Many of us are fortunate to have jobs given the downturn experienced in different economies recently. But, it can mean hours at a desk or a computer which is really not good for health. More than trying to fit in 30 mins of exercise a day, many sedentary people would reap far more health benefits (other than weight loss) by simply avoiding sitting too long.
If you can spare 15 minutes, preferably your lunch hour, this desk workout from Sparkpeople.com trains major muscle groups, and stretches hip flexors and other muscles that tighten from being desk bound for an entire day.
Imagine how good it'll feel once you're done, endorphins boosting your mood, oxygen revitalising your energy levels for the rest of the day. Totally worth it in more ways than one!
What you'll need:
1. A sturdy chair without wheels
2. A sturdy wall
3. Athletic shoes (or barefoot works too)
4. Small towel to wipe off sweat
5. Anti-perspirant to apply afterwards
6. Water to stay hydrated before and after
