5 Exercises You Can Do While Sitting in a Chair

If you're like me and spend a lot of time sitting in a chair, here are some exercises for you to try:

1. March in place.
2. Bounce your baby in your lap (or bounce a heavy object if you don't have a baby) and feel the burn in your thighs!
3. Hit your knees together.
4. Using your abs, don't let your feet touch the floor. If you're short like me and your feet don't touch the floor anyway, lift them up higher or straighten them out and raise them to chair level.
5. Straddle the chair (a leg on each side instead of to the front) and do calf raises. This will also stretch out your inner thighs.
