My job is really sedentary, and I'm trying to fit a little more exercise into my working day. I thought maybe 10 squats every time I go to the loos. Is anyone else doing anything like this, or am i a weirdo?
I think I would benefit from different exercises though - what can I do in a tiny space that's quick? I can think of heel lifts, and then i'm out of ideas...
How about rapid punching?
Is this just punching, or is it a weird exercise move I've not heard of?
Just punching!
Thanks! I had horrible visions it was some new move involving jumping/lunging! Punching is a great idea! I'll make sure no one is in the next cubicle while I do it! 
Stand up, it's better than sitting, go for a walk on the way in to work, at lunchtime and on the way home. I get on the tube a stop later, and get off a stop earlier on my morning and evening journeys. I also walk up the stairs at work, and try and get out for a 30 min walk at lunchtime. That way I walk 5km a day.
Certainly not weird, I have been known to do all kinds of movements whilst in the kitchen or getting ready for bed !!
No not weird, just sounds weird when you say it out loud. I also do squats in the loos at work But I haven't thought of any other loo based exercises... so far...
Great idea Cooper27 but also made me smile 😆😆😆 Go for it!
Any movement is good ☺ I purposely take the stairs at every opportunity, park further away in car parks, step on the spot when washing up etc ☺
Have fun! Lol 😆
How about grabbing those few minutes when your television programme goes over to adverts? A couple of squats, sit ups, bend-and-stretch....
My husband is mobility-challenged so I encourage him to do a couple of sit-to-stands at those times. He says it helps - that said, I notice he is sticking more to the BBC -can this be a sign?
Ha ha - think so! We don't have a TV licence, we just watch lots of Netflix show - I might start doing something between shows though!
We have an exercise bike and I have a log term ongoing problem with my knee for which it is really good - the last couple of days I've nipped into the conservatory to do 20 to 30 minutes on it while the veg for my dinner cooks - I'd only be sitting in front of the tv waiting otherwise - only trouble is my behind is not appreciating the saddle - any tips anyone?
You could sit on a folded up jumper? I don't like bike seats myself!
That's a good idea - am definitely feeling it in my behind this morning
Many years ago I cycled round the whole of The Isle of Man, thinking it was flat, it was so painful on my rear end, I ended up pushing the dam thing, until I came up with a bright idea, went to local store and bought a very large car shampoo sponge, two in fact, put them down my trousers, what a difference, so comfortable, worth a try
I like it! Will copy your idea. How about pulling your tummy in 10 times quickly, then pulling in and holding for the count of 10?
This is a good one! I can do this at my desk too!
Don't forget the pelvic floor exercises too.
