Being busy and being fit don't have to be mutually exclusive. But with all the hustle and bustle of your daily life, from work or school, to your commute, to running errands, it's hard to find a spare moment to exercise in solitude. That's why I've found several small exercises you can do in public without turning any heads. Check them out!
1. Calf Raises
Nothing goes better with a sexy pair of heels than a sexy pair of legs! I wear heels often, which is why I do this move almost every day. I love it because it’s so simple, subtle, and effective! Try calf raises when you're waiting in line at the grocery store, in the elevator, or even while you're cooking at home.
2. Bust Press
These simple moves combat the efforts of gravity so that you'll never need a push-up bra again! Other moves, like push-ups, are usually recommended to perk up your breasts, but you can't drop and do twenty at any given point throughout the day. Instead, try this challenge while sitting in traffic, at your desk, or while you unwind and watch TV at the end of the night.

The bust press exercise is an effective and discrete way to firm up the chest and combat the effects of gravity. It can be done while sitting in traffic, at a desk, or while relaxing and watching TV. The exercise targets the chest, shoulders, and triceps, and can be done without any special equipment. To do the bust press, sit up straight and press your hands together in front of your chest. Hold for a few seconds, then slowly release and repeat. Doing this exercise regularly can help to strengthen the chest muscles, improve posture, and make the chest appear more toned and lifted.
Frequently asked questions
There are tons of discreet moves you can do at your desk or while standing at work, like seated leg raises, under-desk cycling, or standing ab exercises. Trust me, your coworkers will have no idea you're sneakily toning those muscles!
They definitely can be! Consistently doing small, effective exercises can contribute to weight loss and overall fitness. Remember, every bit of movement counts towards your goals.
Absolutely! It's totally possible to sneak in exercises throughout your day without drawing attention. Think of it as stealth fitness - perfect for busy days or when you just don't want to hit the gym.
Setting small, achievable goals and incorporating these exercises into your routine can make a big difference. Plus, knowing you can get fitter without needing a huge time commitment is pretty motivating, don't you think?
For sure! These exercises are designed to be subtle and can be done in whatever you’re wearing. You don’t need special workout clothes to make them work, which is a huge bonus if you’re squeezing them in during a busy day.
3. Sexy Arms in Six Minutes!
These moves are a little bit less subtle, but if you can sneak away to the restroom for six minutes, you'll be well on your way to sexy arms. Feeling bold? Stand up in your office and bust out these moves. With just six minutes a day, your shoulder's will be strapless dress-ready in no time!

This six minute exercise routine is perfect for those who don't have time to go to the gym. The exercises target the arms, shoulders, and back, and are designed to be done in a short amount of time. This routine is great for people who want to tone their arms without drawing attention to their workout. With just six minutes a day, you can get toned arms without needing to leave your office or home. All you need is a few pieces of equipment, such as a set of dumbbells or resistance bands. This routine is perfect for people who want to get in shape without having to spend a lot of time or money.
4. Standing Abs
When you think of abs, you might think of doing hundreds of crunches on the floor. But you can't exactly roll your yoga mat out at work, school, or any other public place. Instead, try Jillian Michael's standing ab workout. The last two might turn some heads, so if you don't like attention I recommend just trying the first two. But if you have some alone time in an elevator or restroom, don't shy away from the standing pike crunch or high knees.

This text is about a standing abs workout routine by Jillian Michaels. It is perfect for those who want to work out in public without drawing attention to themselves. The routine consists of four exercises: standing side crunch, standing knee tuck, standing pike crunch, and high knees. Each exercise targets the abs and core muscles and can be done without any equipment. The routine is short but effective and can be done anywhere, making it a great choice for those who want to stay fit without drawing attention.
5. Desk Abs
If you can't leave your desk to do standing abs, here's an alternative. If you can do both, there's no harm in getting in two ab workouts! Your abdominal muscles recover faster than other muscle groups in your body, so you can easily complete two ab workouts in one day. You don't even have to stand up for this workout, so there’s no excuse!
***
Toning your core at your desk can be as simple as engaging your abs while you sit. Practice pulling your belly button towards your spine and holding for intervals of 15 to 30 seconds, making sure to breathe normally. You can also perform seated leg raises underneath your desk. Lift one leg at a time, keeping it straight, or for a bigger challenge, lift both legs simultaneously. Just keep your movements subtle and maintain a regular breathing pattern to avoid drawing attention. Remember, when it comes to fitness, it's the consistency and not just the intensity that brings results!

6. Power Walk
You probably walk more than you realize throughout the day. So why not take advantage of that time? Park farther away than you need to and power walk from your car to your destination. Power walk through the hallways, through grocery aisles, and around your office. You'll burn more calories and get a small arm workout in, too!
7. Thigh Toning
You don't even have to stand up to get sexy thighs! I love this workout especially because there are different levels to it, which means you can challenge yourself more and more each time.

9. Chair Squats
While you may just give off the look that you're getting up from your desk, you're actually working out. Do some of these awesome chair squats when you get up or sit down from your desk and fool your co-workers into not knowing you're actually exercising.
10. Stair Exercises
Probably the most genius idea on this list and also the most multifunctional, stair exercises! Not only does taking the stairs instead of the elevator burn calories in itself, here's a quick one minute workout you can do while you're on your way up and down. Check out youtube for more intense ones once you've mastered this without breaking too bad of a sweat.
