Break Pal | Fitness at Your Desk

Use breaks in your day to work out.

If you sit at a desk during the day, use your desk to perform wideangle push-ups. This will do wonders for the flabby sides of the chest --- the little fat that hangs over your bikini top or bra.

To do: Place hands a little more than shoulder-width apart on the edge of your desk, with your palms down and fi ngers pointing forward. Walk four to fi ve feet away from the desk, and keep the knees locked and together. Lean your hips toward the fl oor, and don’t let your butt stick out. Keeping your abs tight, bend at the elbows and lower your chest to the top of the desk. Hold for six seconds. Repeat eight times.

Wall sit-ups can work your legs, hips and glutes.
To do: Lean with your back against the wall, then bend your legs at a right angle, as if you were sitting in a chair. Push your butt against the wall and make sure your legs and knees are together. If you want to make it harder, extend one leg straight out. Hold for 15 to 60 seconds.
