A typical workday can make you stressed, tired -- and flabby. And an hourlong lunchtime workout? Not gonna happen. Slim down and sculpt muscles you never knew you had (in your cubicle!) with this busy-girl's guide.

One in four working women gained weight on the job in a single year, according to a study published in the International Journal of Obesity. The main culprit? Long hours (and no gym time).

Ellen Barrett, creator and star of the Fat Burning Fusion DVD, designed this goof-proof Pilates and yoga-inspired routine. A 15-minute session will burn between 60 and 130 calories.
What You'll Need: A chair without wheels.
