1. Desk Exercise – Browse Pinterest for a few workouts you can complete at your desk. My favorite are leg lifts which you can do while sitting down.

2. Take Breaks – Don’t skip on your breaks. Go for a walk on your 15 minute break or switch it up and walk for an hour while you enjoy a meal during the shorter breaks.

3. Office Workout – Everyone isn’t lucky enough to be within a short distance of a gym; bring your yoga mat or a some workout equipment to enjoy a satisfying workout during lunch.

4. Walk Around the Office or Building – Utilize what’s at your fingertips. Get up and walk! If its a rainy day there is no excuse you can utilize the staircase or the entire building. No one has to know what you’re doing unless you tell them.

5. Park Far– This is an easy way to break in some exercise to the start of your day.

6. Skip the Elevator- Now this will take a little more discipline but if your up for it, give it a try. This will get your heart racing and burning calories in no time.
