I am a huge fan of hers and get her daily tips. This was Monday's.

Denise's Deskercise Tips

Thigh Masters
"To tone up the fronts of your thighs, sit up straight with your feet flat on the floor. Bring one leg out straight in front of you, and without bending your back or dropping your chin, hold up that leg for 5-10 seconds. Lower leg and repeat on other side."

Bottom and Thigh Toner
"Standing up at your desk, raise your leg out behind you. Bend your knee with you heel tilted up toward your buttocks, then lift and lower your leg. Continue to do this for one minute, then switch legs. This will firm your buns and upper thighs."

Tummy Tightener
"While seated, hold on to the arms of your chair with your feet together and knees bent. Lift your knees toward your chest while pulling your stomach in, and hold for 3-5 seconds."

Triceps Toners
"Shape up the back of your arm by holding a small but heavy object, like a paperweight, and raising it straight above your head. Bend your arm at the elbow and bring the weight down to your shoulder, keeping your upper arm straight. Repeat a few times and then switch arms."

Back Reliever
"Relax your back by sitting down and pulling one knee to your chest with both hands. Hold for 5-10 seconds, then repeat with the opposite leg."

Use caution when undertaking these exercises, and stop if you feel pain
