How to Get Fit While You Sit at a Computer


Losing weight is a big challenge for most people, and many people find it hard to fit exercise into their busy and hectic lifestyles. Most may not realize however that there are several simple ways that people can get fit even if they are tied to a computer screen all day long. Maintaining a healthy diet as well as regular exercise is obviously important, there are some quicker and easier ways to work out while you are sitting at your desk. Following a few simple steps for a few minutes a day will help you strengthen and even tone muscles without ever having to leave your desk.


Tightening While Typing

      Step 1

Working on squatting will help you to lose the weight quickly. If you squat instead of using a chair to sit while typing you are more likely to strengthen muscles in your legs. Doing squats for a few minutes at a time will also help your balance. If you are not able to squat for longer periods of time purchase an exercise ball and use this instead of a chair to sit on. The ball will help you maintain your posture while in front of the computer. Good posture is proven to help build a better core strength.

      Step 2

While sitting with your feet on the floor you can work your calves. Making sure your feet are planted in front of you,  raise your heels, then make sure you are on the balls of your feet and then lower then back to their starting position. Do this ten times, making sure each time you can feel the burn in your calf muscles.
 
      Step 3

Tighten your abdominal muscles for thirty seconds at a time. Repeat this while sitting can help tone tummy muscles. Do the same with your buttock muscles, clench the muscle for thirty seconds and then release the tension.

      Step 4

Stretching your muscles is also important in order to stay fit and healthy. Using your head and your chest shrug your shoulders up and down. Repeat a few times until you notice the difference in tension in your body. Doing a few neck rolls are also important. Relax your shoulders then let your head tilt downward, rotating your head in a circle at least six times.

Next, stretch your legs out in front of you lifting one at a time off the ground, hold the first leg in place for five seconds, then try it with the other leg. Try to get each leg level with your hips, because the higher you raise your leg the more muscles you will be toning.
