Many office workers are too busy to exercise, yet their sedentary work habits have altered their physiques. Russia's Medical Forum news site lists four simple methods to shed fat while sitting.
1. Laugh heartily. Laughing for 10 to 15 minutes burns approximately 40 calories. Additionally, laughter boosts metabolism. Experts note that this means the fat-burning process continues even after the laughter subsides.
2. Work in a cooler environment. Your body burns significant calories to stay warm. Experts suggest opening windows during work hours.
3. Replace your chair with an exercise ball to engage core and back muscles.
4. Listen to music. Moving your shoulders and head to the beat can burn considerable calories.
