I work in a cubicle and looking for ideas on exercises to do throughout the day to burn some extra calories. Sitting at my desk all day is making me lazy and I need to burn some energy.

I'm looking for quiet exercises to do during the day when others are in the office....and some I could do when everyone leaves as I am usually here after hours......I normally wear a wife beater, sweater, jeans and running shoes...so I'm only dressed up on occasion.

Please if anyone has ideas I'd really appreciate it. So far when the shop is empty I jog the stairs but recently people in the shop have been pulling overtime so I can't jog anymore.

    While you're at your computer, simply lift your feet off the ground and use your core to keep yourself balanced. Go up and down the stairs a few times every hour... Walk around for about 5 minutes whenever you can. :)

    Chair dips and calf raises are the only thing that come to mind.

    Keep a couple of water bottles at your desk. Use those to strength train upper body. Bicep curls, tricep kickbacks, military press, etc.

    Can you replace your chair with an exercise ball? Chair lifts, do alot of stretching. Walk around whenever you can. I know what you're going through, I think my desk job is making my *kitten* flat from sitting all day!!! Oh! - and you can always do kiegels!!! (did I spell that right?)
