Two Toning Moves for the Office

Get yourself to a cubicle and work it out!

Sitting at Your Desk? Try This.

Let's say you love working out, but trying to sneak in a lunchtime trip to the gym just isn't going to work. Here's what the experts say to try.

Let's face it: a lot of those desk-time workouts are really odd. Even if you are in a cubicle, you probably don't want someone to see you doing a desk push-up or a repeated "sit down" chair squat. With these two moves, nobody will be the wiser:

Quad Tightener

While sitting at your desk, lift one foot 8 to 10 inches off of the floor. After holding your leg in this position for 20 minutes, try slowly moving your knee upwards in gentle pulses for a count of 20. Don't lock the knee. Repeat on other leg.

Office Flexer

Buy an elastic figure-8 band and keep it at your desk instead of the traditional stress-reliever ball. Try simple arm exercise using this band for resistance, including bicep curls and gentle stretches.
