  • Take your dog for a walk. If you don't have one, consider getting one.

  • Do not sit at a place for long hours. Break between prolong hours of work or while seeing TV. Walk to neighbor's house or to coworker's desks. While talking on the phone for long periods try not to sit, pace around. Its good to have a cordless phone and keep moving around while talking.
