It’s probably the most common New Year resolution and long hours at the office are probably the most oft-cited reason it gets abandoned by the end of January: getting fit. Well it just so happens that ABC News has developed its Office Six, which sounds kinky but is actually a set of very practical physical exercises we can all do at our desks. Silly as they may look, the only way we might keep our recurring fitness resolution in 2009 is to perform these 6 Office Workouts:

Desk Push-Ups

Sure you’ll look foolish, but you’ll be working your arms and avoiding your work.

Butt Kicks

This involves standing at your desk and bringing your flexed foot to your butt and back down again. Cheaters may use the device above, and will likely get an even better workout during assembly.

Chicken Wings

This doesn’t involve eating, nor doing a chicken dance. Well, okay, it might be mistaken for a chicken dance, but will also give your upper arms a terrific run-around.

Sitting Abs

This seated exercise doesn’t involve fancy electric belts or crucifixes. That said, you might want to warn co-workers who will otherwise think you’re trying to commit suicide by kneeing yourself repeatedly.

Isometric Abs and Quads

A more extreme version of the previous workout, you want to sustain the above gentleman’s pose without resorting to rocket power. You’re basically lifting yourself into an L-shape in your chair with a straight back and outstretched legs.

The Final Stretch

Amid hours of inactivity at your desk, a few strategically-time stretches will keep you in better shape, more attentive and generally bouncier.
