Chair Workout for Office Workers
"I can't even lift my head," "My lower back hurts so bad!" In the office, you often hear such complaints. In fact, the office is also a great place for exercise. Although it doesn't have tennis courts, running tracks, or soccer goals, it still has a small space of its own.
If your chair is sturdy, you can hold onto the backrest and repeatedly lift and lower your heels. This small exercise can strengthen your skeletal muscles and is also very helpful for shaping your calves.
If you want to work your abs, sit on the chair, hold the armrests with both hands, and lift your feet together, trying to extend them straight up. This can exercise your abdominal muscles and thighs, making your figure more perfect. Exercising the abdominal muscles can also help protect your internal organs.
Lumbar spine diseases have always plagued office workers. During a break, hold the backrest of the chair with both hands and kick one leg back, alternating between left and right, repeating dozens of times. This can effectively strengthen your waist and help you avoid the troubles of lumbar spine diseases.
If you want to work your torso, stand up straight, hold the backrest of the chair with both hands, keep your body straight, and tilt your head back to look at the ceiling, maintaining a posture as if gazing at the moon. At this time, your body is in a reverse bend, which is very beneficial for your spine's health and also helps exercise your cervical spine.
