If you're a secretary, waiters, nurses, lawyers, policemen, teachers or workers, then you are prone to gaining weight, according to a recent study by the American Council on Exercise (ACE). The researchers examined on-the-job physical activity for ten most common occupations.
Most people are not aware of their time moving at a normal day. ACE researchers wanted to encourage them to move more.
All participants were assigned a basic pedometerhad to wear during work hours for three consecutive days. The subjects went to work as usual. They were asked to record a daily log of the total synthesis was the distance, number of steps and a summary of the duties they performed that day.
Secretaries, policemen, teachers and lawyers, fewer steps and less distance from other work. Secretaries, it was found that on average only 1.7 miles a day walking. Postini and custodians earned more every dayMileage. Postman held first place in the list of almost 8 km, almost double the minimum recommendation of Shape Up America.
Physical activity at work varies considerably occupations, the study found.
For typical office workers, to bring small changes in lifestyle can lead to increased physical activity. Take a walk at lunch, the stairs instead of the elevator, walking instead of the course with a car, as well as small jobs such as providingDocuments or messages to someone in person, rather than someone else or by e-mail or phone, can really help.
