Whoever is interested and available walks to a central area and does an exercise for 5 min or so. It's a nice break in the day and totally voluntary. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412815 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 18:51:23 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1412815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My friend does squats while her brushing their teeth... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412793 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 18:36:43 +0000 Foodnerd81 1412793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walk as much as I can when the weather is nice enough- I get exercise, Lo and I both get fresh air, and I get the groceries or whatever I needed. Plus we are up 2 flights and I'm carrying a 16 lb baby in car seat plus groceries up!</p> <p>Lately when c is getting cranky I do exercises with her- hold her on my stomach while I do bridges, and lay on my back and hold her over me while I do baby chest presses. She thinks it's hilarious! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412532 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:31:54 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1412532@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mamaof2: I agree with this, there are a lot of muscle exercises you can do while sitting at your desk, even just focusing on posture! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412465 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 16:04:47 +0000 Freckles 1412465@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Squats and planks during lunch time, take the stairs to the office. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412378 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 15:34:01 +0000 lemondrop 1412378@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm impressed, Girl!

I'm calling chasing C my exercise until after #2 comes! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412361 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 15:26:41 +0000 Mrs. Champagne 1412361@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I do squats while I blow dry my hair! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412356 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 15:22:25 +0000 psw27 1412356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I walk to work both ways instead of taking the subway 3 stops. It's about 4 miles a day... plus my office is so overly heated and dry its good to get the freezing cold fresh air! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412351 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 15:20:33 +0000 plantains 1412351@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Walk up the stairs instead of using the escalator in the subway station. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/little-things-you-do-to-exercise-during-the-day#post-1412054 Mon, 10 Feb 2014 13:56:04 +0000 lamariniere 1412054@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We don't have a car, so I walk everywhere.
