The previous post on healthy exercises for couch potatoes continued this theme and right here, we’ll go even deeper with more of the same. So here, for all you couch potatoes is a further little gem that will continue this mini series with another great easy to do exercise that you can do at work and at your desk.

There’s nothing like appearing to be doing nothing when you are actually doing something, especially when its helping to improve your health in some way. So in this one of my exercises for couch potatoes, once again you are sitting idly at your desk – or so you appear to anyone who may cast a casual glance in your direction.

This is similar to the first of the exercises for couch potatoes I showed you only this time, as you are sitting up straight, place your hands palms down on the desk straight in front of you. Now with your forearms level, press down on the desk with as much pressure as is comfortable for you. Hold it for a few second, then release.

As before, repeat a few times until you start feeling that you’ve had enough – but you must be able to feel the muscles in your arms starting to get tired just a little first.

This great exercises for couch potatoes will tone up flabby upper arms and saggy “bingo wings” over time so its well worthwhile doing these simple exercises for couch potatoes as often as you are comfortable with.

As I mentioned in the last post, these exercises for couch potatoes are not meant to be a practical substitute for proper gym training and fitness. They are merely small ways to stave off complete motionless as is typical of a sedentary lifestyle. Instead, they can be slotted into your daily routine where you’d otherwise be dong nothing at all. They therefore become a small part of a healthy lifestyle they can help you to burn a few more calories during your day and tone up muscles as well.

It might not seem like much, but when it comes to promoting a health image to be proud of, every little helps!
