Weight loss at work?!


Question:

Weight loss at work?

Yesterday, I went for my physical and found that I have gained 20 lbs. over the past 18 months. I really want to take the weight off and get back in shape. I eat a very healthy organic diet based on whole grains, lean protein, and produce, so I know my diet is not the issue...it's exercise. I did start a new job recently that requires me to sit behind a desk all day. I was wondering if anyone has some ideas as to how to incorporate more exercise into my work day, as my evenings are consumed by school work. Is there anything I can do at my desk to burn more calories?

Ahhh....Andy. You're bored, huh?


Answers:

I sit at a desk all day long also so I know how easy it can be to start packing on the pounds while not eating much.

Google isometric exercises. An isometric exercise is where you use the force of your own body weight and strength against itself. You can do these anywhere and no one will even know when you are doing them. There almost isn't a part of your body that you can't work out with isometric exercises and you do them when ever you think about it.

If you get 2 breaks and a 30 minute lunch, take 30 minutes a day if possible and walk. You'll still have the other 30 minutes to eat lunch or be with your friends.

What I like is that not only does no one know when you are doing them, it also doesn't break you into a sweat.

You can also do them while doing school work.
