HOW TO MOVE MORE IN MEETINGS (WITHOUT FEELING AWKWARD)

Even if you can’t stand up and walk around the room, there are a few things you can do to be more active during meetings—without disrupting others.

1. Stretch your neck Simple stretches can help you feel more energized without causing a big distraction. 2. Squeeze those glutes Squeeze for 5 seconds, then release for 2 seconds. Repeat until muscles in your rear end are tired or the meeting has concluded. 3. Walk it out Leading the meeting? Have attendees stand up and walk around the table clockwise and counter clockwise for 1 minute each 4. Tap your toes Quietly tap your toes on the ground, alternating feet. These movements will engage your shins and calves. 5. Lift your heels Sit up in your chair and pull your abs in, keeping your toes on the floor, slowly lift your right heel and tighten your calf muscle. Release your heel back to the floor, then perform the move with your left heel. Do 15 reps on each side, rest 30 seconds, and repeat. 6. Carve your core Sit up straight in your chair and engage your abs to perform isometric contractions. Without holding your breath, tightly contract your abs and hold for 5 seconds, release and repeat for 5 minutes.
