As the world continues to change, more and more people find themselves leading a very sedentary lifestyle. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A huge portion of the population spends most of their days sitting down &#8211; during the day you may be working at your desk all day and later in the evening you end up on your couch surfing through Netflix trying to find something to watch. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Such a lifestyle is very dangerous as it leads to a slew of health problems including obesity, heart diseases and high blood pressure, certain cancers, type 2 diabetes and much more. If your schedule does not allow you time to hit the gym, you can try to counter the effects of a sedentary lifestyle by doing some simple leg exercises while sitting.<\/span><\/p>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Leg_Exercises_While_Sitting\" target=\"_blank\"><video autoplay=\"autoplay\" loop=\"loop\" muted=\"muted\" playsinline=\"playsinline\" width=\"777\"><source src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/06\/ezgif.com-gif-to-mp4-2.mp4\" type=\"video\/mp4\" \/><\/video><\/a>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/benefits-of-elevating-legs\/\">curious<\/a> on how to exercise those legs while seated, read on for some important tips and exercise example to try!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_You_Should_Do_Leg_Exercises_While_Sitting_At_Desk\"><\/span><b>Why You Should Do Leg Exercises While Sitting At Desk<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Spending your days sitting down for hours and hours means you are leading a sedentary lifestyle, which increases your risk of chronic illnesses as well as obesity. The lower body has more muscle than the upper body and thus doing lower body exercises may help prevent these issues.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chronic illnesses, unfortunately, are not the only risk brought on by sitting for too long. Spending all day seated is also really bad for your legs.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Some leg\/lower body issues that you may <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/wall-exercises-for-legs\/\">experience<\/a> include:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Varicose veins<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; Also known as spider veins, they are unsightly large and twisted veins. While these veins can appear on any part of the body, they mostly occur in the legs and feet.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This condition occurs when your vein walls and valves become weak or damaged. It can also occur when the veins themselves are enlarged, dilated, and overfilled with blood (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhlbi.nih.gov\/health\/varicose-veins\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). While the condition isn\u2019t serious or even life threatening, it often causes insecurities in people with them. Doing exercises for leg circulation while sitting will go a long way to ensure that you don\u2019t end up with varicose veins.<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Muscular atrophy<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; This is a condition where muscles simply waste away from lack of use, malnutrition, age, or certain medical conditions (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/journals.physiology.org\/doi\/full\/10.1152\/ajpcell.00425.2021\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). The lower body has very large muscles which we use for walking and play a huge part in balance and stability.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are always seated, you end up not using these muscles and overtime they weaken and waste away. When this happens, you will end up having problems when walking and lose your balance which increases your risk of injury from falls or strains when exercising.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Deep vein thrombosis<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> &#8211; This is a condition that occurs when a blood clot forms in one or more of the deep veins in the body, usually in the legs.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sitting for too long, not moving around very much &#8211; possibly due to hospitalization, and varicose veins are among the causes of this condition (<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nhs.uk\/conditions\/deep-vein-thrombosis-dvt\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">). If left untreated, the blood clot can cut off blood supply to other parts of the body leading to a pulmonary <a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/exercises-for-circulation-in-legs\/\">embolism<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Clearly, not moving your legs for extended periods of time will cause more issues than we are aware of. To reduce the risk of these issues, be sure to always do some leg circulation and leg strengthening exercises while sitting down.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><i>Read More: <\/i><\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/betterme.world\/articles\/chair-exercises-for-legs\/\"><i>The Beginner\u2019s Guide To Chair Exercises For Legs<\/i><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/quiz.betterme.world\/en\/first-page-generated-gender?flow=2196&amp;utm_source=Blog&amp;utm_medium=Blog&amp;utm_campaign=Leg_Exercises_While_Sitting\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-47291 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207739-1024x576.png\" alt=\"leg exercises while sitting\" width=\"770\" height=\"433\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207739.png 1024w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207739-300x169.png 300w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207739.png 768w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207739-1635x920.png 1635w, https:\/\/cdn.betterme.world\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/07\/Frame-207739.png 1729w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 770px) 100vw, 770px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_To_Build_Leg_Muscles_While_Sitting\"><\/span><b>How To Build Leg Muscles While Sitting<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you are looking to learn how to tone legs while sitting, here are some easy leg exercises to do while seated.
