I fainted at work in the afternoon! 3 ways to do light exercise to refresh yourself better than coffee

Sitting in front of the computer, my mind gradually becomes distracted, my eyelids become heavier... Starting at 2:30 p.m., the office begins to perform a "nodding show", with many office workers feeling drowsy and lacking energy, and their work efficiency is greatly reduced. Experts suggest that you use 10 to 15 minutes to move around, which can not only replenish oxygen to the brain and revitalize the spirit, but also has the effect of fitness and fat burning.

Sitting for a long time makes you feel sleepy due to lack of oxygen ~ Exercise can improve your spirit

Feeling distracted and sleepy during work in the afternoon is a common problem for many office workers. Many people worry about being discovered by their bosses when they doze off, so they use various methods to stay awake, including: chewing gum, listening to rhythmic music, drinking a cup of strong tea or coffee, washing their faces with cold water, and some even take preventive measures by adjusting the content of their Chinese meals and controlling their salt and protein intake to reduce the incidence of "food coma."

However, the above methods are difficult to fight against hypoxic fatigue caused by long-term sitting and poor blood circulation. If you want to restore your energy, you should get up and move around! The following is a demonstration by professional fitness coach Hank Lai of 3 light exercises suitable for afternoon tea time. All you need is a non-sliding four-legged chair and some simple movements. They can relieve tense muscles, replenish the body with oxygen, and quickly boost your spirits. They also have the effect of fitness and body shaping, killing two birds with one stone.

【Stand up and sit down】：

Function: Training the hip and leg muscles can restore strength to muscles that have been sitting for a long time and promote blood circulation.

Action: Sit on the front edge of the chair with your feet at 90 degrees to the floor, your body at 90 degrees to your thighs, and your hands in front of your chest to avoid supporting yourself with your hands. Bend your torso forward, shifting your weight toward your heels, using your hips to push your body up into standing, then return to the chair and repeat. Do 10 times in each set, and perform 3 sets of training.

【High-position push-ups】：

Function: Train chest and back muscles and increase upper limb activity.

Action: Support your body with your hands on the chair cushion, keep your body and legs in a straight line, keep your core and shoulder blades stable, and activate your hips and thighs to exert force. Lower your hands to 90 degrees, keep your body stable without bending, and then return to the original position. Perform 3 sets of 10 to 15 repetitions per set.

Core Training:

Function: Training the core muscles can keep the body stable and also withstand higher intensity exercise.

Action: Prepare a non-sliding chair (or platform), support your hands on the chair cushion, keep your hands straight, and extend your torso and legs in a straight line. Lift your knees up to 90 degrees with your hips, stay for 5 seconds, and then switch feet. Repeat 4 times with each foot, and perform 3 sets of training.
