Twist away your waistline

Begin by sitting at your desk, keeping your knees and hips forward. While holding a water bottle at chest level, twist to the right as far as you can without straining. You should feel your abdominal muscles contract. Twist back to the center. Repeat the entire exercise ten times, on each side.

Heel raises

Hold on to the back of a seat or an overhead bar for support. Keep your feet hip-width apart and slowly raise your heels off the floor. Try to remain erect and don’t tip forward. Hold each heel raise for 20 to 30 seconds. Relax and then repeat five to 10 times.

Chair squats

With your feet together and your soles flat on the floor, press into your feet to lift your pelvis a few inches off your seat. Keep your body weight shifted back into your heels and your tailbone tucked in. Hold for a few seconds, and then sit back down. Repeat two to four more times.
