Stand on your tiptoes and clench your buttocks.

Lift your feet 5-10 cm from the floor and hold this position.

4) Tone your arms:

Position:
Comfortably seated in your office chair with your back straight, feet on the floor and hands under the desk.

Exercise:
While sitting straight, push the desk up to the ceiling with your hands.

5) Firm up your buttocks:

Exercise:
Clench one buttock, then the other, then both, for 10 seconds and relax.

6) Stretch your spine while working:

Sitting with your back straight against the back of your chair.

Exercise:
Raise your head as if you were to touch the ceiling, while lowering your shoulders as much as possible and repeat this move for several reps.

Sitting or standing, it doesn't matter, the key is to keep your rib cage free.

Exercise:
Inhale slowly by expanding your stomach, then exhale by retracting your stomach.
