Tips to remember when you stand:

1. Always stand with your body weight equally distributed between your legs.When one leg carries more weight, our necks and backs curve and in the long run this position may cause injury.

2. Avoid standing for a long period of time with your feet on different levels.Standing with one foot on a step for a long period, causes the neck and shoulders to curve.

3. Stand with your legs slightly apart for better balance.In this position the body weight is more evenly spread and less effort is required to maintain the position.

4. Stand facing the work surface.Never work at the corner of a bench because it is difficult to get close to the job you have to do, causing you to bend forward, placing increased strain on the lower back.

5. Wear comfortable, well-fitting shoes, with good foot support, suitable for the job that you have to do.For example, wear boots with good grip when you work in a wet environment, e.g. cold storage areas – and well-fitting, undamaged safety boots when you work on a construction site. Give attention to how you put on your shoes – instead of bending down to the floor; rather kneel on one knee to maintain a good posture. Take good care of your shoes and repair or replace them when they are damaged.

6. Stand on a cushioned surface if possible.

7. Elevate or incline the work surface for precision work.

8. Keep work up at a comfortable level.

9. Change positions frequently.

10. Vary your activities regularly.

People with a BMI of 20 t0 25 are not advised by doctor by doctors to lose weight, although they can benefit from a healthy balanced diet and regular exercise. Those who are overweight but not obese (BMI 25-30) are encouraged to make sensible dietary choices and exercise regularly in order to prevent any futher weight gain.

Exercise is crucial to sustained weight loss, as dieting alone only works temporarily until the body recognizes its new intake and adjust accordingly-resisting further weight loss. Crash diets or fad diets are not recommended, and while meal replacements may result in weight loss, they do not address the problem of poor dietary habits in the long term. It can be difficult to maintain weight loss when the products are no longer used. Furthermore, they lack bulk and can therefore cause constipation.

The major mistake of all those who do exercise regularly is that, when they are not able to do exercise due to some reason or the other, they fail to correspondingly reduce the amount of food intake. For example, the schoolgirls are actively involved in exercise and play at school. As soon as they came out of the school, their participation in games and sports become nothing . But they don’t control their intake food. Hence they become flabby andover weight. In the same manner, many active people do not control their diet when they are inactive due to some reason or thr other. If this regimen of exercises and food are followed very strictly, the problem of overeating, low eating and over and under weight will be eradicated.
