Sneaking In Calf Raises

Members Were Sparked

I work in food service so I'm on my feet pretty much all day. When I'm not moving or waiting for food to come up, I try and do a few calf raises. Just stand in place and raise/lower yourself on your tip toes. Speed it up and within a minute or so you will be saying "oh my aching butt"!

Sneaking in exercise

Whenever I blowdry my hair I do calf raises or squats to sneak in a few extra exercises.

work out while you work

I do leg extensions, wall push ups, calf raises, standing hip abductions, downward dog, etc while at work.

MORE INFORMATION:
It's so easy to slip in these short exercises while on the phone. You don't need any special equipment or much room to do them. I find it's a great way to stay energized and focused through out the day.

Just keep moving!

When I am doing something like washing my hands or brushing my teeth I walk in place, do calf raises, or simply just bounce. It's little spurts of activity that can add up. Being sure to do a certain number of calf raises while brushing your teeth also ensures you are brushing long enough.
