Clint Padgett works up to 80 hours a week, he doesn’t take many breaks and he has limited time to exercise. So he’s hired personal trainer Robert Dothard to give him a workout in his office.


 “Hey, Robert.” The routine starts with squats 1, using the chair at Clint’s desk. “Come down, barely tap, we are protecting your knees.” “How long can I rest in the chair?” “No, no longer than just a nanosecond.”


 That same chair gives Clint support while he does a series of leg extensions. “Keep that knee right there, watch your pacing, nice and slow.” Clint’s desk doubles as a prop 2 for push-ups, “Let's do four more”, and tricep curls. “Breathing deep, getting a full range of motion.” And finally, karate 3 kicks.


 Dothard ends the session with exercises that help tone arm muscles. “Hey, man, I will take that.” “Thank you.” “Yeah, you got it.” The workout takes less than an hour.


 Not only has Clint saved time in traveling to a gym, but he's helped reduce his stress levels. “After the workout, I am a lot more relaxed, a lot more calm, and I am able to be focused on what's coming up next.” More work, for today’s Health Minute, I’m Judy Fortin.
