Apr 11, 2018

Unfortunately, due to our long hours working at a desk, we may not have time to exercise enough. Luckily, there are 7 simple exercises you can do right at your desk from your chair to help stay fit! The only tool you need is a sturdy chair.
 

Why?

This helps you strengthen your core, burn fat, and improve digestion.

The Method:

-Sit down with a straight spine to activate your core
-Place your feet shoulder-width apart
-Keep your belly engaged and lift your left leg to your chest
-Place your hands on your shin to pull your leg closer
-Lower your leg to the floor
-Alternate legs 20-30 times

Why?

You can tone your entire abdominals gently and easily.

The Method:

-Place your feet together
-Use your hands to grip the sides of your chair
-Straighten your spine
-Lift your legs and hug your knees to your chest
-Squeeze your abs
-Lower your legs so they just hover above the floor
-Repeat 20 times

Why?

Trim your waist by engaging and toning your obliques.

The Method:

-With a straight spine, sit on the edge of your seat
-Use your hands to grip the sides of your chair
-Bend to the side so that you're sitting on one glute
-Keep your knees together as you raise them to your chest
-Lower and switch sides
-Repeat 20 times

Why?

You can target fat burning and muscle toning on both your waist and hips.

The Method:

-Place your feet on the floor shoulder-width apart
-Extend your arms directly in front of you
-Twist to the right as you bend to touch your right foot with your left hand
-Hold this position for three counts
-Return to center and repeat with other side, using your right hand to touch your left foot
-Repeat both sides up to 30 times

Why?

This is a more strenuous exercise that burns belly, back, and shoulder fat quickly. Note: Ensure that your chair is stable and can support your body weight. Beginners should be careful when using their legs and arms to support their full body weight.

The Method:

-Sit with both hands gripping the side of the chair
-Use your arms to lift yourself so that you're hovering enough to keep your hips and legs off the chair.
-Use your core to lift your knees to your chest
-Hold for up to 20 seconds then slowly lower yourself
-Repeat 4 times

Why?

This exercise is great for trimming your waist since it engages your obliques and lower abdominals.

The Method:

-Straighten your spine so your back doesn't touch the chair
-Place your hands behind your head
-Lift your right leg to your chest
-Twist your core until your left elbow touches your right knee
-Return to center and repeat 15 times
-Switch to your left leg, using your right elbow to touch your left knee
-Return to center and repeat 15 times

Why?

Not only will you trim your waist and burn belly fat, you'll also be able to tone your glutes.

The Method:

-Stand behind your chair and grip the side of the chair with your left hand
-Raise your right arm directly above your head
-Raise your right leg and bend your knee until your heel touches your glutes
-Lower your right hand and cup your ankle of the bent leg
-Return to your starting position and repeat 15 times
-Switch sides with opposite hands and legs and repeat 15 times
-Complete 4 sets on each side
