Okay, so you’ve mastered the ultimate conference call workout for your core—now, let’s move down to the lower half of your body.
How it works: Whenever one of the below situations occurs, do the exercise prescribed. If you’re the one talking or presenting (or your company requires your camera to be on), make a note and commit to the workout later.
Complete the following every time….

- The mute button is forgotten = 15 clams each leg
