Five Ways to Exercise at the Office

If you find it difficult to exercise because you are stuck in the office all day, don't fret. I have five simple ways to increase your physical fitness.

1. Always take the stairs. The higher up your office, the better! Take the stairs down and definitely take them up anytime you need to run an errand or take a much needed break outside.
2. Stretch! Did you know the more flexible you are, the least likely you will be to injure yourself? Not to mention it just makes you feel better. Stress can cause tight muscles, release the muscle tension and release the stress.
3. Do Push ups. That's right, when you find yourself day dreaming at your desk or having brain fart moment, stand up. Position yourself on the edge of your desk in push up position. Do a set of 10-20 push ups and then get right back to work. This might just inspire you with a new idea.
4. Do Squats. After sitting for a long period of time, you may be wondering if the commercials are true and diagnose yourself with restless leg syndrome. Hold your horses before you pick up the phone to call the pharmacy. Get up and strengthen those muscles by squating. Take off the stilletoes if necessary and do 25 squats. Not only will your blood begin to flow but you are getting a head start on sexy legs sure to turn heads.
5. Do Tricep Dips. Use a chair that is not on wheels, perhaps there is one in the break room, or the edge of your desk if it is stable enough. Be sure to combat turkey arms that keep waving once you've stopped by building the muscle tone in your triceps.

Remember some physical activity is better than no physical activity. Follow these tips with confidence and know you are on your journey of being fit and fabulous for life.

Until next time... Dream it. Be it. Do it! And know that it's yours.
