How to stop your office job from ruining your body

In “How to stop your office job from ruining your body”, Nine examines the health risks associated with prolonged sitting and sedentary office work. Ricardo Riskalla, celebrity trainer and founder of RawFit, provides expert commentary on how long hours seated at a desk can weaken muscles, impact posture, reduce cardiovascular health, and contribute to weight gain. He emphasises that sedentary behaviour affects the entire body, from the neck and hips to psychological attitudes toward exercise.

To counteract these effects, Ricardo recommends incorporating regular movement throughout the day, practising mindful habits such as meditation or deep breathing, and combining daily aerobic exercise with strength training. His advice focuses on practical, sustainable strategies for office workers to maintain health without drastic lifestyle changes.
