Simple routine I try to follow while sitting on my ass working from home - Once every hour or hour and a half, do 15 pushups, 25 squats, 1.5 minute plank, and repeat. Less if needed. Then drink a big glass of water, cuz that shit's good for you. Whole thing takes less than 10 minutes, gives the whole body a good shake, and will get your heartrate up. The numbers add up pretty well if you repeat it 4-5 times throughout your day. Also helps keep you focused and the day seems to go by faster since you're always looking forward to the next round.

When I used worked in a 10 story building, i'd try to walk up and down the stairs every hour. Sometimes twice if I was was training for ski season. Called it my smoke break.

Whatever you do, if you're in a chair all day, try to get up and move once an hour. Even if it's just stretching. Your body will thank you.

This is legit. I would add a set of bicep curls and overhead press to the mix. Gonna need a set of at least 20-25lb dumbbells, but hey, take your ass to academy and spend 50 bucks. It's worth it, weights don't go bad.

Another thing to consider too. If you're doing this the idea is to build muscle right. Make sure you're getting adequate protein with every meal. They're expensive, but muscle milk shakes are fairly palatable, and 25g of protein a pop helps out.
