Spending all day at a desk can get pretty dull, and by the time work is over, most of us don’t feel like heading to the gym. So, what can you do to stay active while sitting at your desk? Here are 10 simple ways to sneak in some movement and stay healthy during your workday.
First, don’t forget to drink water. It’s easy to get caught up in your tasks and forget to hydrate. Try setting a few alarms on your phone to remind you to take water breaks. Not only does this keep you hydrated, but it also gets you up and moving.
Speaking of moving, take the long route to the bathroom. You don’t need to go to another floor, but choosing a longer path to your usual restroom can help get your blood flowing and burn a few extra calories.
Consider swapping your office chair for a stability ball. It encourages better posture, strengthens your core, and can even be used for quick exercises like crunches during breaks.
While sitting, try glute squeezes. Just tighten your butt muscles, hold for 5–10 seconds, then release and repeat. It’s a subtle move that can be done anytime.
Another easy one is calf raises. Press your feet into the floor and lift your heels while keeping your toes down. The more pressure you apply, the more resistance you create.
To work your inner thighs, try adductor squeezes. Make two fists and place them between your knees. Squeeze your knees together, hold for a few seconds, then release.
For your outer thighs, do the opposite—press outward with your knees while resisting with your hands or a band. This targets the outer hip muscles.
If you’re okay with a few curious looks, try arm circles. Extend your arms out to the sides and make small circles forward for 30 seconds, then backward for another 30.
Under your desk, you can do leg extensions. Hold onto your chair or desk for balance, lift your foot and extend your leg, tightening your thigh muscles. Hold, release, and repeat.
If you have a bit more privacy, like your own office or a cubicle, take a few minutes to do bodyweight exercises like squats, pushups, or planks. You can use your desk or chair for support if needed.
The key is to stay active in any way you can. There are endless ways to move, even while working or studying. Just make sure to do something every day that gets your heart rate up—you’ll feel better and be one step closer to your fitness goals.
