Are you feeling the pinch of your pants waist while you are tethered to your desk job? There are many things you can do to fight the "deskjob gut."

Difficulty: Moderate

Instructions

Step 1

Walk around the office every 30 ~ 60 minutes. Get coffee/water or get out of the building to get some fresh air. Read documents while standing.
Step 2

Use the stairs. Sit up straight when sitting down. Try keeping your gut sucked in and tight for 30 second intervals while working (this is not easy as it sounds.)
Step 3

Carry our briefcase or laptop bag in your hand. You can even use it as a dumbbell while walking. Further the bag is away from the body while doing curls or lifts, the more exercise you'll get.
Step 4

Use post it notes to remind you to strech while at the desk.
Step 5

Finger grip exerciser is a cheap and simple tool that can be used in the office.
Step 6

Desk pushups. From standing position, lean unto the desk and do pushups while keeping your abs and upper body rigid.
