Fun with Fitness – Office Obliques
Amanda Lyn Mayhew-Hare, Fitness Coach, Model and Motivational Speaker
Exercising while at work will make your day easier to get through, you can exercise without even moving from your chair. Always remembering to keep your posture straight, stretching from time to time and moving your legs often will prevent fatigue. I often squeeze my eyes closed for 3 seconds to give them a rest from the computer screen as well.
The plank is a great core strengthening exercise you can do anywhere, especially behind your desk at work, who will see you? Even so, if someone catches you spending 2 minutes on the floor, ask them to join you! Make it a challenge! Check out our Plank Off Challenge on Facebook and get involved.
Do you know those office chairs that twist at work? Here is something to work on.
Plant your feet flat on the floor, sit up straight and slowly twist your body from side to side –flexing your obliques and keeping your core tight. Can you imagine doing this all day long, you would have the most flattest stomach and powerful core by the end of the week. Simple movements like these make all the difference. Just because you are designated to a chair for 8 hours a day doesn’t mean you can’t make the best of it.
