ok so i think this is a good idea lets all try to find a secret work out while we are at work things we can do on the dl [down low] because i know i do my squats occasionally at my desk and walk around the building on my 15 min. break how about you

I do squats in the bathroom...I walk around the building....I do calves when I'm on calls (not sure what they're called...toe raises/calf raises...i stand up and go onto my tip toes and down....)
Looking for more ideas though....0 -
i heard sitting on a large exercise ball instead of a desk chair is good and it makes you work out your core. haven't tried it yet. I'm at the front desk. i might be moving later in which case I so want to try!0

our building is 1/4 mile from end to end and 4 stories tall .. I walk a couple laps during lunch and take the stairs whenever I can .. take care when using the stairs ... take time and catch your breath before walking into that meeting ...ive NOT done what with embarassing results LOL0
-
i do a 30 second plank everytime i go to the bathroom.. Some days it adds up to 4-5 minutes in planks....depending on water intake0

good good i wish we were aloud a fitness ball @ my desk we are not allowed otherwise i would do that lol and well yeah in the bathroom i also was told to do air punches or ab crunches =] lol crazy but im sure it works also i think i may bring in a light wieght dumbbell maybe like 3lbs or so .. and well join my group desk job ...0

I sit on a body ball, I'm not sure how much it helps, but I know it can't hurt. You do have to engage your abs or you roll around like crazy. I also do squats or lunges while I'm on the phone and sometimes stretch while waiting for copies...every little bit helps!0

really good for your back posture tooI sit on a body ball, I'm not sure how much it helps, but I know it can't hurt. You do have to engage your abs or you roll around like crazy.

LOL! My mom commented on my improved posture...nice change from my being told the "stand up straight" my ENTIRE life!0

I do a set of 15 wall push ups and 15 squats every time I go to the bathroom.
Might try bringing my ball in to sit on over the next two holiday weeks to give it a try while no one is around. I could use the help with my posture!!
Oh and taking the stairs all the time now. I second taking a second to catch your breath - I have walked right into a coworkers office full on sucking wind and just had to laugh - at least I took the stairs right?0 -
I sit and do sets of 10 of clenching my bum and tummy at the same time0

I use an exercise ball at work. I wouldn't recomend it everyday because it does hurt your lower back after a while however if you use it atleast half the day you can get in some 'secret' core exercises and I do crunches on it. And man can you feel a difference at the end of the week :0)0 -
L sit in the elevator is a staple of mine. Just make sure you are not going to break anything before you commit to the hold Nice as these little breaks are to get serious you have to get out of the office.0
-
ahah yeah so true i def have to get back on the ball now back @work today =] and well you guys are lucky to have stairs my class just ended but those are the only stairs in my life cause my class was on the 4th flr0

I walk every chance I get and do some mild stretching and chair exercises that include dips and use my water bottle filled with water and ice for my weights.0
