1. Do not remain in a prolonged stationary position (standing or sitting).
2. Set a cell phone alarm every 20 minutes to move.
3. Stand and walk during phone calls.
4. Have walking meetings.
5. Use a standing desk and alternate between standing, half sitting (on a high stool), and sitting (regular chair).
6. March in place (seated or standing).
7. Purposely park further away from your building to walk more.
8. On a couch or recliner- perform squats or marching during program breaks.
9. If unable to stand (in a meeting or on a plane) march in place, or rotate your legs back and forth.
10. Use steps or stairs instead of elevators or escalators.
11. Walk during lunch hour.
12. Buy a dog to take for a walk regularly.
