Deskercise ... Part 1

So my sister has been nagging me for days now about exercises that can be done at your work desk. Well here you go sister. I have come up with a few exercises that can be performed at work, so for those who say they struggle for time because of work.... Give this a go.

Exercise	Explanation	Picture
Seated calf raise	While sat down at your desk perform calf raises. Pretend that you are going onto your tip toes. Hold the tip toe motion for 3-5 seconds and then relax. Repeat this for 15 repetitions.
Wall Sit	Go up to the wall and place your back against it and go into a seated position as shown in the picture. Hold this position for 15-30 seconds and then repeat another 2 times.
Chair tricep dips	Place your hands on your chair and have your legs bent in front of you as shown in the picture.    Now sink your butt down until your tricep (top of the arm) is at a 90 degree angle. Then bring yourself back up. Repeat this for 10 repetitions.
Shrugs	While sat down in your chair perform shrugs. It’s a nice simple exercise and all you have to do is shrug your shoulders. Now the best way to do this is to this exercise is to try and make your shoulders touch your ears. Now do not worry if you can’t do that just go as far as you can go. Perform this till you reach 15 repetitions.
Jog on the spot	Now to finish this off how about a nice jog. Well not literally just leave the office for a jog, just a quick jog on the spot. Just hop out of your chair and jog on the spot for 30 seconds .

Once you have completed these exercise once, go through it twice more if you have time and try to perform this routine at least 2-3 times a week. It can make work much more fun and even more fun if you and your colleagues perform it altogether. To help with the exercise make sure you are drinking plenty of water. On a standard 8 hour day at work, try to have a minimum of 5 glasses and maximum of 10.

Stay posted as part 2 to deskercise will be posted, which will include more exercises, stretches and also nutrition.
