How to Exercise Abs While Sitting
Exercise is not only good for the body but also for the mind. One should always take some time out from work or any other commitment, to exercise and sweat out. We usually tend to gain an ungainly belly that is the outcome of long hours at the office. If you think that the routine you follow has no time for such activities, there is no reason for you to worry as there are some exercises that you can carry out in very limited of spaces, such as in sitting position.
This will not only help you in staying fit, but will also aid you in blowing some steam off at work.
