Ann's summer Exercise List

  • Put on a headset and pace/crutches while you talk on the phone.
  • Do 10 push-ups every hour off the edge of your desk.
  • Do 30-second static squats, in which you hover over the seat of your chair, every 20 minutes.
  • Stretch your body out while you are sitting to get the blood flowing.
  • Do calf raises while standing in your cubicle.
  • Bring a pair of light dumbbells — or use water bottles — and do biceps curls, triceps extensions, and shoulder raises and presses, all while sitting in your chair.
  •  
  • Perform push-ups on the side of the pool.
  • Do dips on the side of the pool.
  • Tread water. (If this is easy for you, hold a dumbbell over your head and try it.)
  • Hold weights in your hands and try running laps in a lap pool. This is fun and challenging.
  • Hold a kickboard and do kicking-only laps.
  • Place a pool block between your legs and hold it tight so that your legs are totally stationary. Now try swimming laps using only your arms.
  • Up-downs: Go into the deep end of the pool. Dive to the bottom and then push off from the bottom to bring yourself back up to the surface. Catch your breath and repeat.
Try to do each of these exercises for 5 sets of 10 repetitions each
