Alternating reverse lunges (right leg, then left) for 1 minute

Hold a plank position for 1 minute

Perform crunches for 1 minute

Perform Push Ups for 1 minute

Stand up and sit back into your chair; up and back to the chair for 1 minute (repeat every time you get irritated with a co-worker, or the call drops with the “help desk.”

Remember:

Consult your doctor before you start any exercise program

When squatting, never let your knees extended past your toes, press your weight through your heels at all times, inhale on the way down, and exhale as you lift up out of the squat.

Stay Hydrated

Never perform the same exercise two days in a row; when you work a muscle group, it needs 48 hours to recover.

Without rest and recovery, you will either suffer an overuse injury, get burnt out, and ultimately it will take longer to see results.

And who needs that? You are already waiting on hold with the “Help Desk,” you shouldn’t have to wait to see results, feel stronger, and more in control of YOUR LIFE!
