Getting fit at work!

With the arrival of a pair of fit-flops to the Punch office, earning a living and getting fit has become synonymous this week. Fit-flops are currently one of the UK’s biggest trends and “all over Cornwall!” Pete informs us.
The fit-flops work using ‘wobbleboard’ technology. This makes it more difficult for the body to balance itself when moving and therefore increases the use of muscles in the feet and legs, toning up the legs and bottom. So by wearing the fit-flops I’m exercising by simply doing what I normally do.
My pair is red and white, although from looking at the Fitness Footwear website I can see there is a variety of colours and styles available. I haven’t yet worn the fit-flops outside the office – I blame vanity, maybe if I had a silver pair it would be different - but I have endeavored to put the fit-flops on the second I arrive at work in the morning and remove them last thing before the end of the day. Now all I need to optimise my daily workout is to find more reasons to move around the office. Perhaps I’ll take on the job of hoovering!
