How to remain slender working in office

Office workers quite often complain, that feel like hens in a couveuse. Scientists inform, that him would be much better - physically and mentally - to feel like hamsters.
The obesity is a scourge of those who sits at a desk. The answer as the American experiment testifies, is those: when your fingers run on the keyboard, burning a minimum quantity of energy, your legs should run on a training path.
As though work in itself not a training path! Nevertheless, scientists have developed a mobile workplace. A table named a vertical workstation, it is possible to put on a wheel which the worker can rotate, assimilating to the seamstress with the old-fashioned sewing machine or imitating a fluffy rodent in a cell.
Table have tested on 14 women and one to man which suffer an obesity, in Clinic Majo, a medical centre of science in Minnesota. The results published in The British Journal of Sports Medicine, have shown: tested "hamsters" have dumped up to two kgs for a year.
Sitting at a table and poke in the keyboard, you burn no more than 72 calories at one o'clock, scientists have established. But, moving a table on a wheel on a training path, the worker passes the distance equivalent to one mile at o'clock, burning 191 calorie. Average at sitting has made augmentations of the charge at walking in group of 119 calories at one o'clock.
Scientists have designed a tubular steel table in the form of letter H. From below four locked rubber wheels have been attached, allowing to move on office racetrack. On one mobile board sideways there is a monitor, and on another - the keyboard and a mousy. According to designers, on a table there is a place for a vase, cups, a glass with pens and a tray for papers.
About the same result it is possible to achieve if to force employees to adhere notebooks to rudders of bicycles and to work on road to office. A minus one - potential body height of road and transport incidents.
That scientists have thought up such device, means nothing for Americans who bind that they eat, with that, how many they weigh.
Authors of work draw such conclusion: if time of sitting behind a computer to replace with work during walking, the power consumption can be increased by 100 kcals at one o'clock.
They assert, that if the workers, suffering an obesity, went, instead of two - three hours per day sat before the computers, and "if other components of energy and balance were constants", there would be an appreciable loss of weight.
Scientists assert also, that tables are popular at volunteers. "The vertical workstation and walking are well transferred to a training path all examinees, there were no traumas, falling and instabilities", - is spoken in the report.
There has not come yet that day, at least in Britain when at each office there will be a training path and employees, burning energy, will be daily hour or two she to use. But the huge potential is already looked through: if all office pathes to connect with a national power supply system, thick clerks can shine city in size with Rochdale.
But to deceive always it is possible. Who does not know the colleague on office which for certain will get on a path with cheeks bags, complete nuts?
Fulfil it


  • Stand during meetings.

  • Use a ladder, instead of the lift.

  • Do not send colleagues of the letter by e-mail - go and see them.

  • Be wrung out at the copier.

  • Use packs of a paper on 500 sheets of format A4 as dumbbells.

  • Serially lift legs, speaking.

  • In a lunch break go on walk, instead of to a pub.

  • On a regular basis alternate circulation by standing.

  • Blink time in five seconds; the monitor can force to look you not nictating.
