THANK YOU!!
Pigeon pose. On a mat not floor.
Oops I do planks!!
Wow, your body rocks MizFit.
I bring a jumprope and do it before work, but LOVE when you said fitness breaks not coffee breaks.
I RUN
I always run to work and school when I can.
I will add in Egg Beaters and resistance training if I’ll get those arms.
First, you have amazing arms… love and want them and Second, I will forward this on to my husband who compares sitting behind a desk to being tortured. xo have a great day.
Walking lunges!!
I wonder if I could do these moves without sweating?
THANK YOU for the ability to turn off the sound and watch.
My house is still sleeping.
I usually just do office push-ups.
Me too.
Love the leg lifts under the table. Quite hillarious when I accidentally kick someone unsuspectedly however
Happy Hump Day!
I walk and don’t send emails when I can.
I hope this adds up?
What do you think?
HECK YES IT ADDS UP.
Im such a believer in viewing our day through the lens of “where can I fit in a little fitness?” because every.single.thing.adds.UP!
great job.
great tips~ I love fitting in dips and pushups when i can!
Great tip on the using the wall for lunges.
I hadn’t thought about t hat.
I usually do wall sits as I read briefs.
Squats over my desk chair!!
BURPEES!!!
Great fun! I love my office yoga ball! My balance needs all the help it can get!
Your arms in that shirt are badass!!!
I’m starting this today and thank you for the ability to turn off my sound.
I try to walk around as much as possible. I used to do the stairs a lot or walk around the parking lot.
I’ve organized a walking group at lunch.
This is great! Pinned.
I’m all about the leg extensions under the conference room table! And “potty squats” in the rest room. You’re doing one anyway, so just add a few more. It’s also a good time to practice those kegels. :-0
That “sitting on the wall” exercise is killer!
I usually go to the bathroom and do back bridges.
This really stretches out my hips, abdominals, and chest which can all get tight from sitting.
First – those are like my fave shoes of yours ever!!! SO cute. #end12yroldgirlmoment Second – love the captioned workout (perfect for watching with sleeping kiddos too)!
Oh Mizzy. You in real clothes?!
I missed the workout I was so distracted.
Hee hee.
Hmm… am gonna have to think about that one. I have glass walls on my office!
Though I do go to the gym during my working day, so hopefully that counts!
Deb
I LIKE THAT! Nothing says ‘join me in my healthy living’ more than glass walls for your office workout!
Great ideas! I’m going to do some leg extensions now
i think each office should have a mandatory “MIZFIT office break.” whatcha think?
Yes!
LOVE IT!!!! You look great & love that top!!!!
So easy to do this in an office! I like the squat sits & push-ups but real easy – BUTT SQUEEZES – and can do those on a commute too!
Thx to Egg Beaters for sponsoring you & letting us see all these fun videos of you!
I work at home. I guess I could do mostly everything in my office while I’m printing a job or on the phone maybe. I also take breaks to just stretch because sitting in that chair all day is really rough on the back.
I need to do these in my home office.
They should put their on their site next to the recipes LOL
I like doing seated calf raises too when I’m stuck at desk for awhile…my legs are constantly moving…and dips!
and wow I dont even own a real bra!!!!
butt clenches!!!
I don’t SIT — I STAND at my desk most often (I am at the front desk). Love it.
I like to just flex and unflex my glutes while sitting! Makes for a great burn and no one can tell you’re doing it!
I do squats when ever I need to get something from a drawer or below the cupboard.
Between my many groups of kids I do a combination of push-ups, deep squats and/or lunges. Then I walk really fast to gather my next group- and I run the stairs.
oh and twice a week after work, I teach a yoga/stretching class at my school…
GREAT to see this Carla! And it’s SO IMPORTANT! More studies are revealing that the 30-60 minutes a day at the gym is NOT enough! That it’s moving throughout the day that makes the most difference, with the workouts being the icing on the cake. Hmmm…gotta find another metaphor!
So…workouts being the finishing touch to a well-structured day of using the body as it was intended to be used: MOVEMENT and ACTIVITY!
And yes! As always, you look AMAZING!
I sit too much at the office.
Love the ‘plank during conference call’ idea.
One of the (few) perks of being short — i stand at desks so i don’t have to sit all day. You have great ideas to add to it.
Great tip about the desk.
Our office carpets are nasty!
I’m not sure I have the guts to do this at work!
When I was working in a traditional office, I would try to reduce my emails to co-workers and walk to their offices to talk. I would also sometimes walk around my office while I was on long conference calls. I never tried the strength training moves. Great tips!
I love sitting on my exercise ball for part of the day. It doesn’t add anything in terms of time, but requires my core muscles to work a bit hard to stay balanced, especially when I’m reaching for stuff that’s not in front of me!
While I’m waiting for my afternoon snack (Smart Pop Kettle Corn!) I do a wallsit. I also like to take a 3pm stroll on nice days with a coworker, and there’s an empty office that I occasionally sneak into to crank out 10 pushups!!
At the office I like to mix up how I’m working at my desk by switching between sitting on my yoga ball, kneeling on the ground or working at the higher plan table while standing.
Cslf raises, bicep curls, tricep ext and a 1 mi walk at lunch!! Thanks!!!
I asually do some planks, squats, and walking lunges. There are many exercises you can do at home and office.
I do wall sits and lunges. Keeps the tush happy!
I work in a retail setting. I walk as quickly as I can as often as I can across the floor every chance I get. Wall push-ups are also a favorite.
Always walking lunges around my cube area!
Those are all great ideas. I don’t work in an office but at home I try not to sit at the computer for more than an hour. I have a two story house so I go up and down those stairs many, many times a day. House hold chores and cleaning are a great work out too!
Love those egg whites and use them all the time.
I run stairs!
i love doing calf raises!!
I JUST posted a pic of my EB egg whites! I do body weight squats in the office to wake up… and always take the stairs to get to the 8th floor.
I like talking walking breaks around the building or outside if it’s a nice day. And if there’s an empty break room, I use the area for some nice long yoga stretches!
Great exercises! I want your arms!!!!
I like doing dips and lunges. Well, I don’t like doing them actually, but I make myself do them…
Love it! I think I need to lose my desk chair entirely…or maybe just squat over it.
You need to see this- I can’t believe you and buddies haven’t posted about this!
http://evenhotels.com/gallery
Or maybe you have and I missed it…
Hmmm…… I like to do isometric transverse abdominal exercises.
Love seeing you all dressed up! 
You do the office thing well. 
I’m trying out an exercise ball instead of a desk chair! Not sure I’m loving it though. I really miss being able to put my feet onto the chair base:(
I always forget the isometrics.
I need to add those back in.
I do squats behind my chair
Love the shirt (and a bra? oh my!).
I rose to your challenge yesterday; 100 squats, pushups, tricep dips, bicycle crunches and alternating lunges, a few at a time, all day long!
What’s up tomorrow?
You had me at your arms.
I will dip dip dip.
What probably prevents most people from doing this is that they’d feel silly. If that’s the case- try and get a group to do it together. It can be a fun break in the day.
You are looking fancy!
I do nothing at work except sometimes take the stairs.
Bad Faith
Taking the stairs over the elevator…8 floors baby!
You are looking all done up!
Taking the stairs instead of the elevator, but also as a quick way to get up and moving every few hours. My office is freezing, so a few trips up and down the stairs warms me right up!
I work at home, so I really have no excuse if I am not busy to hit my bike trainer, do some squats, get on the stability ball
It’s just a matter of doing it.
I take the stairs! All the bathrooms are on the 3rd floor and we are in the basement so while I do not spend a lot of time at the office when I do I never use the elevators for anything!
I hold my abs in as tight as I can while sitting up straight and tall keeping my torso tight – good for my abs & back muscles
I make sure to get up once an hour and stretch my legs by walking around doing a flight of stairs too
I do squats and lunges as I file and make copies
Being on the fourth floor I only take the stairs up and down all day long
Calf raises!
My go-to, anywhere exercise is pushups! I try to do 75 each day, and my goal is to be able to do 100 in a row by the end of the year!
Great ideas! I like to do the leg extensions when I am sitting here at my my home computer.
OMG you are looking all professional-ish and stuff.
Great tips! I will try next time I am on a conference call
Confession time…. I have never tried Egg beater whites but I am a go buy some today and give it a whirl
My company has made employee health a priority and one of the things they did for us is send everyone resistance bands. I like to use it while on conference calls and I’ll also just get up and pace around while on a call. And I do love Egg Beaters, so I hope I win
I can do whatever I want to in my office, as I have my own office!
You’re crazy, Carla, but you might be onto something here.
I did this over the weekend.
I’m gonna say it! Yes, I’m going there. Kegels! Love these videos!
I do push ups! Because I want arms like you
YAY! I love these! I have been challenging myself to to one each month as well!
