Working at a computer 12 hours a day

RagingRose Posts: 12 Joined: 2002/10/08	2002/10/22, 01:00 PM I work for a major .com company - my hours are anywhere between 10 and 12 hours, almost 6 days a week now. Since I can't get to the gym (like I should be) - does anyone know of any specific exercises that I can do at work (possibly at my desk) that would at least help out with my missing workouts? ---------------------------- Christina ***Really, What if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about??***

Thanks in advance! You guys rock! -------------- Christina ***Really, What if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about??***

If you find those intersting I can suggest you some more exercises. Good luck!

And I'm trying the leg & arm lifts/extensions....I've got a new position now (just started yesterday) I'm walking the floor now - only sitting at the desk for about 3 hours a day now, so that helps......Any other suggestions - I'm all eyes.... :) -------------- Christina ***Really, What if the Hokey Pokey is what it's all about??***
