Ever feel like you can't find your neck at the end of the work day? Sitting hunched over a desk for 8 hours at a time will do that to you- plus a whole lot worse. One study suggests that people who have desk jobs are twice as likely to die early—even if they hit the gym sometimes.

Use these exercises to prevent yourself from spending so much time inactive each day. We also recommend consulting a personal trainer who can adapt a workout plan to meet your goals and lifestyle.
