On Work time

At work I sometimes use my 'down-time' to get some workout in. Call me crazy, but I will go to the bathroom and do three sets of 12 rep squats. I also stretch a lot in there.... people probably think I'm bombing the place... but nope! Ok. Maybe I am weird. :laugh:

    I've totally worked out in a bathroom before... but I really don't have to worry about being stuck sitting around at "work" since I'm a dance instructor :D

    I've been known to do a few yoga moves in the bathroom, nothing like a few forward folds to stretch out the back.

    I use my work time, while on tele conferences to troll the forums and see what kind of evil I can conjure up.

    I'll behave today.

    where I did my internship last year, the females in the offce would shut their door for 15 minutes and do ab excersises, dips, all kinda stuff. I cant remember if it was every two hours or whatever interval they did it. Not weird, you just need to know you can get away with it .

    Hey if smokers can take a 15 minute "health break", then I don't see why we can't too!

    I don't see "Squats in the Bathroom" in your diary. Although if someone saw that without reading this tread they might be a little confused. :huh:

    I have 24 students waiting for me when I get out of the restroom. They'd all wonder why I'm taking so long and coming back to class out of breath! :laugh:

    Where I work, everyone gets two 15 minute breaks. Some people use them to smoke and others for whatever.

    Since I have a desk job, I try to get in at least some stretching every few hours.
    But I've gotten kind of lazy about it recently. lol

    Doing stretches or other exercises in the bathroom is a great idea.
