What are some good arm and stomach exercises that I can do in the office (see details)?

I don't want to work up a huge sweat, but I have a lot of down time and want to use the time wisely.

Bring in some light dumb bells for your arms. Check out the internet for appropriate exercises.

Google: "office exercises" and I'm sure you'll find both good arm and stomach exercises.

Good luck!

    Sit ups are easy to do in the office. I do them myself in place of a coffee break.

    Go to this website and in the directory, simply click on the muscle group that you would like to stretch.

    http://www.exrx.net/Lists/Directory.html

    Each listing has numerous simple stretches you can perform without a warmup. To do them intensively, i.e. to significantly increase flexibility and improve posture, you would need to hold them for quite some time, about 5 minutes for each muscle group. For instance, if you did an abdomen stretching session, you would want to do about 3 sets of stretches, pausing in between, for about 1 min 45 sec each, to total 5 minutes.

    However, if you are just looking to relieve some tension in the workplace, then you can do them whenever you like. I would say hold these types for at least a minute though, 30 secs for your muscles to relax and loosen, and then 30 more for you to advance the stretch a bit further.

    For workplace stretches, I would highly recommend the forearm and wrist stretches, to relieve pressure which could build to carpal tunnel syndrom. Also, shoulder, chest, and neck stretches are also great to counteract sitting in a chair all day and help posture. Back stretches do this as well, every now and then you might want to just do a brief, light backbend when you get up. That is also good for the abs. One of my favorite stretches is just taking a towel in your two hands at each end, palm grip down, starting in front of your body, and then moving your arms upwards and behind your body. It's great for shoulders, chest, back, and slightly abs.

    Hope this helps.

    P.S. I thought you said arm and stomach stretches! Sorry! These are still good though! Haha.
