Workplace Exercises

Avoid the dreaded afternoon slump: Try a simple exercise you can do right at your desk!

desktop exercise

Desktop Push-ups

These pushups will work your chest & arms, and will increase your blood circulation, making you more alert and efficient while at work. The key to their success is slow movement.

1. Move your chair back from your desk. Place both feet firmly on the floor for support.

2. Place your hands on the edge of your desk, a little wider than shoulder distance apart.

3. Slowly (count to 4) lower your body down to the edge of your desk.

4. Slowly (count to 4) push your body back up into a sitting position.

Do 10-15 pushups.
