Day 11: Trash Can Basketball

Posted by AccountingWEB on Jan 18 2012 713 printer friendly

When you're stressed out and tired, yet you know you have to keep working, taking a "play" break can be the best way to revive your body and your mind. Trash can basketball is a fun office favorite – you certainly won't feel like you're exercising!

Step 1: Sit or stand a reasonable distance from your trash can – you don't want to make it too easy.

Step 2: Wad up some paper or bring a Nerf ball to the office and start shooting!

Come up with your own trick shots or play against a coworker.
