Comments (0)

Being in a chair all day does has its disadvantages when it comes to being healthy and fit. In the last few decades how humans live has changed dramatically. We spend most of your lives in cubicles working away on the computer You have a lot of things working against you, but there is hope. There are simple yet effective workouts that you can do to benefit you. Some of these exercises can be done right from your cubicle and other people around you will not even realize you are doing a workout.

Here are some office exercises for you:

1. The Bun and Thigh Squeezer

Plant your feet tightly into the floor and give your thighs and legs and good squeeze, and hold it there. Tightening your muscles like that will not only help you tone up that part of the body, no one else around you will notice either.

2. The Abdominal Crunch

While working on your computer, take a deep breath and then give your abdominals a good squeeze and hold it there. Tightening up your abdominal muscles works the same way as the bun and thigh workout I mentioned earlier. Squeezing your muscles tightly that way will give yourself a burn that you normally would not if you just sat in a chair all day.

3. The Desk Press

Lean over your desk and press firmly on the table. Then hold that position and feel your arms tense and work. These works out your chest and arms. It is kind of like a push that is not going anywhere, but your muscles are working and you are getting a burn.

4. The Arm Chair Press

Place your hands on your arm chair and firmly press on it. You will feel your triceps burning while you hold that position. You may feel like getting up, but the purpose of this exercise is holding yourself in that position.

5. The Abdominal Challenge

This is a more advanced move, but if you are up for it give it a try

Have a sturdy chair and push yourself up, holding yourself in mid-air. While you are in the air have your knees touch your chest as closely as possible, curling yourself up in a ball. You will feel your entire body working out, your arms, abs, and legs altogether. Be sure your upper body strength is at a level where you can do an exercise like this.
