Today’s Sneaky At Work Workout

Today I am recovering from a back injury, so the sneaky desk workout will be lightweight. I don’t know if this will count as far as a MFP workout, but it is a fun way to pass the time!

10 wrist rolls, each wrist
10 ankle rolls, each ankle
Look left, then look right (5 times)
Look up, then look down (5 times)
Raise one knee up (10 times each leg)
Press hands together as hard as you can (10 seconds)
Press down on desk as hard as you can (10 seconds)
Clean office (10 minutes)
10 desk pushups
10 calf raises
From a seated position, straighten one leg out (10 times each leg)
10 trunk twists
Clench abs firmly and hold (10 times)
Biceps curls with your purse (10 each arm)
Paperwork 15 minutes
Make up an excuse to get up from your desk and walk down the hall (go to the bathroom/deliver a message/make a copy) If you can go up and down stairs, even better.
Repeat

    We have the greatest invironmental boss in our company she has supplied every office with rubber bands and sheets to show how we can work out to reduce desk-job related injuries. I have never actually used them, just thought of it when I saw your post. I think I will grab them tomorrow.

    I love this. I find excuses to get up and move alot (mostly because I have to go to the bathroom with all of the water I drink :laugh: ) but these are all great suggestions. THANK YOU!!

    Start an office affair.

    Count the calories you burn in your illicit encounters in the stock cupboard as exercise.

    Thanks for letting me know I'm allowed, husband!

    Gah! And I don't even have a stock-cupboard!

    Does the back of the Land Rover count?

    Drop your paper clips and squat to pick them up.
