One of the best, and easiest, ways to work out is to get rid of your regular office chair. Then, substitute it for one of those large workout balls. By sitting on the ball and maintaining good posture (which is naturally forced by the ball), you will get a full body work out. That's because your body's muscles, including the abs, legs, arms and back muscles, will constantly be engaged.

These are exercises to do at your desk.

The best exercise for a flatter stomach (while sitting in a chair) - Lift your legs (both, or one at a time) a few inches off of the floor and put them back down. You can do small quick lifts or you can hold each lift for a few seconds.

For upper body - Reach for the sky with both arms or with one arm at a time.
You can also reach for the left top corner of your computer with your right hand. Reach for the right top corner with your left hand.

To trim your waist - Twist your upper body from one side to the other.
Lean to the left, then lean to the right.

Each of the exercises can be done through the day, several times a day.

if you have an office chair, you can twist back and forth. dont move the top half of your body. that will work your abdomen and upper body muscles. if you hold onto the edge of your desk, it also works your arms.

I myself work all day long on my comp and that's causing a lot of stress to my muscles. Then, I came across an article in the Femina Magazine where it suggested some ways to stay fit and keep muscles relaxed. You, too, can try the following ways:
At regular intervals, rotate your wrist, shoulders, neck and loosen up yr fingers. Also, if you contract your abs muscles and sit straight, you wont tend to put on weight. You should also keep stretching yr back.
Offcourse, the words are not the same as given by the expert in the magazine, but yes, I tried my best to explain.

One good excersice that is good for your core muscles is to draw the alphabet with your foot, do it on each side.

Another thing that you can do is strectch especially your torso, so take your arms and pretend that you are reaching something in the sky.

Hope it helps!

There are lots of 'instant exercise' programmes that can be performed at a desk, but most of them involve stopping what you're doing so that you can grip your chair, use your feet to lift the waste-paper basket, etc.

In reality, the best 'desk exercise' is GOOD POSTURE.

'Just sitting', without thinking about the shape your body falls into, is a good way to put pressure on your spine, reduce your lung capacity, interfere with your blood circulation and digestion, and depress your metabolism.

But if you keep reminding yourself to 'sit actively', you will soon develop a habitual posture that can prevent these effects from happening.

The main idea is to feel that your head is 'pulling' the rest of your body upwards, instead of falling downwards on top of everything else.

Pilates or Alexander Technique can teach you a more sophisticated version of the method, so that you can use many different 'directions' and 'cues' to help change the way you habitually sit.
