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 hotdog
outdoor during lunch. For many it also means no change for any form of
exercise. Wrong!
You can have an office workout. Here is how:
·
Change your telephone instrument with one who
has a speaker function (many cell phones also have this facility). Use this
function when busy with a call and use the few minutes to walk up and down in
the office.
·
Do a few push-ups every hour off the edge of
your desk.
·
What about some static squats, in which you
hover over the seat of your chair, every 20 minutes.
·
Do some leg stretches every 30 minutes to get
the blood flowing.
·
Do calf raises while standing in in the office
for a few minutes.
·
Use some heavy objects of the office, for
instance, a door stop or heavy duty stapler to do biceps curls, triceps
extensions, and shoulder raises and presses, all while sitting in your chair.
·
Take the stairs instead of the elevator, walk
instead of driving whenever possible, etc. Any bit of activity you work into
your daily routine can only help.
·
If there is a gym at work, force yourself to go
there during the lunch hour, even if it is only for 15 minutes.
Keep your fitness goals in mind, and even if you can only
manage a few 30-minute sessions a week, keep at it.
