Office Elbow Curls

These will help you open up the muscles in your chest and shoulders.
Start by raising your arms at your sides and bending your elbows, so that your knuckles are at your temples. Now bring your elbows together and then all the way back to the starting position at a moderate speed for 30 reps.

Office Jumping Jacks

Let’s get in some cardio! Doing these modified, office jumping jacks will get the juices pumping without impact on your joints.
Sit on the edge of your chair, opening and closing your arms and legs as you would during a normal jumping jack, and move your limbs, as quickly as you can, in and out. Start slow and work your way up to 3 sets of 20 reps.

Office Hamstring Curl

Bending arms at the elbow, bring one foot up toward your rear end while straightening your arms so that your hands are down when your foot is up. Repeat for 20 reps. 

Office Neck Stretches

Tilt your head toward your shoulder slowly and then hold for ten seconds each side. Take your time and be mindful to take slow delicious breaths. 

Office Arm Shoulders

Pulling your arm across your chest, hook your other arm around it to pull the tension out of your upper back and rear shoulders.

Make sure your managers and/or supervisors understand what you’re up to before you turn your office into a gym. But this can be beneficial for the whole staff. There’s no reason why you can’t get the whole office involved. You can potentially be elevating the levels of your entire staff, and help make for a much healthier work environment. Add on initiatives for healthier eating, and you’ve got a completely revolutionized office space.

And just before you’ve solved the Jefferson issue, your manager’s supervisor’s EA emails you

If your business offers corporate credit cards or expense accounts to employees, there’s a good chance there is unethical spending going on. 33% of corporate credit card holders admit to blatantly defrauding the companies they work for, and twice that amount confess to making “risky purchases.” But a thread on AskReddit reveals some of the

Despite the fact that late-stage capitalism is an amoral hellhole driven by a borderline religious belief in the sanctity of brands, we would never, ever suggest that anyone should shoplift from big-box stores, or even imply that doing so is morally okay or a victimless crime. But hypothetically, if we were to give any tidbit

The workers who forgo the yoke of traditional employment to strike it out on their own form a vibrant sector of the American economy. From ambitious entrepreneurs to cunning freelancers and everyone in between, self-employed workers say “no” to a punch-the-clock world and enjoy a great deal of freedom in their work.

In the words of Ferris Bueller: “Life comes at ya fast.” I learned this when, after graduating college, I suddenly had to get my life together and financially support myself. The horror. But I’m also young and fun (I swear!). I want to go out with my friends, follow trends, and buy myself a little

A few years ago I was at Coachella, buying overpriced, under-seasoned food from a vendor who was particularly kind. Par for the course, all of these events are dominated by Square payments that provide the oh-so-convenient option to tip your gracious server. Oftentimes, the transaction is so quick, you’re wondering if you should even tip

We live in a world where most celebrities have multiple business endeavors going besides what made them famous. Well known socialites are no longer just party-goers in ballgowns, but have now taken on the term “influencer” and drape themselves in brand deals before being photographed. And maybe being a public spectacle becomes so uninspiring that

I’ve been thinking a lot about goal setting in the New Year…and not in the cliche resolution way. Not in the way that I get overzealous and aim to save $10,000 in one year, change my entire life around, and find the apartment of my dreams. Not in the way that sets me up for
