Exercise At your Desk to get a Flat Stomach


Desks, office chairs, and cubicles don’t have to get in the way of getting in shape or working out a few kinks. In fact, you can even use them to your advantage. Just don’t get caught.

You can't go to the gym? You can have a workout in your office! You will be amazed at the results that can be achieved by implementing these simple Stomach exercises in the privacy of your office.

Chair exercises for lower abs



Sit in a chair with good posture. Pretend there is a band that stretches from the bottom or your spine to the top of your head. Place your feet on the ground, hip-width apart, directly in front of you.

  1. Sit with perfect posture on the front edge of your chair with your back straight and your neck relaxed.
  2. Raise your knees toward your chest and then slowly lower them back to the floor.

Knee Extensions

To do a knee extension strengthens the front of your thigh, also known as your quadriceps.  To do this exercise, simply straighten you knee joint and squeeze your quads for 2-4 seconds, then releasing. I recommend 10-12 times on each side.

  • Make sure your posture is straight and tall
  • Keep your other leg bent for stability
  • Breathe!


Alternating Leg Lifts with cross Body Crunch


  • Sit in a Chair
  • Sit up tall
  • Chest is lifted
  • Lift right leg with knee bent
  • Lace hands behind the head
  • Take left elbow towards right knee
  • Switch sides

Do not do this exercise if you have chronic back problems. It requires a twist, which is helpful for building abdominal muscles, but can compromise existing problems. Always keep your stomach muscles contracted for the full duration of the exercise.



If you have a private office: 

In a straight firm chair, sit with your feet flat on the floor. Crosses his arms over his chest (similar to the movement that would make a crack in the ground) bend the chest down and toward your knees until you feel your abs tighten. Return to the starting position and repeat. Just be sure to keep your arms below the shoulders.

Remember that we are human beings, built to move, walk and be mobile. Most of us however are relegated to a desk and computer so make sure to take time to do good for your body!

The Greatest 5 Lower Abs Exercises


we got a lot of questions about Stomach Exercises in our facebook page and twitter, I'd write an Article about 5 Great Stomach Exercises but I didn't focus on Lower Abs, in this Article I'll share with you 5 of the Greatest Lower Abs Exercises.

Here are 5 of the most effective Lower Abs Exercises. In fact these five exercises are free from all that annoying routine of sit-ups that are super exhausting and not that effective.

These 5 Lower Abs Exercises can be carried out in a circuit fashion for an outstanding abdominal exercise that will assist in burning belly fat exclusive of forcing any stress on your lower back.

1. Planks 

 This move really engages the core and it's one I had to work up to being able to do. Lay on your stomach, toes tucked beneath you. Place forearms flat on the ground shoulder width apart. Sucking in your tummy raise your body from the ground and hold for 30 seconds. Do this two times daily.



2. Hanging Knee/Leg Raises

 This is an advanced lower abs exercise that requires something that you can hang from, such as a pullup bar.



  1. Begin by holding onto an overhead bar and hanging loosely in the air. Actively pack your shoulders down onto your ribcage so that your shoulders are not elevated up near your ears. It will feel like a strong muscular contraction to get your shoulders down, much like the start of a pullup. If you’re facing a mirror, you should see little “diamonds” of air between your arms and neck. This is your starting position.
  2. Exhale and slowly lift your legs up in the air in front of you, folding at the hips. Try to time the depth of your exhale with how high you lift your legs. The higher you lift, the more you exhale. If your strength levels allow, do these with straight legs. If not, simply bring your thighs up to your belly until you can practice with extended legs.
  3. Once your legs are as high as you can lift them, pause for a moment to regain control of the movement. You should have very little or no air in your lungs.
  4. Then, allow your legs to lower under control until you are hanging again. Do not swing up or down, as this will negate the effects on the lower abs.
  5. Perform 1-3 sets for 10-20 slow repetitions.

3. Torso Twist

A- Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and Grasp a Ball in front of you, (or a bag of flour) at chest level, with your arms extended.

B- With your hips square and abs tight, breathe out as you slowly rotate your upper body about 45 degrees to the right. Return to the center and repeat on your left side. Complete 10 reps.





4. Captain's Chair


All you need to do this exercise is a chair.
(works the lower rectus abdominis)

  • Sit on the chair with your spine straight and shoulders relaxed.
  • Keep both hands beside you with your palms by the side of your hips, facing downward.
  • Inhale deeply.
  • Now as you exhale, bring both your legs upwards such that your knees are close to your chest. Hold for 5 seconds. Don’t bend forward and arch your back.
  • Bring down your leg slowly and Repeat Moves 1-4 once more, you're done.

5. Cross body mountain climbers

The cross body mountain climbers is the final exercise for this circuit. Rather than what you do with the regular mountain climber workout where you bring your knees to your chest, the twist to add to help work the lower abs muscles will be that with the revolving you are going to convey your knee to the converse elbow. The integration of the rotation element basically allows for better and effective Lower Abs Exercises.

Easier option: Do the move for 20 seconds; rest in position (A) for 20 seconds; continue the move for another 20 seconds.

Works: Cardio, abdominals, chest, shoulders and triceps





These are some great starting moves to help tighten that pesky pooch. Most women I know have difficulties with this region, and it's no surprise considering regular crunches don't really engage all your abdominals. The best part about this pooch punishing workout is that you don't have to go to a gym to do it!
