We have all the facilities here including a gym. I spend most of the time at office so I don’t have time to spend in other activities after office hours. So I have planned to make use of my time at my office itself to improve my health too. If I am using our fitness club, then when should I use it before work or after or maybe during lunchtime? A. Hi Johnson, It’s best that you warm up a little bit before work and after work. You can also use the treadmill and the wave-runner bag for kickboxing that will help you to tone up. Wait till 6pm and then work out using all the amenities that suit your body. Do not overstrain or overdo any of the exercises. It’s good if you do some stretching exercises to warm up and after a workout to relax your muscles.
