6 steps to losing weight at work [PHOTOS]

The Health Promotion Board (HPB) has announced Singaporeans must aim to collectively lose one million kilograms by 2016.

According to a tender document posted on a government website, the HPB is launching the “One Million Kg Challenge” later this year, The Sunday Times reported.

Poor food choices as well as more Singaporeans having jobs where they sit most of the day were cited as reasons behind the country's weight gain. 
So, in order to help you begin to trim the fat, we’ve rounded up some helpful ways you can burn calories at your desk and around the office.
