In Office Workouts

Finding the time to exercise while hard at work is a struggle. Most people say they don’t have the time, or rather use their free time working so they can leave earlier.

The workout I feel is most effective for me is the office ab workouts, which can be done by simply sitting on an exercise ball. Here are four parts of the body that I focus on everyday while completing my in office workouts.
