Fitness 9 to 5: Easy Exercises for the Working Week

By Shirley Sugimura Archer

The latest trend in fitness for the overworked and underexercised? The office cubicle, of course "Fitness 9 to 5" is the perfect antidote to long hours hunched over a desk and missed dates with the gym. This handy book features 75 quick and easy exercises that can be performed discreetly while sitting at a desk, standing at a file cabinet, and even on the morning commute. Coffee Pot Curls in the kitchenette build up biceps, while Stairwell Bun Blasters are sure to improve the bottom line. And stress-busters for tired eyes and wrists keep computer fatigue at bay. A calorie count is provided for each exercise, so it's easy to see how simple changes can shed pounds. With charming illustrations and step-by-step instructions, "Fitness 9 to 5" is the best defense against the office candy jar.

Customer Reviews

Sore No More

Shirley has created a book with stretching exercises for those of us glued to a chair or computer all day. I personally forget to move and if I find myself in a bit of pain, I look in the book for the exercise for that area. All it takes is a bit of movement; aches and pains from inertia can be avoided. The book paid for itself in one missed chiropractic or doctor visit.

Practical and Poised...

A fun way to fit a little fitness into a hectic work day... the exercises are easy to follow, and they feel great to do. I think it's a clever gift for people who spend a lot of time at a desk but would rather be outside and active.
