As we adjust into the new year and our work routine, long hours at your desk can leave you feeling stiff and fatigued. 

 

The good news is that you can incorporate a quick and effective desk workout into your daily routine to boost energy, enhance focus, and promote overall well-being. 

 

This brings us to our back-to-work desk workout that will help you stay active and energised throughout the workday!

 

Tricep Dips

Sit on the edge of your desk with your hands gripping the edge, fingers pointing forward. Walk your feet forward, lowering your body until your elbows are bent at a 90-degree angle. Push back up to the starting position. Repeat 12 times

Desk dips are effective for working your triceps and the muscles in your upper back.

 

Desk Push-Ups

Stand up and face your desk, placing your hands shoulder-width apart on the edge. Step back to create a straight line from head to heels. Lower your chest toward the desk by bending your elbows, then push back up. Complete 12 times.

Desk push-ups are an excellent way to work your chest, shoulders, and triceps.
