The idea behind it is simple. you turn your head back over your left shoulder and turn your body right, stretching your abdomen out. The stretch is also good for your lower back as well. 2. Standing twist Stand up out of your chair and place your feet shoulder width apart. Have your hand loose, your elbows by your waist, hands lifted up and perpendicular to the ground. Twist your body to the left as far as you can and snap yourself back to the right really fast. Do this as many time as you can for a minute to tighten up your mid section. The rapid succession of motion from right to left will give your stomach it's burn. Also, if you have a chance to buy a medicine ball that would up the level of difficulty. If not, try to find a heavy object around the office to make the work out harder. 3. Isometric Squeeze Take a good deep breath and tighten up your core muscles. Hold it for 30 seconds or so and then release. You can type while you are doing this, read a memo, or an e-mail, even during an office meeting.

Make sure your arms are good enough to help support yourself. If not, work on some tricep dips and some push ups. For the exercise, you simply push yourself up with your arms, tucking your knees into your chest a tightly as possible, holding yourself up. Hold this for about thirty seconds or so and repeat.
