    simple but effective: squeeze your buns several times an hour while you're sitting at your desk

    Alas, I am stuck behind a desk all day as well. u_u

    But I do get to walk for around 40 minutes on my lunch and I can even get a second walk in some days (when I'm feeling sassy) for 20 minutes or so later on in the day (my boss isn't very strict about lunch time and breaks). I also get up a lot to get water, snacks and go to the bathroom (because of all the water). So I'm on my feet a lot more than people expect. :P

    I've totally been doing leg lifts and stretches at my desk and thanks to whoever gave that little trick of sitting on my feet and trying to move my chair in a circle. That was fun. And many many trips to the copier, fax and water cooler. My productivity may be down, but I consider it a good day!

    I've been taking 7-10 min walks around the building midmorning and midafternoon and I actually think my productivity has gone up. The exercise refocuses me and I think I accomplish more because of it. My mind doesn't wander at my desk as much as it use to.

    Depending on how far you live from the office cylcling to / from work is a good one.

    I do it when the weather is good and it's great, I live about 3 miles from work. Plus, itt gets the blood pumping before you get in work and gives you the opportunity to forget about work during the cycling home.
