7 Sitting Exercises for the Office

With you spending most of your time in the office, you might as well learn how to exercise in your chair. There are several simple, but effective workouts you can do to help you get you through the day.

Working out easier than you think with these seated exercises:

1. The Leg Raise

Raise your leg up from time to time and hold it there. After a minute, switch to the other leg

2. Chair Push

Push on your arm rest as if you are getting up and hold it there. This will burn your arms and work your arms.

3. Deep breaths

Deep breaths throughout the day will get more oxygen in your lungs and your muscles so your mind can be clear and your muscles functioning at 100 percent.

4. Tighten your thighs and buttocks

Press firmly onto the floor with your feet and tight your buttocks. Give them a good squeeze and hold it for a while and then release. Repeat several times for a good workout.

5. Arm Circles

Stick your arms out to the side and spin your arms in little circles. Make sure you have enough space as to do this. You can spin forwards and backwards to give your arms a burn.

6. Push Off from you desk

Lean over in your chair and press firmly on the table with both hands. You know you are doing it right when you feel tension in your hands and arms. Hold that position for a minute and release, repeat several times for a workout.

7. Bicycle Kick

Sit towards the edge of the seat, raise your feet up and start doing small bicycle kicks. This will definitely give your legs a workout quickly.
