Dips
|
These can be done almost anywhere! Using a desk or a non-rolling chair that is sturdy, sit at the edge and place hands on either side of your body while you grip the edge of the chair. Plant your feet a foot or two ahead of you, slide your bottom off the chair, and have your arms straight, then bend the arms to reach a 90-degree angle so that your body dips down, hold, and re-straighten while keeping the body raised above the chair. Complete 10 reps.

Bicep Curl
|
While standing or sitting, take a small object (water bottle, stapler, or coin purse) in one hand with the palm facing up. Just like a regular bicep curl, start with your arm extended at the thighs, bend the elbow and curl the arm up towards the chest. Pause momentarily and then lower the object back down. Do this for 15 reps and switch.

Arm Circles
|
If you have some extra time and want to make those arms burn a little, you can do arm circles while sitting or standing. Put your arms out to your side making your body look like a T, and make small circles forward with your arms for 45-60 seconds. Take a small break and do it again, only this time circle your arms backwards!

Fist Bump
|
Sometimes the workday means you need to let off a little steam or celebrate that it's only 10 minutes until the day is over! Punch your fist up into the air, alternating arms, and continue for 60 seconds or more. This move will for sure tire your arms out!
