The 25-Minute Office Workout


Walking to work to start, changing into comfortable shoes that arch support. Then get up and walk the halls at work at a moderate pace for 15 consecutive minutes a day, and you burn about 60 calories. Add to racks, building strength, and some aerobic activity, climbing stairs for five minutes.


Stand with your feet 12 inches apart and your arms stretched out straight to your sides. Then bend at the waist and touching your right hand to your left foot. Back to its original position, and then tap your left hand to your right foot, then back to its original position. Continue gently shelving — if you can 't touch your foot, reach as far as you can without discomfort.


Hands on wall, stand facing a wall with your feet shoulder-width apart and your toes about two feet from the wall. Place your palms against the wall with your hands shoulder-width apart and at shoulder height. Keep your feet stationary and your back straight, bend at the elbows, move your body towards the wall. Count to three at the wall, and three more if you're pushing away. Repeat these steps.



Squats in front of chair: stand with your back to a solid, stationary chair, your feet about shoulder width apart, your heels about one foot away from the chair, and your arms straight out in front of you, parallel to the floor. Lower your body to a sitting position, count to three, and stand back up to the start position. Repeat these steps. Trying to achieve an angle of 90 degrees with your legs, when you move to the sitting position.
