You spend two minutes in the morning and two at night brushing your teeth. Instead of just standing around, make even better use of that time by incorporating a few simple movements for balance, flexibility, and strength.
The five movements fitness coach John Sifferman demonstrates here are:
One-legged stand or the alternative 4 corner balance
Rock-bottom squat or squat movements (Lifehacker reader Alec Glen sometimes does one-legged squats instead of standing on one leg while brushing his teeth)
Calf raises
Hip mobility drills
Foot massage with a tennis ball
This little fitness hack won't radically transform your body or count as your exercise for the day, but as Sifferman notes, any time and way you can fit in more movement, it's a win:
You’ll be one step closer to making the fit lifestyle not just something you do, but something you
embody
on a daily basis. At some point along the journey, fitness becomes a part of your identity. And when that happens, everything gets a little bit easier.
You're probably better off doing this outside of your bathroom on non-slippery floor, by the way (though not necessarily on your back porch).
