Simple And Easy Ways For You To Be Fit In The Office

Always sitting down can make you gain more weight. Common choices of the employees are fast food chains as a quick way to get their meals and eating fast can also lead to health problems. These can lead to high blood pressure or obesity.

Below is an excerpt of an article that shares exercises that you can use at the office:

Rubber Neck
Sit up tall and drop your right  ear down towards your right shoulder (you don’t have to touch it!) and hold for a few seconds and repeat for the left side.

Reach for the Stars
Interlace your fingers and reach up towards the sky, as high as you can … keeping your palms facing up towards the ceiling.

Look Around
Turn your head the left and try and look over your shoulder and hold for a few seconds … repeat on the right.

Bobblehead
Drop your chin down towards your chest and GENTLY roll your head from side to side.

Shrugs
Raise both shoulders up towards your ears and hold for a few seconds and release. Repeat a few times for good measure.

Chest Opener
Bring your hands behind your back, press your palms together, sit up tall and hold for 5–10 seconds.

Seated Toy Soldier
Sit up tall and extend your right arm all the way up towards the ceiling. Straighten your left leg out and raise it up as you bring your right arm down and try to touch your left foot. Do 8–10 on each side.

Knee Hugger
With a bent knee, lift your right leg up and grab it with your arms and pull it in as close to your chest as you can. Hold for 5–10 seconds and make sure and do it on the left side, too.

Reach and Bend
Extend your right arm over your head and reach out as far as you can to the left and gently bend over. Hold for a few seconds and do it the other way.

Knee Press
This one stretches out the glutes. With your right ankle on your left knee, gently press against the right knee a few times. Of course, after you’re done with the right side, be sure and give the left side some love, too.
