5-Minute Office Workout

Msn.com had a featured health tid-bit on their front page this morning and I'm such a sucker for clicking on anything that tells me I can do a work-out in the office.

Like many people I spend a good part of my day sitting on my arse behind a desk. Bob Harper has some fantastically easy ways to make sure you take a few minutes each hour to do some calorie burning. Something as simple as sitting down and standing up over a 60-second period each hour automatically gets you doing squat-like exercise to work your thighs and buns! Man, why didn't I think of that!? It's genius!

He also suggests sitting on an exercise ball while at your desk. You can keep an exercise ball in your office and switch it out for your desk chair every now and then. He says it will help you to build up your core strength. Brilliant!

And um, you can tell by the photo he is an expert at fitness. ;o)
