Exercising at work

[boots]

Since many of you have stationary jobs. Do you exercise at your desk?

 

[imjustagirl2]

I do butt clenches. And I throw things at people.

 

[Riddick]

i try to hit the gym on my break or before work. But most sports writers don't usually look like they even drive by a gym.

Try this. Not that I do it, but it gives you a body core workout while you sit and type.

Try this. Not that I do it, but it gives you a body bore workout while you sit and type.

Dwight K. Schrute swears by them. Of course, make sure your neighbors don't have a pair of scissors handy.

Not to threadjack, but I've been thinking about getting one of those for use at home. Any one want to receommend a good one? Last weekend in Target I saw one by Reebok that claimed to be less likely to slip away. Slip away. Slip away now, yeah, yeah, yeah. Unh! I need you so...

Does jerking off at your desk count?

Because I, umm... know a guy who does that.

I exercise when I am exercising and I work when I am working (although I've become pretty adept at posting like crazy on here while I work). I suppose I exercise at work. I mean, I sometimes pull down the shades and lock the door and do some activity, but it isn't exactly a total body workout.

I've seen exercise balls that sit on a metal ring with wheels... the ball isn't on the floor, so it can't slip away, and it acts more like a normal chair.

That happened at Roswell. Fortunately, it was before my tenure. Guy didn't even get fired. Just a write-up.

Very nice, but I'm just looking for a plain ol' exercize ball. I'll presume they're all pretty much the same.

 

[Idaho]

Go to Big 5, ****'s or Sports Authority, they'll have several of them for about $10.

 

[writing irish]

Gracias. Just wanted to make sure there wasn't some fantastic variation better than the rest that I'd be missing out on if I bought the cheaper ones.

 

[Dyno]

I have TERRIBLE balance and have always been afraid of those exercise balls. Would I just fall off one if I tried to sit on it?

 

[Idaho]

I go to occasional classes at the gym where we use those balls. Sitting is no problem because you can use your feet.

Push ups, crunches and lunges can be tricky, though.

Is that kind of like being able to pick things up with your toes?

 

[Buck]

Isn't the fact that the ball can slip or roll on you part of the point?
You have to slow the exercise down, forcing you to concentrate more on proper form, and you use other muscles to stabilize yourself, increasing the effectiveness of the workout.
I thought that was the point of using them.

 

[zeke12]

I just always thought people liked really big balls.

I'm just glad I don't get "bat wings."
