How's the day going? Almost 11 - I think I'm going to take a walk around the outside of the building at 11. How about you?

    Love this group idea! I fly a desk and do stairs twice a day (I shoot for a minimum of 25 flights M-F) and think that at 11 I will do some Swiss ball crunches. :smile:

    Yup...love this...3 sets of 10. :bigsmile:

    I just made myself chug 16 oz of water (I'm bad at hydrating) and I'm alone at the moment so I think I'm going to try walking backwards to and from the copier machine. Sounds silly but it uses different muscles than walking forwards! This group is already motivating me to get creative haha

    Oops, sorry, I posted another topic for today.

    Just got up and did squats and side twists.

    This is a great idea! Thanks for starting the group.

    Love it! and you'll probably be able to walk backwards to the bathroom soon too since you chugged 16 oz of water haha

    I'm going to walk outside for a few minutes - hopefully 10 minutes if my fingers don't freeze off :)

    I try to get up at least once an hour and walk around a little bit. I have also done some squats at my desk and some desk push-ups. I like the every 30 minute goal!

    I love this group! I definitely need to be more active while at work. I've been downing the water today, and a lot of times I'll make myself do 10 squats every trip to the bathroom. I haven't done that lately, but I'm going to start it now!

    Oh, and I set my timer on my phone to make sure I get up and do something!

    Open plan office so can't do a lot of the exercises without funny looks but I did just go and climb the stairs a couple of times. Might start deliberately going for coffee/water on the floor above.

    Great idea - sneak in ways to do things.

    Someone else posted about doing squats in the bathroom. If you can grab the handicap stall for a minute, so you have a little room, and no one can see you!

    I just did a wall sit!
    Less than a minute and I was ready to crumble! I think this is a move I can do sneakily somewhere around the office from now on.

    My 10:30 was 10 squats and 10 lunges. 11:00 was 10 chair dips and 15 desk pushups. Those were hard since my shoulder is still injured...
