I really enjoy a good workout, but on certain days time is at a premium and I can’t get out of the house. On these days, I like to involve the kids in exercise around my office. I can easily grab a phone call and can get a good 15 minute workout under my belt. If you don’t have children, you’ll probably be able to do a little more intense workouts as you won’t have to worry about the short attention span from your little trainers.

Here are 5 fast and easy desk exercise ideas for your home office:

1. Push-ups: Great upper body workout and if your back is in good shape you can have your little get on too.

2. Sit-ups: Have your kids hold your feet. You can also push your feet together so you can both do a sit-up.

3. Jumping jacks: These were fun when you were a kid and they still are great for cardio. Challenge yourself until you are short of breath. You’ll be surprised how many your kids can do.

4. Touch your toes: Sounds easy, but try doing it with one foot slightly off the ground. Your body and muscles will have to adjust for the balance and give you a great workout. Your kids can count with you.

5. Stretching: You can start this before your desk exercise or after. Involve your children and show them all the fun stretching exercises you learned in school. This is a great opportunity to tell them about the various muscle groups and even challenge them to spell out the words. Can you spell hamstring?

A good workout routine can help alleviate stress at any job, but if you are working from home you might only have time for 15 minutes of desk exercise. Turn off your computer or close your laptop and enjoy this time to workout. 15 minutes will give you mental time away from work and get a good burn for your muscles.
