10 Minute Workouts You Can Do At Your Desk (Peanut Butter Fingers)

This blog post was inspired by my friend Leah who requested a blog post about short workout routines that can easily be done at your desk!

When I worked at a desk for 8 hours a day, I often felt restless and did my best to get up and move every so often, even if the movement was only a short walk to the water fountain and back. Every little bit of movement counts and below you will find three short 10-minute workout routines you can do at your desk (with your office door closed if there are people around – unfortunately the workouts aren’t really practical for cubicles). You can also do them in your living room when you get home from work if you don’t have the time or energy to make it out to the gym.

None of the exercises below require equipment, but you can grab some dumbbells to add an element of strength training if you have them on hand. And if you have time to complete a 10-minute workout before work, one during lunchtime and a final 10-minute workout once you get home, you will have logged 30 minutes of activity without stepping foot in the gym. Woop!
