OK, I'll start:
I do calf raises while brushing my teeth. :smile:

Surely I'm not the only one who does stuff like this ... right?! :laugh:

    I hop in place while at work when I'm waiting at the register. I also hype it up by doing a little boogie hop!

    Haha, I lift weights every day at work (in the form of chairs, tales and trays).... but that doesn't really count, does it? I do calf raises while rolling/polishing silverware.

    I don't know if it's really an exercise, but I randomly flex my calves all the time. Mostly because they're badass and I like the way they look.

    I do general arm work (with small weights) while watching TV and I do lots of stretching in the shower.

    Boring, I know. :tongue:

    I do squats while brushing my teeth, and nice, easy floor stretches when watching TV (which is hardly ever, but still...).

    Squats & arm circles while my lunch is microwaing at work. Or leg lifts - like high knees but without the jumping. I don't really want my coworkers wondering what the heck I'm doing! :laugh:

    I lay on the floor while watching TV and do arm exercises with 5-lb weights, and throw in some ab work as well. Also, I do squats in the kitchen while waiting for the microwave. :happy:

    I've been doing them for as long as I can remember. Or I'll do leg lifts just to switch things up.

    Last time I did this, the guy behind me was like ... "Look at her, she's getting a workout and we're over here buying beer. Shame." Bahaha. I laughed.

    A slight or not so slight (depending who else is around) butt clench with every step while walking. Someone told me this was a good way to keep your booty firm years ago and I still do it periodically, and my bum is pretty darn firm for someone my age.

    I dance to the rhythm of the printer.

    I also face my fanny towards the wall and do butt clenches.

    I balance on one leg while waiting in line.


    Kinda got caught with the dancing the other day by the big boss:blushing:
