5 Exercises You Can Sneak in During Work Hours

Have you been sitting for long and fear you might just doze off completely, leaving work unattended? No worries, fellow comrade! You don’t need a gym membership right now. Sneak in these exercises even while you are at your desk.

1. Chair Squats

This is a classic exercise that targets your legs and glutes. Just sit on the edge of your chair, engage your core, and slowly lower yourself down as if you’re sitting in a chair. Hold for a few seconds, then push back up to a standing position. Do 15-20 reps, and I promise your steeze will be recovered.

2. Desk Push-ups

Push-ups are a great way to strengthen your upper body. Stand facing your desk, place your hands on the edge, and lower your body until your chest almost touches the desk. Push back up to the starting position. If you’re just starting out, you can do them on your knees.

3. Wall Sits

This exercise works your legs and core. Stand with your back against a wall, slide down until your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, and hold. Try to hold this position for as long as you can. I tried this and felt relieved, comrade.

4. Arm Circles

Stand tall, extend your arms out to the sides at shoulder height, and make small circles. Do 10 circles in one direction, then 10 in the other.

5. Calf Raises

This exercise targets your calf muscles. Stand tall, place your hands on a desk or wall for balance, and raise your heels off the ground. Hold for a few seconds, then lower back down. Do 20-30 reps.

Now that your steeze has been recovered, take a quick walk to the restroom and back to your desk. You are good! Did you say thank you? You’re welcome, my friend!
