Hi, I was wondering if anyone also does 5 squats each time they use the restroom ^^

It sure is a blessing for your butt and legs :)

Stay fit

    So five body weight squats every 2-3 hours, then?

    Yes if you drink 1,5 liters of water that's about right ^^

    This is actually a good idea to stay on track and probably a good icebreaker for starting conversations in public ladies rooms. :laugh: I have gotten into the mindset that squats are useless unless I do them with weights, but adding in a few extra bodyweight squats periodically throughout the day certainly won't hurt!

    - or jump up and crank out a few pullups on the loo door frames.

    - probably beest not to hit hte floor and start cranking out push-ups unless you scrub your hands after!

    That's a myth that a lot of lifters believe. Try squatting on one leg, or try Pistol Squats? Now do you feel it?

    I don't do bathroom squats - I jog in place while I'm washing & drying my hands (thanks to my Fitbit). I may start doing the squats instead though - just to mix it up a bit - thanks for the idea!

    I don't do this every time but this has motivated me and given me a goal.

    Cheers!

    Change your activity level simply :) That's what I did because I can't put on my Polar FT7 belt and watch just to check the few calories I burn ^^

    Awesome idea! Not sure if I'll do this at work in my heels, but definitely at home!

    Does it have to be in the Lady's loo? Also, can I make manly grunting noises like when I lift heavy stuff in the Gym and I want everyone to know that I'm lifting heavy stuff in the gym?!?:wink:

    :laugh: I never did before but since reading your post this morning I've been twice and did it. Really not a bad idea! I work in an office and will do 10-15 push-ups off the desk a few times a day. Adding in some bathroom squats sounds like a great idea to me.
