Office Challenge – March (Is anyone interested?)

giusa

Monthly office challenge will include:
-Number of steps - you determine how to calculate,
-Exercise Challenge - will begin and end with a stretch, an upper body and lower body exercise, twice a day. We’ll start with low reps and progress from there, so add 5 to squat and stretch, and 1 to push-ups daily.
-Check-in daily.

Any suggestions on an exercise that is “office” friendly, as well as office attire friendly, please note for next month’s challenge. It's also a good idea to add a link to the exercise, but haven't gotten that far.

Is anyone interested, or would like to start an office challenge?

I am interested! I spend most of my day sitting. I could use some accountability.

I'm interested as well. I teach, but I need something to keep me going at home, and this would be perfect.

Found a good stretch for people who sit at desks for long period of times, we should try to incorporate this in April's Challenge -Wall Thoracic Extension https://youtube.com/watch?v=VU8BjeHcABs

Sorry to hear that....

Well this is a dud, as little as I did yesterday my knee is telling me to stop! So no more for me until my knee heals, hopefully all of you will try to do something in my absence...
