Makeover Momma

Halle tries to stay fit and healthy, even when she’s short on time.

   Instead of only offering workout tips applicable for home use, we realize that many of our Makeover Momma’s need advice on staying fit and active during working hours at the office too. Being stuck at your desk can make it seem nearly impossible to stay fit, but it often can be easier than you think. Here are some quick ideas for staying active without even leaving your desk:

• Check out Leslie Sansone’s Walk Club for a yearly paying membership which features streaming exercise video that can be done right at your desk, as well as nutrition and fitness advice that anyone can follow.
• If walking simply isn’t your thing, then find variety at Demand Fitness online, which will let you access over 200 varied exercise classes on your computer, at any time you want during the day for as low as 99¢. High-low cardio dancing, anyone?
• Check out our personal favorite Exercise TV online, which features free streaming fitness videos all day long. You could pump out a 2 minute booty toner during busy days (every little bit counts) or a 30 minute yoga class during your lunch hour…it’s up to you!
• Keep small weights under your desk and use during breaks for a quickie toning session. Press overhead to tone the arms, do simple bicep curls at different angles, place on your legs for weighted leg lifts and calf raises (using leg while sitting), or tighten abdominals by alternating cross-punches with weights across the body at a fast tempo.
