And like we said, you don't need this gear, but you will get more from your workplace workouts when you use resistance. Resistance will help you build more lean muscle mass, and muscle takes more energy to fuel than fat, so the more muscle you have on your body, the more calories you torch. How much?A pound of muscle takes ~10 calories per day to sustain. A pound of fat only takes ~3. Those are some compelling numbers--especially if your job requires that you sit on your ass most of the day. Every little bit of fat burning power can help you get closer to your fit goals.
Let's get to it! Do each of these moves 5 times through, working for 50 seconds and resting for 10 seconds.
The Total Body Burnout
Squat and Drop
Kettlebell
Notes on form: Keep your spine straight and flat. Also keep the weight of the movement in your heels and move slowly, using your muscles (not momentum) to power the move.
Curtsy Lunge + Hip Flex
Booty Bands
Notes on form: Alternate sides, doing one leg, then the other. Also be sure not to rush this movement: don’t dawdle, but be sure you’re nailing form.
Kettlebell Pass Throughs
Kettlebell
Notes on form: Keep your core engaged throughout this movement and your chest lifted.
Spider Push-Up
Weighted Vest
Notes on form: Drop to your knees, use the wall or do a standard push-up if this variation is too challenging. You want to push yourself, but you should be able to complete the movement at least the first round through. Maintain a flat spine and do not allow your hips to sag toward the floor.
The Cardio Core Workplace Workout
Jump Squats
Weighted Vest
Notes on form: Keep your chest lifted, your spine long and flat and push up from your heels while also sinking back down into them upon impact. Take out the jump if this move hurts your joints.
Reverse Abs
Pink Thing
Notes on form: Engage your core by tucking your belly-button into your spine. Do not allow your back to arch up off the floor.
Fast Feet Drop
Weighted Vest
Notes on form: Move as quickly as you can while still maintaining control--if not dignity.
Standing Back Kick
Booty Bands
Notes on form: Keep a soft bend in the supporting leg as you kick back. Engage your core throughout the movement and keep your chest lifted.
The Triple ‘A’ Workplace Workout (Arms, Ass and Abs!)
Squats + Pull-Down
Core Bands
Notes on form: Keep your chest lifted and your weight into your heels as you squat down and push up.
Kneeling Thrusts
Weighted Vest and Core Band
Notes on form: Really focus on squeezing your glutes as you reach the top of this movement.
Star Abs
Pink Thing and Weighted Vest
Notes on form: Engage your core by tucking your belly-button into your spine. Do not allow your back to arch up off the floor.
Pink Thing Curls
Pink Thing
Notes on form: Adjust the Pink Thing as necessary so you are working against a challenging, but doable, resistance. Stand tall and engage your core: do not let the resistance band pull you forward.
