How to lose weight sitting in the office? Here are five exercises

We are sure that each of you has at least three excuses for not exercising. And if there is such a reason as “timelessness” between them, we hasten to please you (or, conversely, upset).

An eight-hour workday is no longer a reason to postpone physical activity. Here are five exercises you can do while sitting in an office chair.

body turns

In general, this exercise will not only help you lose weight, but also protect your back during the working day. Straighten your back, lower your shoulders and bend your elbows to raise them in front of you.

As you exhale, begin to rotate your torso to the right. As you inhale, return to the starting position, then make a similar turn to the left. Alternate sides for two minutes.

Alternate leg extension

Bring your feet closer together. As you exhale, bring your right leg to a parallel position. Lower your leg and, by analogy, do the work with your left foot, then switch sides for each new rep.

The main thing is to be careful not to bump into your colleague.

sitting press

As it turned out, the press can be pumped while sitting without folding in its original position in the middle of the office. To do this, you need to sit up straight, straighten your back, tighten your glutes, take a deep breath and sharply pull in your stomach as you exhale.

However, the oblique abdominal muscles can be worked by leaning sideways. But for the best effect, fold your hands in a lock behind your head and open your elbows to the sides.

rises on socks

Stand behind a chair and slowly rise onto your toes and then lower your heels to the floor. So repeat 20-30 times. By the way, this exercise can be done while sitting.

castle behind

Sit on the edge of a chair, keeping your back straight. Put your hands behind your back and fold your palms together, as if begging for mercy from work. Hold the pose for as long as possible and try to bring your shoulder blades together.
