Every time you visit the bathroom throughout the work day, do a 30-90 second wall-sit. You'll end up doing lots of wall sits, especially if you've upped your water intake.
MORE INFORMATION:
If you have a private space, such as an empty meeting room, duck in on your way back to your desk and do 10 pushups too.

This might sound weird, but it works! If you work in an office setting that has individual bathrooms, sneak in a few extra exercise minutes throughout the day. Every time I visit the powder room, I sneak in 30 wall pushups. Since I've increased my water intake, this often means 90-120 pushups/day!
I have two motivation collages posted up in my bathroom around my mirror. I had hopes that it would help keep my motivated, but I didn't realize that every time I do anything in front of that mirror, I find myself contently reading the quotes and looking at the pictures. I also have a list of goals on the wall just above the light switch, so I see it every time I walk in and out of the bathroom. It really does keep me motivated!
