Will exercise at work add to my weight loss plan?

Is your day packed with loads and loads of schedules and meetings? After office, are you managing a lot of personal chores? No time for exercising to meet your weight loss targets?

Yes. You can do small exercises at your workplace itself. Here are some tips.

Desk Exercises

You can perform some wrist stretches, back twist, leg extension, hip flexing, inner thigh exercises and so on right at your desk. Or, you can perform some standing exercises in your cabin itself. These include leg lifting and flexing the hip while standing.

Use the water bottle

You can use the filled water bottle as a weight and lift it with your hands. First lift the bottle with your right hand and then with the left hand. Repeat it for five times. Or, you can curl the bottle towards your shoulder. Repeat this alternately with both the hands.

Exercise in the lunch break

You can choose a variety of exercises during your lunch break. Going to the office gym or going out for a walk are the options during the lunch break. Walk for half an hour in the lunch break so that you can bun some more calories. This will add to your weight loss plan too!

Take frequent breaks

Researches suggest that exercise at office improves productivity! So, try to fit in exercise in between your meetings and sessions. For every one hour take a short walk to any other department or the coffee machine or to the loo. Remember that even a slight move will burn calories. Use every opportunity to burn calories even at your workplace.
