So I thought it'd be fun if we could collectively come up with ways we could incorporate getting in shape while we are knitting/crocheting/what have you.
For example:
People who are really coordinated and good at multitasking (not me!) could maybe do squats while they knit!
Or we could knit while on the treadmill. lol

You could use an elliptical or cycle while you knit!0

I've thought about sitting on the larger exercise ball I have while watching tv. The constant need to keep steady is good for the abs and back. It supposedly will use more calories than sitting on the couch. I bet I could knit at the same time.
Most other fitness and me knitting would end in either tangles or tears or more likely both.

That actually sounds do-able...I might try it!!0

I put my yarn in a shoulder bag and knit while walking. As long as its rather simple pattern and not too heavy, this works great for me.0

I can only do that on a treadmill. I once tried to read a short note while walking and ran into a parked car!I've thought about sitting on the larger exercise ball I have while watching tv.

That's a really good idea actually... I may try that because I can also pump at the same time (talk about multitasking!)0 -
I tried walking and knitting once, dropped a stitch and couldn't find it bc the pattern was so intricate that I never tried again. Had to frog the scarf too.
