Tough Schedules? There’s a Thing Called ‘Workplace Workout’

Why keep making excuses if you can do workouts in your workplace anytime? 

Overloaded schedules can be a real pain in the head. With a plethora of things to catch up on at work, you might wonder how you can fit in your weekly workout routine. But wait, did you know that doing exercises is possible at work? 

Yes, you heard that right. Keeping up with your much-needed exercises are doable inside the office. But how is that possible without gym equipment, you ask? Fret not because even your chair and desk are already enough for it. Now let’s have a look at these workplace workouts. 

Desk Push-Ups

Who needs the floor when you have the desk for your push-up sessions? Before performing this one, make sure that your desk is stable enough to hold your weight. Then put your hands on the edge of the desk, step back a bit to straighten your body, and do a pushup motion. A minimum of 20 reps will suffice or you can add more if you have a lot of free time at work.

Chair Squats

This one is pretty simple. All you need is to stand up from your chair, cross your arms in the air, and then squat by lowering your body followed by standing straight again. A minimum of 10 reps will be enough but you can also extend it as long as you want.

Air Jump Rope

No jump rope? No problem! Just pretend you have one and then jump or skip just like you are holding a jump rope. Start with slow movements first and gradually increase your speed after a few minutes or so. Do this for about five to ten minutes.

Chair Bicycle Crunches

This exercise is pretty self-explanatory. Instead of lying on the floor, perform your bicycle crunches while sitting on your office chair. Perform this exercise while waiting for your client’s calls or after finishing a task before moving to another one. 

Neck Rolls

This one is very important since you will be facing your office’s computer screen all day. So have a break and do some neck rolls for about two to five minutes. Start by rolling your head on the left side first then repeat on the right side once done. Just like chair bicycle crunches, you can perform this in-between your tasks.

Wall Air Sits

Wall air sits are just like sitting on a chair. The only difference is that you are leaning into a wall to support your back. Stand behind a wall and position your body as if you are sitting on a chair. Hold this position for a full minute before standing up again. A minimum of ten reps is enough in performing this exercise.

Conclusion

These office workouts are truly a godsend. But always keep in mind that you should never overwork yourself. Take time to relax when you get at home. Maybe you can take a nice and long slumber or give your back its much-needed rubdown on your massage chair. Getting fit is now easier and doable anytime, anywhere even in your office. And making excuses will never be an option anymore.
