Nearly half of workers in the Yorkshire and Humber region said working from home increased their exercise, revealing insights on well-being and productivity.
Rebecca Thompson from Hull noted that remote working provided her with "more time to exercise" due to the elimination of her daily commute, allowing for workouts before and during her lunch breaks. Her ability to prepare healthier meals at home, rather than relying on options like "sandwiches and canteen chips," further contributed to her improved diet.
Claire Henderson, a personal trainer, emphasized that flexible working options promote healthier lifestyles, stating that being confined to a traditional desk job "restricts you when it comes to fitness." The time saved from commuting allows individuals to dedicate an hour to exercise, thus enhancing their overall well-being.
Sophie Johnson-Read highlighted that the hybrid working model provides necessary "flexibility" which can enhance productivity. She noted that when people become busy, sports and physical activities tend to be deprioritized, even though they should remain essential parts of life to prevent serious health issues.
