Work Out Anywhere!!

    So its Monday again, and life has gotten in the way. You have a busy workday ahead, and your not even sure you will be able to fit in lunch, let alone a workout. Well you can do things at work that can help improve your health and add some exercise to your day. The video below is a instructional video that shows you some things you can do at work, at your desk. The workout only takes 15 mins and most moves can be done without much interruption to your workday.


Recent research shows that sitting stationary for a extended period of time can cause serious health problems. When sitting for extended periods of time through out the day causes the body to go into "shut down" mode. Sitting for an extended period of time increases the risk of death from cardiovascular disease and cancer. Even if you workout at the gym a few times a week, it wont off set the results of sitting. So standing and walking at every opportunity is the best solution. Try taking a walk during lunch, standing up at your desk every so often, and walking to a coworkers desk rather than calling them. Some workplaces now even offer a stand up to treadmill workstation.
