Too tired to work out when you get home? Too busy to get out at lunchtime for a walk? We sympathize, so we asked our fitness trainer to the stars, Aimet Victoria (Aimetvictoria.com), to give us a  quick work out we can squeeze in at the office.

Hey, if she can make Eva Longoria look so good, we’ll try it:

Here’s  what the lovely Aimet recommends for the best 20 minute work-out at the office:

Call us crazy but we could picture ourselves lifting weights if the weights doubled as a phone! “Hello...pant, pant, what? Hold on, we need to finish this curl…”

We couldn’t make this up; there is a Japanese dumbbell attachment for the phone. Handy, if you’re in a cubicle and never get to the gym though you do run the risk of your office mates making fun of you. Just flex those big guns and they’ll leave you alone. Sadly, it only works with retro phones, not iPhones or Blackberrys.

Okay, if that isn’t working for you, how about the wheel-less stationary bike that goes under your desk? Called the Pedal Exerciser, you’ll be doing the Tour de France in no time.  You probably shouldn’t share what  you’re doing with your co-workers.
Neck Harness. This is just a pain in the neck and dangerous besides. ‘Nuf said.

Dog treadmill. Are we the only ones who think this is insane? You can buy one at numerous sites, with such classsic warnings as:
Strap your dog to the treadmill.
Hold any treats in front of him while he is exercising on the mill. You don’t want your dog to leap towards you. Remember, dogs think with their stomachs.
Allow your dog to release himself before the exercise.
