Elementary Workout Schedules for Office- and Home Workers COMPILED BY DEAN AMORY

SITTING IS KILLING YOU! I selected for you a series of workouts that you can easily do at the office or at home, a lot of them even while you are working or talking on the phone. The variety of schedules published here after, allows you to pick a different schedule every day and skip any exercises which you might not like or feel are unable to do at any given time. The intention is not that you should read this manual as a book, nor that you should execute complete lists of training exercises one after the other, but rather that you should single out a couple of exercises every day and actually do them. It might be a good idea to mark the exercises as you make your way through the manual, and indicate which exercises you find helpful at home or/and in the office. During work or/and during your personal pauses. REMEMBER: AT ANY GIVEN TIME, ALMOST ANY MOVEMENT IS BETTER THAN NO MOVEMENT!
