Easy Exercises for the Office

Here are some easy exercises you can do, whether you are at home working on your computer, at the office in your cubicle. As long as you are indoors, you can apply these exercises. These exercises are simple to follow and you will get a great workout if you do them. Running to the gym may not be an option for you. So it would be ideal to do workouts right from where you are and using your surroundings, especially if you are bogged down in an office.

Here are some office exercises for you:

1. The hand pump
Stick your hands out in front of you and squeeze your hands, then release. Repeat this process rapidly to get a good workout for your hands and forearms.

2. The Wall Sit
Lean against the wall and slide on down until you are in a "sitting" position, pushing yourself against the wall. Hold that position to get a good burn in your legs. You can also do the hand pumps I explained earlier as well while sitting against the wall. That way you can work out two different muscles at the same time.

3. Jumping Jacks
This simple yet effective exercise can be done anywhere, around your house or in your cubicle. Doing this for a minute straight will definitely get you tired and your heart pumping as well.

4. The Desk Push
You can lean over a table or a desk with your hands placed on it and push up off the desk to work your chest and arms.

5. The March in Place
Standing in place you can count in cadence and move yourself in place. Swing your arms a little too to work your arms. It is not difficult to do and it will get your body moving.
