How to keep fit at work


We all know that we should be sitting less and moving more. However, how is that possible in our day-to-day business?

Do you workout at your place of work? Or are your worried about what your colleagues and boss would think about you?

Take a look at what workplace exercise can look like. I do like the idea of going to visit your colleagues rather than sending them an email and the idea of holdling walking meetings. However I wouldn’t want to take part in a running meeting. Would you?

A lot of people tell me that they were in the city over the weekend when they often mean the ‘town centre’. Of course, if they visited Cologne or Düsseldorf, then they probably would have also been in the ‘city centre’.

The difference between a town and a city? It’s not that clear, but in general villages are smaller than towns. And towns are smaller than cities. I always believed that cities had to have cathedrals, but that doesn’t seem to be true!

We’re never to old to learn new things, are we?

The phrase ‘in order to’ is rather formal and a bit old-fashioned. It can be shortened by removing the first two words. It’s quite enough to say ‘to’.

Let’s look at some examples:

I worked until 5 to finish the project.
I worked until 5 in order to finish the project.

To finish the job, I had to work longer.
In order to finish the job, I had to work longer.

So easy when you know how, isn’t it?
