To tackle the adverse effects of the 9-to-5 routine, it's important to exercise. But the question is when can you find enough time to exercise? Workplace workouts can help you to get the most of the limited hours at your disposal. With a dash of creativity, you can utilize the few minutes you have between deadlines or daily tasks and try to exercise while you work.

One trick is to perform under the desk exercises. The deal with this technique is that your co-workers will catch you reading a document but won't see you relieving your tired legs or strengthening your abs.

Simple Under the Desk Exercise

1. Begin with your feet flat on floor.

2. Sit tall while at your desk.

3. Hold your abdominal muscles tightly.

4. Extend a leg until its level with your hip.

5. Hold this position for ten seconds.

6. Slowly set your leg down.

7. Repeat this 15 times.

8. Then change legs.

Chair Squats

Chair squats are effective body-strengthening routines. Do a few of these every time you get up from your chair and sit back down. Here’s how to do chair squats:

• Stand tall with your back straight.

• Lower to an inch of chair, almost like you are sitting down.

• Hold this position for ten seconds.

• Lift back up to standing position.

Leg Toning Under the Desk Routine

• With your legs straight, cross a leg on top of the other.

• Lift them off the floor.

• Press the top leg down and resist this with bottom leg.

• Do this until your muscles are tired.

• Repeat this with opposite legs top and bottom.
