working in that workout

Oxygen's "Health and Fitness" area has plenty of exercises and stretches you can perform during your work day to help relieve stress, increase flexibility, and build strength. Probably the most useful part of the site are the descriptions of simple exercises which can be worked into your commute and which won't attract any unwanted attention. For example, instead of recommending jumping-jacks on the subway, there are instructions for isometric exercises and discrete ways to work out your abs and butt while you're straphanging or waiting to cross the street. In addition to tips for making your desk a more fit place to work, the site features a calorie-counting table as well as diagrams and directions for different stretches to relieve the tension that builds up in your back, neck, and shoulder muscles during a stressful day at the office.
