    Every little bit helps, right??

    Yes ma'am!!! Especially when you sit for 8 hours a day; an hour at the gym just doesn't seem to be enough.
    Kegels!!

    All hail the mighty kegel :)

    On Black Friday I wore ankle weights while shopping. It was amazing. That night my calves hurt so bad (but felt so good) and when I took the weights off, my ankles look amazing. I am thinking I should start wearing them to work daily.

    I had to get some of those after I (slightly) messed up my knee a couple years ago and have completely forgot about them. I'm going to dig them out and start wearing them around. Thanks for the idea!

    Recently I've started doing forward lunges while walking up and down my hallway on telecommute days. I should probably start to integrate squats as well. Second week here so building slowly.

    We have multiple floors where I work, and every time I need to refill my water glass I make myself truck up the stairs instead of going to the ice machine on my floor. I'm sure my coworkers just think I'm lost, but it helps me regain my focus when taking my little jaunt around the building. Since I'm also in charge of PR, I'll randomly go around the building and take pictures of stuff to ward off the 2:00 - 3:00 blahs.

    I keep trainers in my desk drawer I change into and go for a power walk to a shop a mile or two away to get my lunch! I also carry a resistance band in my handbag and when I get an unexpected invite which means I won;t be able to get to the gym after work, I do some resistance training every time I go to the loo. Goodness knows what people think the noise is :blushing:

    Pushups are my weak spot so I try and sneak in a few when changing clothes or just before a shower. LOL

    LOL i love this, TMI but everytime i go to the private (thank God always clean bathroom) at work i do some squats, air boxing and i sometimes jog on the spot...Sounds crazy but it adds up lol

    OMG...I do this at work to! Thank goodness I'm not alone lol! I do it just to get a break from my desk; gives me an extra boost throughout the day.

    It is nice to know that other people do these things too. I was starting to wonder if I was the lone exercise creeper haha!

    (By the way, I was doing butt clenches while typing that... so thanks to the person that suggested them!)

    Well at work we have a really long walk to the bathroom, so I do intermediate walking all the way there and back. I look really funny walking really fast for 20 then normal pace for 20 but hey... ever little bit helps.

    This may sound silly, but I learned this one off an old workout video....

    But squeezes while sitting.

    So, if you work in an office sometimes you can do it, without anyone noticing it. Does it work, YES! Over time, of course!

    Thanks everyone I love this, great ideas!

    At work if I need to talk to someone in the office I always try and find them instead of calling so I can get up and walk around. Sometimes people call people one or two offices over, such laziness!
