Sitting
for a long time is a part of the job of being a Health Unit Coordinator. There
are some things that you can do to personally keep your body moving.
Leave the floor. I’ll usually go to the cafeteria daily, to not
only grab something to eat but to also to just move my legs. I usually walk
down the stairs from the 3rd floor to the basement, and then to the other side
of the building.
Get up and go gossip. I don’t sit on the company’s telephone and
gossip with other coworkers. I’ll get up and go where they are and catch up on
what’s going on in their life and at work.
Just move. There are times where I will grab my Bluetooth, cell phone, and
head outside and walk around the building (or walk to the parking garage) and
just listen to music or a podcast. The fresh air and a quick sprint are all
that is needed to get the blood pumping.
