What little things do you fit into your everyday routine for exercise or whatnot? For example whenever there are stairs I need to take I do two at a time instead of one for the legs. I know someone who squats while making dinner or grocery shopping lol. What are your little things if you have any?

    Personally, I don't view little things as exercise. They are just part of life. If I'm taking the stairs instead of the elevator, then it's part of a healthier life. Exercise are my workouts, my runs, my rides, etc. Not stairs or moving furniture or walking the dog.

    JMO.

    I'm not saying it's a sole exercise . It's added things to a fitness routine like calf raises while brushing teeth etc I think I mis worded it . Oh well.

    I keep myself from getting sluggish at my desk by doing plank, push-ups and tricep dips in my cubicle, or jogging up/down the stairs. It keeps me awake and brings my heart rate up! :happy:
