Well, for one thing, being in shape will help you get cope with the stress levels at work. You will feel less tired and be able to complete tasks faster and more efficiently than someone who is not. With some creative thinking there are more than enough ways out there to be in shape while still working at the office. Here are some office exercises that you can use at the workplace: 1. The Arm Circle While sitting in your, stick your arms out straight out to the sides and spin them in little circles forwards and backwards to feel a burn in your arms. 2. The Buttocks and Thigh Toner While working in your cubicle, squeeze your buttocks tightly for about 30 seconds and about 5 times a set while you are working on your computer. The tension that you create with your body will definitely give you a burn. 3. The Shoulder Shrug Simply Lift your shoulders up like you are a turtle and give a good squeeze for about 5 seconds and
release. Repeat 5-10 times for a workout. 4. The Calf Raise While standing up lift yourself up with your calves so you are on your toes. You can do this while talking to a friend or waiting for your food to warm up in the microwave. You can also do this pretty much anywhere, waiting for the bus, waiting for the train, while in the elevator, etc. 5. Skip the Elevator and Escalators When you have the opportunity, use the stairs as much as possible. Take every other step if you have a chance to really work those legs out. 6. The Hand Squeeze Stick your hands out in front of you and give clench your hands into a tight fist, really squeeze those forearms out. Do this office exercise rapidly to give your forearms a burn. You can lift your arms straight up in the air and to the side to change the angle of things. Do this for 30-40 times a set to really work those forearms. 7. The Wall Sit While taking a break, lean against the wall and slide your way down to where you are almost "sitting" against the wall. Make sure you do not pass the 90 degree angle. Hold that position. If necessary, place your hands on your thighs for support. If you are bold, remove you hands and kick one foot out. When you feel tired, scoot yourself back up and take a break before you get into that sitting position again. I hope this opens the possibilities for you to exercise at the office.
