Desk Crunches

Crunches are a part of any exercise routine to get or maintain toned abdominal muscles.

Sit straight in your desk chair with your feet flat on the floor. Tighten your abdominal muscles, rounding your upper back for assistance. Hold this position for a few seconds, and then release and sit up straight. This is a great office exercise because you can perform it throughout the day without anyone noticing!

Desk Pushups

This part of the exercises at work routine is definitely not as discrete as the desk crunches but it is great for toning your arms.

Grasp the edge of your desk with both hands, shoulder width apart and then walk your feet back on your toes until your body is straight. Bend your arms to lower your chest towards the edge of your desk, and then straighten your arms.

Calf Raises

Calf raises are a great way to work your calf muscles during your office exercise routine.

Stand straight and put a hand on your desk or a wall for balance. Lift up onto your toes and hold for a few seconds. Then lower your heels back down to the floor. If you wore heels to work you will have to take them off for this one!

Bicep Curls

This part of your office exercise routine helps tone and strengthen the bicep muscles in your upper arms.

While sitting straight in your chair. Hang one arm straight down at your side. With your palm facing forward make a fist. Put your other hand on your fist and push it while bringing your fist up towards your shoulder. Lower your fist slowly while pushing up against your hand. Repeat with the opposite arm. If you have a heavy, small item at your desk that you can grasp in one hand, you can use it as resistance instead of pushing against your opposite hand.

Desk Squats

This exercise is great for strengthening and toning the buttocks and thighs.

Stand in front of your desk chair and begin to sit down. Keep the majority of your weight on your heels and keep your knees behind your toes. When your buttocks is just above your chair, use your leg muscles to push yourself back up into the standing position.

Triceps Lift Backs

We have strengthened the biceps, and now we must strengthen the triceps.

This part of the exercise routine helps tone the flabby lower portion of the upper arm.

Sit straight in your chair and hang your arms at your sides with palms facing forward. Keeping your elbows locked, slowly raise your arms behind you. When you feel your triceps muscles tighten, hold the pose for a few seconds and then return to the starting position. For added resistance, hold objects from your desk in your hands.
