I just joined a new group on Sparkpeople and read a thread about bathroom exercises and I thought, what a great idea! With all the water I'm drinking, I am in the bathroom constantly. The idea is that when you take a trip to the bathroom, use it as an opportunity to get a little strength exercise in: wall pushups, squats, lunges, etc. We have a small bathroom here at school, so lunges are def out, and it's one bathroom shared with 7 other faculty and staff members, so I have to be careful how much time I spend in there, but there's enough time to do some wall push ups both times I've been in there so far today. I tried some squats and did about 10 of them, but the knee did not like that at all, but I will keep trying anyway. I just thought of this too...I can put the free weights I have in the bathroom and get some sets of bicep curls or something while at home. Does anyone else do this? What kind of exercises do you do?

I've never done bathroom exercises, nor heard of them. But it sounds like it might be a good idea, especially the wall push-ups.
Hmmmm! I'm not sure there is room in my bathroom but certainly a great idea while at work. Every little bit helps.
Thanks for the comment left for me last month or longer ago.
It has been a rough time sorting myself out but I think I'm on the way again. So many false starts lead me to be cautious.
I've never done bathroom exercises but what a great idea. I love sparkpeple but I've never explored their groups, I'll have to check those out.
