Daily Office Chair Exercises

Filed under: Blog — 5 Minutes for Me @ 5:00 am

 

I wanted to put together some simple, easy, effective exercised that anyone could do. Something that would make it so simple, even the busiest people would have time for it. You don’t have to go anywhere, you don’t need to get changed; all you need is your computer, a chair, and you.

Each day this week I’ll be posting a different exercise that can be done in front of your computer, while sitting in your chair. These exercises are easy to follow and are appropriate for most fitness levels. These exercises are perfect for people who have little time away from the office, people who have limited space, or are just getting started and want to ease into exercise slowly. Whatever your reason, give it a try. A little exercise is a good way to clear your mind for a minute, get your body moving a help you to feel energized throughout your day.

Try a new exercise each day this week, then look out for some mini chair workouts in the near future.

Take time to take care of you each day, it will benefit you and everyone who depends on you. To give your best you have to be at your best, so look for what makes you best and everyone wins.
