\nFind an open area in the bathroom where you won’t bump into anything and do a set of squats. You don’t\u2028 have to do a lot of these to get an effective workout since you’re working the largest muscle group in your \u2028body. See this post on how to do the perfect squat<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\nThis simple yoga pose<\/a><\/strong> is perfect for those who have been sitting at a desk for a few hours. Since it’s not\u2028 a difficult pose, most people should be able to do it and reap the refreshing rewards. Try this modified\u2028 version: Stand with your feet together and arms in a prayer position. Inhale and raise your arms above\u2028 your head. As you exhale reach behind you creating an arch in your back. On another inhale bring your arms \u2028back above your head to come out of the arch. With the next exhale bend forward and reach to the ground.\u2028 Return to your starting position on an inhale. If your back is feeling tight, hold the arch or forward \u2028fold for an extra breath cycle.<\/p>\n
\nSide stretches are a good way to loosen stiff muscles if you’ve been sitting for a while. You can do them \u2028in smaller spaces by putting one hand on your hip and stretching your other arm overhead as you\u2028 reach to the opposite side. Hold for 30 seconds, and then switch sides.<\/p>\n
\nA simple quad stretch completes your 5-minute bathroom workout. You can use the sink or wall to help you stay\u2028 balanced if needed. Stand on one leg and gently pull your opposite heel up and back until you feel a\u2028 stretch in your quadricep. Be sure to keep your knees close together as you hold the stretch for 30 \u2028seconds, then switch legs.<\/p>\n
