Exerciseing at my desk

CarolPre

I keep handweights in my desk and do several different types of reps. It's not much for burning calories, but it's better than nothing. In warmer weather, I walk for about 20 minutes of my lunch hour.

I work at a desk at the entrance of our business, so I can't do squats and dips, without making people look at me funny. That being said, I've gotten into the routine of fidgeting as much as possible, tightening certain muscle groups over and over, and getting up to stretch and take bathroom breaks. Make sure to stay hydrated throughout your day and pack healthy snacks, if you can eat at your desk. Also, as difficult as it is, try to schedule gym trips before or after work. They really do pay off.

We use the Varidesks at work also, so I can alternate between standing and sitting. Found this site had some helpful ideas also:

I sit all day also, and I like to make sure I move around at least once an hr. Ultimately, sitting at a desk all day is even more reason to set aside some time just for exercise before or after work daily, even if it is just for 15 min.

There are some ideas in here too if you kindle. I'm going to get one of the peddle things myself. Also drink my water out of small cups so I have to get up more often and I always go to people's desk to tell/ask things.
