After a recent sports injury I got my hands on a muscle stimulation device (Compex). What I learned:

1) These devices do not only massage. Depending on the settings they can force incredibly powerful contractions with muscle ache the next day. This feels like a real workout.

2) Because you do not have to think about the movement it is relatively well-suited to desk work. I can easily code during the sessions (which usually take 30-50 minutes).

3) Downside is that attaching the electrodes can take 5-10 minutes.

I came to like it and will continue using it after recovery - while working!

Of course this is no substitute for actual exercise with voluntary movements.Get up, do some push-ups, pull-ups and throw in squat jumps or similar high intensity stuff to get the heart pumping!
