Exercises for the Butt
If you have a minute at the office, try this simple exercise. For about 7 seconds, tighten the muscles in your butt, while sitting up in your chair, then loosen the muscles and relax. That would be your first rep. When you continue to do 20-30 reps of these, you will tone your butt muscles.
Lifts for the Toes
Stand up next to your chair, with your shoes off, and lift your body up by rolling your weight up to the balls of your feet and on tip toe. Doing this will stretch the calf muscles. After holding for 5-8 seconds, roll back down. This counts as one rep. Twenty to Thirty reps should provide ample exercise.
To Do Marches
To work the thighs, calves, and knees, do march exercises next to your chair. To do this, you don’t need to march around the room. As if you were in a marching band, keep your back straight and lift your legs one at a time. After lifting each leg, you have done one rep. Do at least 50 reps for adequate exercise.
Abdominal Bends
In a chair without your shoes, keep your knees bent while raising them up. Your abdomen will feel some pull in it if it’s working. Relax after 5-6 counts. This can be counted as one rep. At least 20 reps should be enough.
Desk Push Up Exercise
Instead of getting on the ground to do push-ups, make sure your desk and chair are stable, place your palms at your desk edge and then let your chest area move towards the desk. Pump your body up and down with your elbows bent out. Do thirty reps or more, according to how you feel.
Stretching
Stretching every two to three hours is a good idea. If your stuck at a desk, do head rolls, stretch your arms up, and your legs out every few hours. Rotating your hips is another good thing to do for stretching. Your back, neck, and joints won’t get sore if you stretch.
