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. A lot of people ask how they can stay active and burn a few calories while working or studying. So, here are 10 simple ways to stay healthy right at your desk.
First, don’t forget to drink water. It’s easy to get caught up in work 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 a different 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 helps improve your posture, strengthens your core, and can even be used for quick exercises like crunches during breaks.
While sitting, try glute squeezes. Just tighten your glutes, 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, then 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 the outer thighs, do the opposite. Press your hands against the outside of your knees and try to push your legs outward at the same time. This targets your hip abductors.
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 switch directions.
You can also do leg extensions under your desk. Hold onto your chair or desk for balance, extend one leg out, flex your quad, hold for a few seconds, then switch legs.
If you have a bit of privacy, take a minute to do some bodyweight exercises like squats, pushups, or planks. Use your chair or desk for support if needed.
The key is to stay active in any way you can. There are endless ways to move, even while working. 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.
