Reply to comment by henman215 in Walking or body weight squat "activity snacks" increase dietary amino acid utilization for myofibrillar protein synthesis during prolonged sitting - PubMed by McBleezy8

Programmer. I mean it only takes a few seconds to rattle off 5 squats. Standing up from your chair? Add 5 squats. Same with sitting down. I don’t even have to take my hands off the keyboard and I can do them. After awhile it’s second nature to find a few moments to do a few squats. You’re pretty much doing a squat any time you sit down, add a few more

I suppose if I'd work with other people they'd notice, probably think it's a little odd for a bit but they'd get used to it

Same here. I do tons of random “nano-workouts” throughout the day. I have a pull-up bar with rings next to my desk and also through in misc core workouts throughout the day. Coupled with frequent stretching, it has significantly helped my health/fitness imo. Oh, and controlling my mouth helps a lot.
