Desk workout: Three moves to burn calories

Team Coach

Already falling asleep at your desk? Coffee not cutting it today? We've got the answer.

While "desk-ercise" might not give you the body of a Victoria's Secret model, it will wake you up, get the blood pumping, burn off at least a couple of bites of that avo on toast, and raise your heart rate. Plus we all know the dangers of sitting down all day looking at cat memes. Sorry — "working".

This three-move desk workout is all you need. And you can do it in even your smartest business attire, as Nine's very own Emily demonstrates.

Using your desk to lean on, start with 20 push-ups (remember to keep your elbows by your side and keep your core switched on), then move on to 20 tricep dips and finish with 20 knee pull-ins.

We'd recommend blocking out your co-workers' chortles with a little light music.
