5 simple exercises
Do you want to exercise but have no time to go to the gym?
Well, here are 5 simple exercises that can help you get in
shape without even leaving the office.
 Leg
Curls - For this exercise, you will need a flat level
surface to work with. A good example is your office desk or
any table.
Stand facing the desk or table. Place both your hands on
top of the table for support. Stand on one leg while extending
the other leg behind you. Slowly bend the extended leg and
raise your heel towards your bottom as much as you can without
getting uncomfortable. Lower your foot. Repeat this exercise
8 to12 times before switching to the other leg.
 Leg
Lift - For this exercise, you need to be seated on a chair.
While seated, put both hands under your left knee. Gently
pull your bent leg toward your chest. Feel for a stretch in
the side of your upper leg. Using your right arm, pull the
bent leg towards the right shoulder. Hold the position for
10 to 20 seconds. Repeat on the other leg.
 Upward
Arm Stretch - Interlace your fingers in front of you.
Slowly raise your arms up above your head with your palms
facing up. Slightly push your arms back and up. Breathe easily
and hold position for 10 to 20 seconds.
 Wrist
Extensor Stretch - Extend one arm in front of you with
the palm facing up and keeping the elbow straight. Hold the
extended hand and slowly bend at the wrist until a stretch
is felt. Hold position for 30 seconds then switch to the other
arm.
 Back
Stretch - Interlace your fingers behind your back. Extend
both arms while slowly turning your elbows inward. Hold position
for 5 to 15 seconds. *
