More ways to include sports activities in the workplace

Create a no-internal-phone day. Although office managers cannot do much about the need to use computers, they can stop workers from relying on other technologies that keep them strapped to their chairs. Employers can choose one day a week when workers don't use their phones to talk to staff in nearby departments — within reason — so they get up and speak with colleagues at their desks.

Step counter challenges. One easy and fun way to get the whole office involved and more active is to introduce step counter challenges. Many offices run this in-house challenge to find out who is the most active — you could even offer a prize for the winner, such as an extended lunch break or an extra day off.
