Can you give a couple of examples of exercises that people in sedentary jobs might be able to do at their desk?
While nothing can beat doing a proper exercise program involving free-weights and cardio, there are some great exercises you can do at your desk to tide you over until you can get to the gym.
Squats, shoulder, neck, and back stretches are going to be some of the best choices for those with a sedentary job. Give this quick desk workout a try, and we guarantee you will feel better and be more productive throughout your work day!
Stand up from your chair, then lower yourself back down until your butt lightly touches it. Repeat for 3 sets of 10 reps with a one-minute break. Sit tall and roll your shoulders forward in a circular motion, then reverse the direction, doing 10 reps in each direction. Gently tilt your head to one side, bringing your ear towards your shoulder, until you feel a stretch along the side of your neck.
Hold for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides. Finally, sit upright in your chair and twist your torso to one side, placing one hand on the back of the chair and the other hand on the opposite thigh. Hold the twist for 15-30 seconds, then switch sides.”
