    I, too, work at a desk. What I've been doing for the past 6 weeks is to go down and back up the stairs (2 flights) after I go to the bathroom. I also go for a walk after I have lunch. I make a conscious effort to move more while in the office. If I put the kettle on for tea, I take my teabag to my desk and come back, then I take my spoon, etc. I believe it has helped. I should try and do some squats or planks or something like other posters have mentioned.

    I sit at my desk for the most part as well. But I make up for by walking on my 15 mins breaks, twice a day. But then i get it in in the gym too, at least try to double the cardio that I have done by that point in the day.

    Add me if you want to. Each one, Teach one.

    Desk jockey here too .. engineering project manager (blah, blah, blah, LOL) average over 10k steps a day though. Sounds very challenging .. 180 pushups .. the laughing / mocking coworkers might be more challenging. Add me as a friend if you'd like.
