to break a productivity record for the day

Adverbs of degree

by sitting at your desk a little too long.

New research shows that if your typical work day

stretches over 13 hours and doesn't allow walking

at least 4000 steps a day, you might become resistant

and a holder of a black belt in jiu-jitsu.

We're gonna do this every hour on the hour.

But I can't wear my gym clothes in the office.

The only excuse I accept is if you're dead.

So let's get started with your seated shoulder press.

You're gonna come to the edge of your chair,

Make sure it's firmly in the center of that foot.

You're gonna sit up, bring your arms out,

It's like as if you're holding up the roof.

You're increasing the strength in your deltoid muscles,

and also, when you tone those shoulders up,

Come to the front of that chair, same exact position,

arms are up, I'm pressing up, I'm pulling down.

You're gonna come towards the edge of that chair.

Arms are out, remember, do not hit your elbows

I'm gonna lift my chest, stomach is tight,

you get much more functional throughout the day.

Let's move on to your seated lat pulldowns.

and then go to the opposite side, do the same exact thing.

You're here, extend your arms out to a 45 degree angle.

Tighten those abs, and you're gonna pull all the way

towards the top of your chest, come back up to the top.

are excellent for increasing your posture.

We tend to roll forward on our phone every single day.

When you're working the posterior muscles,

it's gonna help you to pull your shoulders back,

sit upright, and you're gonna feel and look your best.

We're gonna move to your seated chest press.

The first thing we have to do is wrap the band

You're gonna lift your chest, you're gonna focus

on your arms being just like this, 90 degrees,

and you're gonna press forward and come back.

As I'm pressing out, I'm squeezing my chest muscles.

I'm really tightening my abs, and if you wanna hit

you can go to the very top and change the angle.

Great exercise for developing that chest muscle.

You're not gonna need a resistance band for this at all.

You're gonna come to the edge of that chair.

Put your hands up like as if you're about

to get into a fight, but you're not gonna fight.

Get your hands up nice and tight, though,

and you're gonna rotate, you're gonna twist.

Pretend as if I'm gonna come and punch you

in the stomach and you're clinching like (groans),

because it's increasing mobility and circulation

while you're getting some work right in the midsection.
