1. GET THOSE STEPS IN!
With a work role requiring you to be seated for most of the day, it can be difficult to reach even a minimum number of daily steps.
This means you are on the back foot in terms of calorie expenditure for the day.
To make up the difference in burned calories you’ll need to eat less throughout the day or burn more calories at the gym!
So, make sure you monitor your steps and aim for 10k. Get a couple hundred in every hour, have meetings or lunch walking, walk to and from walk or even invest in a standing desk to keep you on your feet!
2. PREP YOUR MEALS!
When it comes to meal prep, the bottom line is… it’s cheap, time efficient, healthy and keeps you on track with your goals as you know exactly what you are eating!
Eating out on a regular basis is one way to ruin the bank account and pull you off track for your goals (a nightmare if you track calories).
A well-planned meal prep should leave you satisfied enough to avoid hunger and running to the vending machine!
For those who say it takes too much time to meal prep…. next time you cook dinner, cook 3-4 portions instead and box them up! Easy!
3. PLAN WHEN YOU ARE GOING TO TRAIN!
A set schedule for training is vital for staying on track. The majority of desk roles do have the luxury of knowing when they working.
Plan around your hours so you can get the best possible session in.
Before work, lunchtime or afterwork… try them all and see which one gives you the best workout and fits your day the best.
4. GET OUTSIDE!
Daylight exposure is very important for many reasons.
A couple of the main ones being vitamin D and to help serotonin production.
Greater serotonin production in the day, leads to greater melatonin production in the evening, which then leads to a higher quality sleep… and we all know how important sleep is, don’t we!
5. MAKE THE MOST OF YOUR TIME OUTSIDE OF WORK!
If you have a 9-5 job, you still have plenty of time in your day that can be used to help you reach your goals and keep you on track outside of work.
Make sure you plan ahead and create a routine and a schedule you can stick to, while developing positive habits that bring you closer to chosen goal.
