Last year I developed a nice little bodyweight routine. Then I got away from it. Partly that's because I wanted to get back into running. When I started working again and had to deal with time constraints, the strength routine went by the wayside. In an attempt to get things going again, I started doing pushups at work. I started with 10, then 20, then 30 at a time. Now my first set is usually 40, which I hadn't been able to do without stopping for years.
This week I wanted to incorporate some more exercises. I was inspired by an article I read that described the four basic movements: push, pull, squat, and hinge. Searching via Google brought up articles mentioning more basic movements. The squat is ubiquitous, and something that is easily done at work, so added it to my routine. But what else can I do?
I saw an article from Inc and another from Forbes. The four basic movements reminded me of Stronglifts, but I have to remind myself that it's okay to do exercises that don't work multiple muscle groups. So here's my office list so far:
Stair Climbing (But the three floors to my office aren't enough to count)
Pushups
Squats
Dips
Magic Carpet Ride
Calf Raises
