Raise your hand if you have a hard time making time for exercise.... *this girl!!!*

You might have the whole nutrition part dialed in, and that's great!!! Most experts believe that 80% of your body composition is determined by your diet. But do you want to look okay? or FIT!!

With a toned image, you will feel better in your own skin, increase your metabolic rate, and improve your posture, flexibility, - the list goes on. I'm sure you know the benefits, you just have a hard time with execution.

So, today's "fitness desk tip" is the standing lunge which looks like this...

Place your right foot out in front of you and drop your left knee toward the floor. Raise back up and bring your right foot back to start.
(A bit shaky or weak? Your office chair or desk can provide assistance to help you find your balance. Safety and form are priority - not speed!)
Then you will simply switch this motion with your left foot and right knee.
Alternate these movements for 30 seconds to start (if you can) and increase the time.
Advanced move: add hand weights and bicep curls on the way down.

Your thighs, core, hamstrings, glutes, will tell you how much they love you with a good burning. Do not do this to the point of physical pain, and be sure you have your doctor's blessing to be participating in exercise.

Over the next few weeks, we'll be adding other "at your desk" exercise movements to develop a "desk set."

If you're on Pinterest, you'll be able to organize them and view them all here
