Hi Jess, here are a few suggestions for you while being at a desk for an 8 hour period. Good luck!
Leg Extension: Sit in chair, abs in. Extend left leg until level with hip. Hold for 2 seconds, repeat other side.
Hip Flexion: Sitting in chair, lift left foot off the floor a few inches, knee bent. Hold 2 seconds and repeat other side.
Inner Thigh: Place full water bottle between knees and, keeping abs in, squeeze bottle gently. Repeat.
Chair squats: Periodically while sitting, lift butt off of seat and hover overseat for 2-3 seconds. Stand up and repeat.
Dips: Make sure your chair is stable and place your hands on the chair next to your hips. Move hips in front of the chair and bend elbows, lowering your body until your elbows are at 90 degree angle. Hold for 2-3 seconds and repeat.
Standing Hip Flexion: Stand with abs in, spine straight. Lift leg up until level with hip. Hold for 2 seconds, repeat other side.
Leg Lift: In same starting position as above, lift left leg straight out to the side a few inches off the floor. Hold for 2 seconds, repeat on the other side.
Front Raise: Sit in chair, abs in and your spine straight. Hold water bottle in right hand and raise arm up to shoulder level. Hold 2-3 seconds and change arms, repeat.
Bicep Curl: Hold water bottle in right hand, and with abs in and spine straight, curl bottle towards shoulder. Switch to other side and repeat.
Abs: Sit on the edge of chair, arms extending in front. Keeping back straight, contract the abs and slowly lower torso towards back of chair. Hold 2-3 seconds and repeat.
Curls: Cross arms over chest and sit up straight. Contract abs and curl shoulder towards hips, pulling abs in. Hold for 2 seconds and repeat.
