Exercises That Can Be Done While Working In The Office

In continuation with our special series on exercise modules for the busy bees amongst us, we would be throwing light on some of the easily performable exercises and stretches in the office, which you can perform at ease, without much trouble. Use your office resources, like your chair for a short exercise session in the way we are demonstrating.

Your chair can become your gym

First interesting way of doing an exercise using chair is the chair squat. Sit upright on the chair and while you are sitting try and lift yourself upwards. Bring the arms out and make your hips rotate upwards. If possible hold on for 5-10 seconds. Sit back upright and take a deep breath in. After waiting for 2-3 min repeat the same. Make at least 15-20 repetitions in a day.

These squats are highly helpful in strengthening the muscles of the biceps as well as abdominal muscles. You can also perform dips using a firm and well placed chair, do not use a chair with wheels as this may be hazardous. Once the chair is firmly placed, place your hands next to hips in front of chair. After attaining this posture, bend the elbows, lower your body till the elbows make an angle of 90 degrees. Stay in this posture for 5 seconds and then get back up, make 6-8 reps.

Exercises for the triceps and the biceps

You can’t carry your dumbbells to the office, well no one can but you can always use water bottle as a weight isn’t it. To exercise your biceps and triceps, sit tall and press your abs in. Use the bottle as your dumbbell, lift it up to the shoulder level, wait for 4-5 seconds move the bottle and hand upward for 5 seconds bring the hand back to the shoulder levels. You can also use the bottle for the bicep curls and make 15-20 reps with each hand, whenever you get time out of your tight office schedule.
