Have you been experiencing more aches and pains since you started working from home? While you may typically think pain occurs from some type of strenuous activity, your sedentary desk job may well be the reason for it.

Many of you may find yourselves spending increasingly more time in front of a computer screen at your desks. Where you previously managed to get some physical activity from your daily commutes, working from home has lessened physical activity.

You may find yourself living more sedentary lives now that you are working from home full time. As commuting is no longer necessary for many, your daily steps may have drastically reduced and it is more important than ever to engage in physical activity. Exercising boosts the immune system and contributes to mental health which can increase productivity both at work and at home.
