Do you find yourself sitting in front of the computer and being glued to your seats all day long? However fun, interesting, challenging or exciting your job could be, it also might have a few detrimental effects on your health. Desk jobs are perfect tricksters. They make you comfortable all day long just to increase your frame size gradually day by day! To combat this, you need to start embracing deskercise along with your colleagues. It is even better, if your company appreciates this and hence becomes a way of life! We know it can be quite embarrassing to start off with, given the number of stares you’ll be getting from the people at your workplace, but that won’t last. You might end up being an inspiration to others around you. So go ahead and start practicing the following exercises at the comfort of your desk. It’s super easy and fun!

 

1. Desk push-ups: After ensuring that your desk is stable, place your hands on the edge of the desk with legs at a few distance away from the bottom of the desk and keep pushing yourself towards and away just like a regular push-up.

2. March on the spot: This is the easiest kind of deskercise. All you’ve got to do is simply march or jog on the sport continuously for 3-5 minutes.

3. Sit,stand,sit,stand: This can also be played as a game along with your colleagues during coffee breaks. One person has to direct the group and can switch these positions abruptly to cause confusion. This is a sure way to trigger laughter while you also become fitter.

4. Touch the ground: Touching the ground with your fingers while making sure that your knees are not bent, helps tone the glutes and is also effective in toning your tummy.

5. Chair dips: This is the best way to work out your triceps. Move a little and make some space for yourself at the edge of your seat. Hold the arms of the chair for some grip and lift yourself up and down.

Happy Deskercising!

 

PS: Periodic Stretches, climbing stairs and walking to meet colleagues on the same floor instead of making those intercom calls are other options that you should consider.
