Office Leg Extensions

Keep Those Legs & Hips Strong!

Lift your leg up as high as you can without rounding your back. Keeping your foot flexed engages the muscles in the shins and ankle. Hold for three juicy breaths then lower. Switch legs and repeat.

When I Dip, You Dip, We Dip!

Place your hands on the edge of your chair or a sturdy table, bending your arms to slowly lower yourself about six inches lower than the seat. Raise yourself by straightening your arms.

Office Squats

Keep That Butt Firm!

Standing in front of your chair repeat sitting down and standing up.

Office ​Shoulder Shrugs

Strength To Shoulder On!

Just pull your shoulders as high as you can and roll them forward ten times and backward ten times.

Office Arm Circles

Armed And Ready!

Raise your arms straight out to your sides and press your shoulder blades together. Extend arms with palms down, thumbs facing forward, and do 20 forward circles with your arms. Then flip your palms up, thumbs facing behind you, and do 20 backward circles with your arms.

Make sure your managers and/or supervisors understand what you’re up to before you turn your office into a gym. But this can be beneficial for the whole staff. There’s no reason why you can’t get the whole office involved. You can potentially be elevating the levels of your entire staff, and helping make for a much healthier work environment. Add on initiatives for healthier eating, and you’ve got a completely revolutionized office space.
