Chair squats strengthen your lower body, especially your quadriceps, glutes, and hamstrings. This helps improve posture and prevents stiffness from prolonged sitting.

- Lower your body as if sitting down, then push through your heels to stand back up.
- Keep your back straight and core engaged.
- Repeat for 3 sets of 15 reps
Desk Push-ups
Benefits
Desk push-ups engage your chest, shoulders, and triceps, promoting upper body strength without the need for floor space. They also improve core stability.
How to do it
- Place your hands on the edge of your desk, slightly wider than shoulder-width.
- Keep your body straight and lower yourself towards the desk, then push back up. Keep your elbows close to your sides.
- Repeat for 3 sets of 12.
Seated Leg Raises
Benefits
This exercise strengthens your lower abs and hip flexors, helping to improve circulation and mobility in your legs after long periods of sitting.
How to do it
- Sit up straight in your chair.
- Extend one leg out in front of you, holding it parallel to the floor for a moment, then lower it back down.
- Alternate legs for each rep.
- Repeat 3 sets of 10 per leg
Tricep Chair Dips
Benefits
Tricep dips target the back of your arms, enhancing upper body strength and improving muscle tone in your triceps.
How to do it
