Anna Starring and Brook Siler doing the Invisible Workout in New York City

Tired of countless hours at the gym, spinning to nowhere and sweating through lung-burning, joint-jarring classes? Learn how to become conscious of what you do every day and how you can turn that into the exercise you need.

• Always warm up first and stop if anything hurts
  
• Work out using large, stable pieces of furniture--perhaps your desk at work, or a dining room table at home. Avoid chairs that can slide or move.
