If you sit all day long while working, you know how your legs can become numb or heavy. Even though most of us know we should take breaks every 2-3 hours, we usually don't have the time to take a little walk during working hours (I usually can't).
But you don't have to leave the office, or not even your desk to incorporate an easy routine that keeps your legs healthy! Follow the illustrations right now and get going with these quick exercises. Don't forget to keep your abs flexed while holding your feet off the ground so your lower back is protected. (If you can take your shoes off, it's even better ;)
1. Pretend to pick something up from the floor with your toes and "let it go" midair. Do this 6-8 times.

3. With straight legs flex your feet, hold it for a second than point your toes. Repeat 6-8 times.
