    I thought it was going in a different direction as well! Would have been nice to see some responses about that. Im sure you can burn a lot of calories doing just that!

    Actually ... I didn't think you were going 'somewhere else' with this post .... So what does that say about me?! :tongue: :laugh:
    I do a lot of exercises on my bed because I can't get up and down from the floor because of arthritis.

    Awww shoot! A missed educational opportunity. :tongue:

    I do some low back and core exercises on the bed because of a couple slipped discs and sciatica. Usually done in the morning before I get up..... it doesn't even wake the boyfriend up anymore! lol

    Every one of my mfp friends know.... it's part of my exercise log. :love: :flowerforyou: Hey, I'm all about make love not war! War might burn more calories, but love feels better!!! :laugh: :laugh:

    I *personally* think it should be counted but there's been tons of debate on that very topic here and its gotten very heated to the point that the moderators took the thread down. But it's also a personal decision.

    As far as OTHER bed exercises, there's not enough space in my bedroom to do that really.. but I'll do chair exercises if I'm in an office setting for long periods of time. Mostly legs and some abs ("chair crunches"). :-)

    I can do push ups..put both hands on my bed..slide myself down to the floor and push myself back up using my arms. I broke my ankle 8 years back and went up and down the stairs using my free foot to push up and my arms to get up on the stairs above me..heck of a workout.
