Deskercise



Recommended Posts

So I work in a call center & I was wondering if anyone has any good idea about some Exercises I can do at my desk in my chair or with out a chair.. it's a small cubical so I don't have much room but I'm there anywhere between 8-16 hours a day. Let me know if you come up with anything clever.

There's actually a little foot pedal cycler that goes under your desk. It mimics the moves of a bicycle.

I do leg lifts to the side and the back (contracting the muscles). I also stand on the balls of my feet and raise my ankles. It works the muscles in my calves and thighs.

Deskercise...:) .....I have a resistance band I do shoulders, biceps, lats and forearms with. Luckily I have a office so I can shut the door for 1 minute while I bang the shoulders out. I do bicep curls all day, with door open. I just put the band under my feet and pull the two handles up. You can increase and decrease the resistance by holding your feet down closer to the handles. Guns are getting toned..... Amazing what 200 curls a day will do :) here is an informative article . I think I paid like $30 for mine.... Watch out for all the camera phone flashes :), dont wanna end up on YouTube's most watched list:)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
