Do you have a work out suitable for a cubicle you would like to see added to the Daily Challenges? Post here, and I can start incorporating those in and changing things up.

    Sitting in your chair or standing. Arm circles" Arms straight out to your sides, palms facing back. Circles should be dinner plate size. 15 forward, 15 back and repeat to your desire.

    Only standing exercise or floor exercises too?

    I have an exercise tube with handles that I keep in one of my desk drawers. You could do biceps curls, shoulder raises, triceps extensions, then you could (if you have the space) drop and do some push-ups or push-ups against a wall (my cubicle is behind someone and against a wall). I also walk up 298 steps to my floor in the morning and do it again on a break - it only takes about 3-4 minutes. If you don't have a band, you could create your own resistance by making a fist and slowly curling your arms as if you had weights, triceps kick backs works this way too. Dips are the best though.

    I like the idea of doing variations throughout the week. And working arms, abs, and legs. Squats, split squats, side lunges,calf raises, walking stairs, standing abs variations (I have to stay off the floor please), dips, pushups etc....

    Standing Sumo Crunch
    The sumo crunch is a great exercise for the oblique muscles. Stand with feet wider than shoulder width apart, with your toes pointed outward. Lower down until your thighs are parallel with the floor and clasp your hands behind your head. With control, lower your right elbow as far as you can toward your right thigh. Return to the starting position; then lower to the left side. Complete three sets of 20 crunches on each side.

    I think next week I am going to change the challenges from every 30 minutes to every hour. The reps are getting higher and my work production is getting lower, I am having a hard time keeping up, and having the time to post on my wall reminders.

    That's a good idea. It's tough to keep up! I feel great though!

    I have a balance ball for a chair, bought the chair base for it too. It's super easy to roll it off the base and sit on in on the ground or to turn the base sideways and to sit-up/crunches.

    Opened a whole new world to me for desk jocky work outs.

    I didn't read all the responses, so I don't know if I'm duplicating many of them. Lunges, jumping jacks, burpees, mountain climbers, plank holds, suicides up and down the hallway. Ooooo! Or how about chair races for those of us with wheels on their chairs!!! :tongue:
