Shorter increments throughout the day is absolutely a productive way to exercise. Any amount of movement is great, and it's more enjoyable if it fits into your schedule, rather than making it a chore.

thanks for the link. sometimes I don’t feel like going to the gym so I’ll just abesent-mindedly do curls with 10 pound weights while watching TV. Thanks for easing my mind a bit.
Great advice here.
It’s the exact method I use to get better at pull-ups.
I have a pull-up bar in my doorframe. The rule now is: Do 2-3 reps each time I enter the living room.
Works well, the numbers go up
I'm glad to hear it worked for you too, Phil! It sounds like you've set up your bar in the most ideal place.
Great post, Adam. I was just wondering about this the other day and hoping working out in small increments wasn't "worthless."

That sounds like a pretty smart choice! And I'm sure whatever you've got on the tube is far more mindful than the crap they play at the gym!
I'm using GTG with Captains of Crush handgrippers right now, awesome method! And the Rollins quote,🤘!!!
