This system is responsible for holding up the machine, giving it strength to work well through long periods of time. The muscular system refers to all the voluntary muscles in your body. Just like a machine loses its strength with time, so do the muscles of the body if not exercised regularly.
Strength training at work
~Work your lower body:
Chair squats: Sit on the edge of your chair maintaining an upright posture. Hold your abdomen in tight. Place feet apart at hip distance. Slowly stand up and gently lower yourself down towards the chair. Just as you feel your bottom touch the chair, stand up again. Don't sit down on the chair. Repeat these chair squats 16 times.
This works your thighs and bottom.
Calf raises: You can do this while chatting with your colleague! Stand with your feet hip distance apart. Push yourself up on your toes and lower gently. Just before your heels can touch the floor, lift them up again. Repeat 16 times and feel your calves burn!
Butt crunches: A favourite with the ladies, this exercise can be done anytime anywhere! Simply squeeze your butt muscles tight and release. Do a set of 16 repetitions.
