Quick Exercises Add Up!

Every time I go to the kitchen at work for food (5x a day) I add quick exercises.
15 Wall Pushups
15 Closed Arm Wall Pushups
20 Calf Raises from a step

I've noticed that I can do more regular pushups since I started my quick exercises throughout my work day.

Break it up

I've found breaking my fitness into 5-10 minute mini sessions of exercise makes it more doable during the day. Everyone has 5 minutes here and there that they aren't doing anything. During those moments do a quick set of 3 different exercises. Something like this 25 wall pushups, 25 squats and 25 jumping jacks. You've worked 3 different muscle groups and gotten in a quick burst of cardio 104
