The Top Ten
1 Choose the stairs instead of the elevator.

Burn extra calories and get a good cardiovascular workout at the same time by making stair climbing a regular routine.

That's right, stairs can lose weight and burn calories while the elevator is just a lazy thing to do.

2 Try shadow boxing for 2 minutes if you have a little privacy in your office or have access to an empty conference room.

It's a great workout, and "punching" an invisible opponent may help reduce stress too!

3 Instead of taking a coffee break, take a walking break.

Walk outside or do laps around the office or lunch room.

Yeah, take a walking break to the furthest coffee shop.

NO COFFEE?!?! I'LL GO RAVING MAD!

4 Do one-legged squats, holding onto your desk or a table for support

Repeat 5 times on each leg.

5 Walk to work or ride your bike for a workout that saves gas money too
6 Sit on a fitness ball rather than using a desk chair to improve your balance and strengthen your core muscles.
7 Stretch to reduce stress and improve posture

Sit up tall and reach both hands toward the ceiling as far as possible. Hold for 5 seconds, then alternate reaching with each arm.

8 Try to touch your shoulder blades together.

Hold for 5 seconds, then relax.

9 Walk on your lunch hour or, better yet, join a gym and spend your mid-day break getting fit.

That's what I do.

10 Stand whenever you can.

It may not be as good as walking, but it's always better than sitting.

The Contenders
11 Use the Computer (It Excercises Your Thumbs)

My lazy boss just looks for little reasons to be on her computer do she doesn't have to do any physical work
