I have a desk/warehouse job. Mostly sitting at my desk though. So lucky for me we have an exercise ball and some weights. During my down time, I use the ball to do my Ab workouts (crunches, ab roll, ball rotation, ball twist, ball pass, ball pike and shoulder push ups, ball planks, & ball dips) . You can get many more uses…
