The Epitome of Multi-Tasking
We all know the aggravation that occurs when we have to sit on hold waiting…and waiting…and waiting–just to talk to a real person who will just put us right back on hold. The least the companies could do is have a creative hold message. We spend the whole annoying time thinking of all the things that we could be doing. My mind usually ventures into the “I could be at the gym right now” or “By the time I get off this phone, I could have been half way through my cardio!”. So here are a few exercises/stretches that you can do while on hold. Believe me; they work!
- Stretching: Stretch all your stress away. You can do any type of stretching while on hold. All you have to do is get a headset for your phone or put it on speaker phone.
- Abs: sit-ups, crunches, leg lifts…you name it, you can do it.
- Lunges
- Bicep curls
- Even jump rope!
The list is endless. Just get creative and you will never have to have an unproductive phone call again!
