This may seem silly, but think about how long it takes you to blow dry your hair. Just in those 5 to 10 minutes, you could be fitting in some strengthening and stretching moves for your ankles, calves, shins, quads, hamstrings, booty, lower back, and even your abs. Here are some ideas.
- Do squats and side lunges to tone your thighs and glutes.
- Work your quads and your abs with alternating knee lifts. Hold one leg up at a time for at least five seconds. To make it harder, straighten the lifted leg. Balancing on one foot will also strengthen the muscles in the leg that's on the ground.
- Strengthen your calves and shins with heel lifts.
- Ankle rolls will stretch the muscles in your feet.
- Prop your foot up on the sink, keep that leg straight and fold forward to stretch your hamstring. Hold for at least 30 seconds on each side.
- You can also stretch out your hip by doing Standing Pigeon on the sink.
- Stretch out your lower back and hamstrings with a relaxing Forward Bend (and dry the back of your hair at the same time).
Fit's Tip: If you don't blow dry your hair everyday, you can always challenge your sense of balance while you brush your teeth.

So funny...I often stretch my hamstrings with my leg propped on the counter when I blow dry my hair because it is right after my shower...after my run. I thought it was just strange...
1I usually try to work on just streatching when I blow-dry my hair because it's so BORING! But I only really blow-dry my hair twice a week sooooo....
2LOL!
I TOTALLY do squats while drying my hair!!!! And when I flip my hair over to get the other side, I do focus on stretching.
How funny! I thought I was weird for doing this!
3I am not this coordinated
4I'll try it, but I don't think I'm coordinated enough either!
5I just started doing this the other day and its kind of awkward feeling, but definitely good to do.
6haha how clever.
7Haha I do squats while applying my cellulite cream twice a day.Double strike for cellulite!
