Exercise while you use the computer :)

Flex Under Your Desk
by Marc Santa Maria





Leg Flex Time


Just because they're under a desk all day doesn't mean your legs don't deserve some attention. Try this workout to get sexy, toned legs.

The exercise: While sitting in your chair, extend one leg straight out and hold for 10 seconds activating your quadriceps muscles. For a greater challenge, raise the entire leg a few inches higher. Repeat on other side. Do 5 total sets.



Abs For Sale

Who says you need an ab roller to strengthen your abs? Try this breathing exercise to see your tummy get toned.

The exercise: Sit up straight at your desk, take a deep breath in and then on the exhale, squeeze your belly in and up, making your stomach as flat as possible. Hold your stomach for 30 seconds while maintaining a steady breath. Repeat 2 more times for a stronger core.





HR Squat Hold

We don’t give a squat if our co-workers start staring. This tush-toning move is one of our favorites.

The exercise:Spread your feet slightly wider than your desk chair. Lower your butt down to hover over the seat but do not sit down. Make sure your body weight is in your heels, not your toes. Hold the position to work your lower body for as long as you can for the duration of your next conference call. Be sure to mute the phone since your muscles are sure to be fired up.



Neck Roll(overs)

If you're not having the greatest day, try releasing some tension in your stiff neck with this exercise.

The exercise: Tilt your head to one side, slowly drop your chin down as low as possible and rollover the head to the other side. Hold for 10 seconds. Repeat from side to side for 5 sets.
