Take lunch outside
Order lunch from somewhere near your office, then walk over to pick it up. Even if you’ve packed lunch from home, you can take it to a nearby park or other outdoor space to soak in some sunlight and get in the extra steps. Take a brisk walk before heading back inside to give your metabolism a helpful boost.

If your office has standing desks available, try to snag one for yourself. Many of these are convertible so that you can sit and then stand intermittently. Using a standing desk often encourages people to move more in other ways throughout the day – but don’t overdo it. “Too much of anything can be detrimental. There is a consensus in my field that people should try a standing desk for two to four hours a day.
