computers. Of course, we're not a cult; we believe in "Believing in H, you'll get slim!" Haha!
