I'm not lost, really

Had 45 minutes to kill before a doctor's app't- and it was a beautiful day- so I parked the car in the parking lot- and went for a walk around the block- several times. Figured it was a much better idea than reading "food porn" magazines like Taste of Home :laugh:

About the 4th time around, the folks sitting on their porch asked me if I was lost. When I told them what I was doing, they really thought I was nuts.

So, do you find creative ways to get in a little spontaneous exercise??? Tell us what you'll do.

    Haha. this is a really funny story. :) I sometimes, do some basic ballet stretches when I have a few minutes, or simply stand tall on my toes for a minute. Probably doing nothing but I feel good. :)

    I fly often. Whenever I get past security, I walk back and forth at the airport until it's time to leave. :)

    Haha! That's funny! I do things like that all the time. My kids know not to even head for the elevator when they're with me, and when we go shopping I often park much farther away than I need to...sometimes in a completely different parking lot. I've also been known to dance while waiting in the grocery store line, and I can't pass by the hula hoop displays without trying them all out.

    I really embarrassed my teenage son by dancing in the supermarket! The poor boy was mortified!

    Sounds familiar, I've walked circuits around my apartment when the weather was bad, trailing two very confused kitties. :laugh:
