Like most women, you may be a working mom that is tied to her desk all day at work. This means you have little time to do much else but sit there, let alone be able to go to the gym at the end of the day. Being a mom is a demanding job and sometimes you REALLY don't have time to make room for exercise. With the kids constantly needing you to make their school lunches or preparing dinner for your family, finding time to exercise isn't the same.
However, there is a loophole around this maze called motherhood and we have found unique ways to help you get exercise during the day. The best part is that it is all at the comfort of your desk!

For many women sacrificing keeping in shape, happens after they have kids. This little issue can be solved if you learn little shortcuts along the way.
We've come up with some easy exercises you can do at your desk to tone up and get that pre-baby body you've been longing for. Warning: your co-workers may give you funny looks, but at least you'll end up with a perkier butt.
Standing Hip Extension: Hold on to the back of your desk chair and extend one leg behind you, flexing at the foot. Then lift your leg at hip-width and pulse it up and down. Do higher-reps to make it more challenging and get that booty working!Embedded content: http://youtu.be/yLMsUsDXJD8
Sit to Stand: This move is perfect to tone your thighs, knees, and improve your balance. Start out as if you were doing a regular squat exercise but unlike the squat, you can let your butt tap the seat. Do this move repeatedly only using your balance without the help of the chair.

Pigeon Toe Stretch: This is perfect to stretch out your tensed up body from sitting at a desk all day. Bend one knee on top of your desk with the side of your shin resting on the table. Bend forward from the hip for a full lower body stretch and repeat on the other side.

Desk Push Ups: This is an effective exercise for firming your chest and building strong arms, and a firm core. Start at a push up position on your desk with your elbows to the side and lift your chest two inches from the table. Make sure you are aligned from head to toe.

Tricep Dips: This move will work the jiggly area you want toned behind your arms. With your back to your desk or chair, hold onto the edges with your hands behind you. Bend them forming a 90 degree angle and come back up. Repeat until exhaustion.
