Subway Squats: 7 Surprising Places Where Anyone Can Workout

As a busy mom, I'm always looking for ways to sneak in exercise (and share them with you, like ways to sneak exercise into your work day and ways to walk more every day). So, of course, I loved the news about how subway stations in Moscow are getting into the Olympic spirit-by encouraging passengers to squat for a free ride.Train riders can earn free rides by doing 30 squats in front of an interactive machine. love both how this gets people active and how much fun people seem to be having as they're exercising. It seems like doing something a little out of the ordinary is pretty fun for these people, not to mention that they're probably pretty stoked about the free ride! I know I would be. It also made me fantasize about a world that encouraged activity in these ways, and made it more normal to exercise when you have nothing better to do. I'd love to see exercise encouraged in everyday activities, and here are a few ideas I'd like to see. - By Erin Whitehead
