Desk Workouts

Anybody do exercises while sitting at their desks? Anybody have any exercises they do that they can share?
I try and just march in place underneath my desk because nobody can really tell I'm working out.

I have a stand/sit desk and when standing I will do calf raises if nobody else is standing at their desk :laugh:0

No.
That just sounds silly....lol0 -
No but we have private "Touchdown" rooms for cell phone calls, and sometimes I go in there and do some wall sits or squats when I need a break from thinking.0

Chair dips for tricep work out.0

Sometimes I'll do this thing where I try to get my belly button to touch my spine (hypothetically) without using any other muscles besides abs. It's a pretty good workout if you really commit to it.0

I do them all the time !!
Here are some of the ones I do pretty much all day long...
Glutes: While sitting just squeeze each cheek back and forth for what ever count you want and then squeeze both for a hold count....repeat.
Abs: Contract your core and then shift your mid section back and forth. Keeping your butt and shoulders stationary. Kinda like a belly dance move. Then finish this one off with some belly rolls....repeat.
Calves I have a "step" under my desk. You can use whatever to elivate your legs up and then I sit with my feet half on..heels off the back and raise up and down. Think like doing standing calve raises, but sitting
Arms: I try to find a quiet low traffic place that has a countertop and do standing push ups. Just place hands on the countertop and walk feet back a bit. Now do a push up. I REALLY like these !! I do them in the rest room - LOL
Another Arms: Bring your hands together into a prayer, or namaste yoga position and squeeze together, hold for 10 to 20 sec. and again repeat.0
