Work Out Right at Your Desk!

Can't find a spare moment to hit the gym? No worries --sneak in a workout at the office! The fitness pros over at Shine!.com suggest doing performing these sweat-free exercises while you're waiting for a client, on the phone or ditch the coffee break for a quick calorie burn.

--Wall Sit. Just like the name says, plop your hind quarters somewhere besides the chair while reading, opening mail or talking on the phone.

--The Plank. Hit the floor and prop youself up on your elbows with the rest of your body straight. This is a total toner and you only need 20-100 seconds to feel the burn.
--Jumping Jacks. Activate your brain and get the blood pumping!

--Heel Rises. These are probably the most incognito move on the list. Lift up and down while waiting for the elevator or during that hour-long conference call. Put your feet in a "V" for an extra bonus for the hind quarters.

--Butt Squeezes. No one will know you're tightening those glutes. Hold your cheeks in tight for ten-second stretches.

--Stand Up and Sit Down. Do this as many times as possible while tucking in your buns and abs.
