Move-it: The workplace resolution that benefits everyone in 2025

Sitting too much during the workday is a significant health risk, contributing to issues like heart disease, back pain, and metabolic disorders. Research shows that workers who incorporate movement throughout their day can reduce these risks by up to 27%. Additionally, children mirror adult habits, making it essential for workplaces to model healthier behaviors. Movement is key—not just exercise outside work, but intermittent activity throughout the day. Encouraging diverse movements like stretching, strength exercises, and balance activities can enhance physical and mental health, boost productivity, and prevent injuries. To kickstart a culture of movement, workplaces can participate in the free January 'Move It' trial, offering simple, effective activity guides and training for workplace champions.
