A Workout for While you Are at your desk

You have read it before...squeeze your butt cheeks while standing in line, hold in your stomach while sitting at your desk. These are great things to do but they are easily forgotten. So next time you are bored, find yourself in between too many days of missed workouts, try this little desk workout:

1. Shrug and release your shoulders ten times
2. Circle your right shoulder for five seconds
3. Circle your left shoulder for five seconds
4. Squeeze your butt (little pulses) 10 times (repeat three times)
5. Extend your stomach all the way out  and then pull in and hold (really hold it in) for 10 seconds, then do it for 15 seconds, then 20 seconds (make you are sitting straight up)
6. While squeezing your stomach in, lift up your right leg with your stomach. It may not even get off the floor but the point is to use your stomach. hold for 10 seconds. Then do with the other leg.
7. Extend your right leg, let it hover while off the floor and do little lifts (do this for a minute)
8. Extend your left leg, let it hover and do tiny little lifts (do for a minute)
9. Sit straight up, with your knees bent, point/ flex your toes (off and on the floor) (do for one minute)
10. Open and close your legs and let your knees touch as they come in and squeeze your thighs (how is that posture are you sitting up straight?)

Now, shrug your shoulders up and out. You are done!
