Getting back into exercising is not always easy when you have a very busy work life. A lot of fitness exercises can be done at the office, discreetly without moving from your chair, between meetings or during the lunch break when you are more relaxed. Cardio exercises using bodyweight are particularly suitable: they can be done without equipment wherever you want and according to the time you have available.

For beginners, 1 to 2 20-minute sessions per week are ideal for developing good habits.
