Tips for an office workout


Many people are trapped in an office from 9 to 5 every day.There is not even time to break for the official cup of tea or for the hotdogoutdoor during lunch. For many it also means no change for any form ofexercise. Wrong!

You can have an office workout. Here is how:

·        Change your telephone instrument with one whohas a speaker function (many cell phones also have this facility). Use thisfunction when busy with a call and use the few minutes to walk up and down inthe office.
·        Do a few push-ups every hour off the edge ofyour desk.
·        What about some static squats, in which youhover over the seat of your chair, every 20 minutes.
·        Do some leg stretches every 30 minutes to getthe blood flowing.
·        Do calf raises while standing in in the officefor a few minutes.
·        Use some heavy objects of the office, forinstance, a door stop or heavy duty stapler to do biceps curls, tricepsextensions, and shoulder raises and presses, all while sitting in your chair.
·        Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walkinstead of driving whenever possible, etc. Any bit of activity you work intoyour daily routine can only help.
·        If there is a gym at work, force yourself to gothere during the lunch hour, even if it is only for 15 minutes.

Keep your fitness goals in mind, and even if you can onlymanage a few 30-minute sessions a week, keep at it.
