Studies have shown that work meetings are up by 13% and on average, the workday is 48.5 minutes longer than pre-pandemic times. We know sitting down all day is bad for us. Yet while we work from home, we’re spending more time being sedentary.
But there is something simple that you can do to avoid this. Science has proven the benefits of walking so why not inject this exercise into your meetings? Research has found that replacing just one meeting a week with a walking meeting led to increased high-intensity physical activity during the week by 10 minutes.
The practice can have a positive impact on health, and it can also help reduce stress and improve productivity as people become more focused. Distractions are lessened and it can help with Zoom fatigue or burnout. It’s time to walk the walk. Walking meetings are one of the new trends that have emerged out of the pandemic. See some of our ideas* below on how to improve productivity levels and encourage staying active with our branded fitness aids:
