Office workers try to keep healthy

Faced with a busy work schedule, office workers don��t have much time to
do exercise. In order to keep themselves healthy, some office workers now
go to office on foot, climb stairs in offices instead of taking a lift,
and go to gyms to take exercises in off hours, Market News reported.

For a long time, many office workers have overworked and spend little
time taking rest or doing exercise. Some recent surveys show that the
health conditions of many white collar employees and office workers are
rather critical. Death cases among white collar employees and office
workers are increasing year by year and these cases are generally
believed to have been caused by overwork.

If their offices are within the distance of half an hour��s walk, some
office workers now choose to go to work on foot. Ms. Deng, who works in a
foreign enterprise in Beijing, has been walking to her office for more
than six months now.

��I usually have a tight work schedule and can��t find time to do
exercise. So I choose to walk to work.��

As she said, if the office is not far from home, most women would like to
go to work on foot. Walking is good for their health and can help them to
keep good figures as well.

Apart from walking to office, one can also find time to do exercise when
one is at work. The simplest way is to abandon the lift. Mr. Wei, who
works in the Passenger Service Department at Shenzhen Airlines, is one of
such men who frequently climb stairs to his office.

��I only use the lift whenever I��m with my colleagues or my boss.
Otherwise, I would climb stairs instead of taking the lift.��

In addition, some office workers try to find time to go to a gym at the
end of a day. Ms. Sang works in a law firm in Shenzhen. She goes to the
gym several times a week when she has the time.

��I go to the gym every weekend. During the weekdays, I will also go
there whenever I have the time. ��

Ms. Sang and her husband both have a gym membership card for a whole
year. The cards cost them 3,000 yuan. However, they think it��s worth it.
