I focus more on quick exercise before/between work. So:

* 7 min HIIT workout before work

* Walks during breaks. May do quick sprint on walk, literally just run 20-30 seconds in whatever you’re wearing, once. No need to sweat

At work, I do do two things:

* I have a sit stand desk

* While reading, I will generally stretch or massage. Like just quick forearm stretches or massage of any points sore from working

If you have reading to do you could do that on an exercise bike, there are small ones easy to fit in an office. And I definitely recommend calls while walking if you can manage it socially

But in general, sit sit, stand stand, never wobble is a good mantra. Good exercise and good work both require focus and you can’t really combine them.

But, you can do good exercise in 5 min on a work break. I’m more fit and strong than most and haven’t been to gym or done workout longer than 15 min in years.
