Follow these methods to keep yourself fit in a sitting job-
Start your day well-
If you have a sitting job and your whole day ends as soon as you enter the office, then take some time for yourself in the morning. It is not necessary to go to the gym at this time to stay fit. You can use this time to walk, play badminton with family or do yoga. Try to include at least one such activity in your daily routine in which you can remain physically involved.
It is important to stay hydrated-

If you have to remain glued to a chair for hours due to work, then make a rule to get up for one minute every hour and walk ten steps.
Do the exercise while sitting on a chair-
Those who stick to their chairs for hours can make their office chair their gym. For this, straighten your back and slowly lift your legs forward. Do this in 3 sets of 10 each.
Do stretching-
