  Homeworkers from Sutton Coldfield are being encouraged by experts to go on a 'fake commute' each day in order to improve their leg and vein health (March, 2025).


The article from MSN discusses the health implications of working from home, particularly focusing on the lack of physical activity that typically comes from commuting. Experts suggest that homeworkers should incorporate a "fake commute" into their daily routine to mitigate the negative effects on leg health. This involves activities like walking or cycling before starting work and after finishing, mimicking the physical exertion of a traditional commute. Such practices are recommended to improve circulation, reduce the risk of blood clots, and maintain overall leg health, which can deteriorate from prolonged sitting. The article highlights that without these movements, homeworkers are at a higher risk for various health issues, including deep vein thrombosis, due to sedentary behavior.
