Spending all day at a desk can get pretty dull, and by the time work is over, most of us are too drained to even think about going 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 off, don’t forget to drink water. It’s easy to get caught up in your 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 doing glute squeezes. Just tighten your butt muscles, hold for 5–10 seconds, then release and repeat. It’s simple and no one will even notice.
Another easy one is calf raises. Push your feet into the floor and lift your heels while keeping your toes down. The more pressure you apply, the more resistance you’ll feel.
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. Repeat a few times.
For your outer thighs, do the opposite—press your knees outward against your hands or another form of resistance. This targets the outer thigh muscles and helps with hip strength.
If you don’t mind a few curious looks, arm circles are great for your shoulders. Stretch your arms out to the sides and make small circles forward for 30 seconds, then backward for another 30.
You can also work your quads with leg extensions under your desk. Hold onto your chair or desk for balance, lift your foot and calf, and tighten your thigh muscles. Hold, release, and repeat.
If you have a bit more privacy, like your own office or a cubicle, try bodyweight exercises like squats, pushups, or planks. You can use your chair, desk, or a stability ball for support.
The bottom line? There are endless ways to stay active at work—you just have to get creative. Make it a point to move every day, even if it’s just a little. Break a sweat, stay consistent, and you’ll be on track to reaching your fitness goals.
