In Keeping with our last Monday’s post on office exercises. This post is a follow up on the many exercises you can do at the desk. Its arms today.
Upper Body Exercises
Shoulder Raise incorporating Triceps:
Last week I mentioned the importance of drinking water and as a way to ensure you drink more, you should keep a bottle at your desk. So why not use the bottle as a weight. Sit (Stomach in chest out) and hold a full water bottle. Lift the bottle to shoulder height, hold for 10 seconds.
Then continue to lift up and over your head. Bend your elbow, taking the bottle behind you and contract those triceps. Straighten the arm and lower down, repeating for 20 times.
Don’t forget the other side!
Bulk up those guns: Bicep Curls:
Hold the same water bottle, suck in those abs in, keep your back straight (read my perfect posture tips) and curl bottle towards shoulder for 20 reps.
PHYSIO TIPS TO STAY HEALTHY AT WORK
1.Drink UP
Drinking water is a key component in maintaining good health. So stay hydrated. (read my blog post on the importance of water and tips to help you drink more). Staying hydrated will stop you from skipping a workout due to dehydration, lethargy or headaches.
2.You are what you eat so Eat well
Carry healthy snacks to work such as fruit or nuts, yoghurt, crackers etc for energy, along with a protein such as low fat cheese or nuts to keep your tummy full, which will stop you from excessive unhealthy snacking.
3. Swop the pumps for trainers
Simple but brilliant: Change into your workout clothes at work, Once you’re in gear, you’re less likely skip the gym.
UNTIL WE BLOG AGAIN, STAY ACTIVE, EVEN AT WORK!
