Traffic Tushies:
Stoplights and traffic are a fact of life. Make the most of your time by squeezing your glutes when you are stopped in traffic or at a stoplight. See if you can hold it until the light turns green or the traffic starts to move.

Waiting Wall Pushups:
You've got time on your hands while you wait for something, find the closest wall, and place both hands at shoulder height, stepping back from the wall (the farther back your feet are, the more challenging this will be). Lower your body towards the wall. Use your chest and arms to push away from the wall back to starting position.
