Time for office work-out!

If you have a demanding job that requires you to sit for long hours, body transform experts tell you how to get some exercise... 

Desk Workouts 
The main culprit for weight gain is long hours at work and no gym time. Swap one of your coffee breaks and do these simple desk exercises. A 10-minute session will burn between 50 and 100 calories.All you need is a chair without wheels. Perform these exercises as a circuit or individually throughout the day. Two or three times a week will give you more benefits. 

A spine twist to target the shoulders, back and abs 
Sit on a chair with feet flat on the floor. Extend arms overhead with palms facing in, shoulders down. 
Exhale and twist upper body to right; at the same time, press arms out to sides at shoulder height. Inhale. Return to start. Switch sides and repeat. Do 20 reps, alternating sides. 

Wall press with leg lifts to target shoulders, chest, core and lower back 
Face the wall with feet shoulder-width apart and a couple of feet away. Extend right arm at shoulder height in front of you, and place palm on the wall. Lift left leg behind you, about 6 inches off floor and flex your foot. 
With the back held straight, bend right elbow as you lean body in towards wall. Press into palm to return to start. Then quickly switch sides so that left palm is on the wall, right leg extended behind you. Alternate sides and do for 1 minute. 

Chair-pose repeater to target the Back, Glutes and Thighs 
Stand with your back facing the chair, with feet hip-width apart, arms down by sides. Sit back into hips and squat, keeping knees behind toes and back straight, until butt is about 1 inch from the seat. 
Reach arms up and forward diagonally so there’s a straight line from butt to fingertips. Hold for 20 seconds. Return to start. Do 20 reps. 

Diet Tip 
For luminous and toned skin, include foods rich in Vitamin C and Vitamin E found in apples, citrus fruits, and whole-grain cereal.
