Health in the Corporate Work place

A lot of recent companies have started offering gyms at there facility to promote health in the work place.  Some of these companies are Google, Verizon, Chesapeake, Hertz...just to name a few.  Having a gym at the place offers a great opportunity to blow off steam and relieve some stress on breaks or even at lunch.  For all those other businesses that do not offer or cannot afford this luxury there is good news.  There are a ton of different exercises that you can do at home or at work that need no equipment. 
Here is a quick list of some exercises that you can do at home/work that do not involve any equipment:
  1. Jogging
  2. Side Shuffle
  3. Mountain Climbers
  4. Burpees
  5. Toe-Taps
  6. Jumping Jacks
  7. Squats
  8. Lunges/Plyo-Lunges
  9. Donkey Kicks
  10. Speed skaters
  11. High Knees
  12. Planks/Side planks/in and out planks
  13. Bottom kicks
  14. side to side jumps
This list of exercises could go on and on.  The fact about most people in regards to work and health is that once work is over people go home and sit.  A good way to fix this lazy attitude is before you go home a pig out on some chips and carb rich foods...go exercise.  Go to the gym before you even get home or workout before work (to jump start your metabolism). 

Remember that you need to work out at least 30 minutes a day 4 days a week moderately to live healthy.
