Have suggest a list of some realistic and easily achievable workout routines to help keep you in top shape.

1. Hide a Dumbbell under your desk.

A Dumbbell is one of the tools you can use while sitting on your chair and reading an email on your computer screen. Yes you can build your muscles quietly without constituting a nuisance or taking up space at your place of work. This gives you some room to multi-task for a few minutes.

2. Take 8,000 to 10,000 Steps Daily.

There are several creative ways to achieve this. You can choose to hike a certain distance to and from work, before boarding a cab. Also opt to take the staircase instead of the elevator.

3. Break Down Long Workout Sessions Into Brief Sets.

Lengthy and strenuous routines can be broken into 5 or 10mins before work or before bedtime. Some fitness coaches advise on this pattern as a more effective way of engaging muscle memory.

4. Skip Ropes, Not Meals.

For those who would want to expend more energy for quicker results, always keep a skipping rope handy.

Remember to stretch beyond your comfort zone.

5. Jogging on a spot.

By this you do not have to go around and be seen, just in case you are worried about the awkwardness of working out in an unlikely place. All you need to do is set a time span goal or a number of steps to take on the spot. Jogging on the spot is equally as effective. Motion is all that matters.

6. Choose Active Leisure Activities.

During weekends and holidays, take a leisure walk in the park with your family and friends. Swim, play Tennis, football or any kind of active hobby you might consider remotely interesting to you.

7. Dance.
