Lunch: Remember The Side Order of Oxygen

Twelve noon. Time for . . . the usual tuna sandwich and rice pudding from the company cafeteria? Lunch out somewhere with coworkers? Yogurt at your desk along with a juicy novel?
Whatever it is that you do for lunch, you can do more. Even if you get only 30 minutes instead of an hour, you can fit fitness into your lunch break. How long does it take, after all, to eat?
If you really need a full hour, l’m going to guess that might be one of your fitness problems right there. Yes, we should chew our food thoroughly, but that’s a lot of food chewed.
The point is simply this: Today’s lunch hour offers itself as one of the richest opportunities for exercise.
Think about it:
1) It doesn’t dip into family time. Don’t you hate those dinners messed up by having to get to the health club, health—rider, fitness video, or whatever other nighttime exercise obligation you’ve come to despise?
2) If can give you the energy you need when youneed it. And don’t you regret those late-night workouts that rev you up only so you can stay up too late watching how to make fattening meals on the Food Network? Working out during lunch can iuice you up for the rest of your money—making day.
3) It can be free. lf your company has a fitness facility, and many do nowadays, some of those unaffordable exercise gizmos you lust for probably are there just waiting tor you. And even it your place of business doesn’t have a fitness facility, you’ll be exercising on company time. Your lunch hour is built into your contract; you may use it however you see fit.
4) It can put those Lunch-time calories to work rather than just to fat. Sit back down at your desk after one of those four-star lunches intended to impress somebody, and what happens? Calories with nowhere to go generally turn to fat. But by working out- lightly — alter you eat, you give all those chocolate mousse calories in your blood something more productive to do. Research shows that moderate exercise after eating, in tact, can increase calorie-burning by as much as 30 percent.
Desk Exercises

Relieving your body from the stress of sitting increases blood flow, energizes tired muscles, and makes you feel better and more alert. Try these stretches for a more comfortable — and productive— workday.
1) Move from side to side on your chair, raising your hip up towards your shoulder, alternating left to right. This stretches your bock, hips, and shoulders.
2) Keeping your bock straight and your arms on the armrests of your choir, lift your foot until your leg is straight and, breathing, hold it for a few seconds. Repeat with the other leg, remembering to keep your bock straight. You should feel a good stretch behind your knees.
3) Roll your shoulders, one at a time.
4) Push your chest forward and bend your head bock, causing your back to crunch.
Then do the opposite movement: Roll your shoulders forward and lower your chin to your chest as you round your back.
5) If you hold the telephone between your shoulder and your ear, be sure to do so on the opposite side periodically to stretch the muscles that were contracted and contract the muscles that were stretched.
6) Raise your arms in front of you and clasp the wrist at one arm with the hand of the other. Pull forward on the wrist. For a good stretch. Reverse. Raise your arms above your head and clasp the wrist at one arm with the hand of the other. Pull up. Reverse.
7) lf you don’t mind a few stores, or it you have a private office, give yourself a good hug. Wrap your arms around your torso and twist slightly from side to side.
Chin tucks ore a wonderful way to stretch the neck and shoulders as well as to train your body to maintain good posture. Get in the habit of doing a chin tuck every time you stop typing (or start a new paragraph or open a particular drawer).
9) Raise your right arm so that it’s angled to the left. Cup your left hand under your right arm just above the elbow. Pull your right elbow toward your left shoulder for a halt-hug and a good stretch. Reverse.
Coffee Break Alternatives

Cardiovascular exercise is a great midmorning boost: It infuses the body with energizing oxygen, helps remove waste products that have accumulated in the blood, and roots out the kinks that are the bane of the desk—bound.
Try one of these natural perks.
1) A 10-minute walk in the parking lot, or up and down your company’s corridors.
2) Ten minutes at climbing stairs. (There must be some in the building somewhere.)
3) Several minutes of jumping jacks in your office it you have one, in the rest room it you don’t.
4) Running in place for 5 minutes. Take 30—second rests each minute it need be.
Or if your company has a fitness center:
1) Several minutes of stationary cycling. (One enterprising woman I know brought her own to use in the office.)
2) Several minutes of walking or slow running on a treadmill.
3) Several minutes of rowing on a rowing machine.
Strength—building exercises can be energizing and have an advantage over some cardiovascular activities by virtue of not demanding as much space.
Several of these you can do right at your desk.
1) Isometric Curls* tor the biceps and triceps can be done anywhere.
2) Curls can also be done with resistance supplied by your desk.
3) Wall push—ups are great tor those upper arm muscles.
4) Chin—ups are great for those who have already developed arm muscles. (A chin—up bar is necessary for these, of course, but all you need for installing a portable model is a stable doorway.)
5) Forward lunges can be done at your desk.
6) Lumbar stabilization exercises such as the Quadruped help combat desk fatigue.
Flexibility exercises are just what muscles need alter several hours of being sequestered behind a desk, sales counter, or steering wheel. Try these for giving muscles a second wind.
1) Shoulder Rotations* relieve your shoulders and neck ot the stress that builds up all day. Create as much movement in your upper back muscles as you can while you do them.
2) The Reach can be done standing or sitting. Stretch your hands as high above your head as you can while taking a deep breath. Hold for about 5 seconds, then exhale as you lower your arms.
3) The Neck Stretch will relieve your neck and upper back of stress. Simply tuck your chin into your chest. If you like, gently tip your head to the left, return to center, then tip to the right.
4) Arm Circles are good to do whenever you’re standing. Hold your arms straight out from your sides. Move them in circles, increasing the size with each circle. Do about 10 in each direction.
5) The Upper Back Bend feels great alter sitting for a while. Clasp your hands behind your neck and gently lean back in your chair as far as possible. Open and close your mouth to stretch the jaw muscles, then slowly sit back up.
6) The Lower Back Stretch* relieves pressure on the lower back. While seated, grasp your right knee and slowly pull it up into your chest as far as possible while you keep your other leg straight. Hold for about 5 seconds, and then do the same with the other leg.
