During the lockdown, people were pushed to work from home. Even after the release of lockdown, people are working from home while others are pursuing their work at the office like before. For those of you who are working from home, you might be cautious about your fitness but if you are working in front of the screens and sitting in front of it all day, you would be much worried about your physical fitness. If you are cautious, it would be good as you would take a break and walk a few minutes but some of you might totally plunge into the work mode and never think about any other things they have to do during the day. Several sit-down workouts are possible while you are working as they are highly effective for your body. By doing so, your brain would release endorphins thereby making it flow throughout the work. So, here are some sit-down workouts which you could follow while your hands are moving.
CLENCH AND KEGEL: While you are attending a call or taking a 2-minute break on your chair, just clean your butt and release it and do it repeatedly for each hour. This would be at least helpful in crushing some calories by working on the butt. Also, you could add some kegel exercises which could be beneficial for your reproductive health when you miss your physical activity or skip your regular exercise. It could be great in soothing the period cramps too.
TONE YOUR CALVES: Toning your calf muscles is extremely an easy task. You would have already done this but you do not know you are actually toning your calves. You would not be glued to your chair all hours, sometimes you might choose to sit down on the ground and so you could place your feet on your tiptoes on the ground which could be a perfect task, and do it trouble-free as long as you could. This posture would tone your calf and work on the muscles in your feet as well.
STRETCH YOUR ARMS: Sometimes, you would feel the tension on your arms and shoulders while you sleeping and you might automatically come to the conclusion that it happens due to the working hours on the screens. You are the one who needs to watch out for your body posture as you leave it to suffer. Working on screens for long hours would create tensions and pains on your arms, shoulders, and even on your neck and so you must take time to stretch your arms to the top over your head and side for every hour. You have to do it by keeping your back completely straight and it would thus help relieve tensions on your back and shoulders and infuse rejuvenation.
LIFT YOUR THIGHS: All you have to do is to sit straight on your work desk and make sure to place your palms facing down on the tabletop and your feet to flat on the ground. Now, lift your thigh alternatively to make it touch the roof of the table, hold and set it down for your work. Since leg lifts are praised for their stimulation of blood to your feet, hips, and abdomen, you should do it every regular interval of time. You would also be surprised to know that it could be useful in toning your lower back.
GET SOME JOINT ROTATIONS: Never forget about your joints as they play a crucial role in your body. Just have some rotation on your wrists and ankles in 10 reps whenever you feel like it’s aching or cramping. Do both clockwise and anti-clockwise rotation and make your joints feel great as they turn out to be more flexible.
WORK ON YOUR KNEES: If you get some 2 to 3 minutes break, then stand up near your desk and try to make some moves for your knees by raising them high as much as possible. Well, this could be an exercise like running in a particular place but you are actually working on your knees. You could also use your palms to touch your knees while raising them high and ensure if you are doing right. This could be a perfect cardio exercise.
