Sitting at your desk for long periods of time isn't good for your health, or your stress levels, but it's often difficult to get away from the office to visit the gym, or even to go for a walk.

With this in mind, Sharron Davies, the former Olympic swimmer, has produced a series of short video exercises which can be performed at your desk. Her simple workout will help to reduce the tension that builds up during the day, tone up those flabby bits that result from sitting for long periods and help to prevent injuries that can come from repeated keyboard use.

Part 1 focused on developing the right posture, as well as working on neck and shoulder tightness. In today's video, Sharron moves down the body to do tricep squeezes, sitting back arches and side bends.

Follow our series each day this week, and by Friday you will have a complete desk workout that you can incorporate into your daily routine.
