:D Anyone else here feel like they get a good workout from stimming? This is admittedly kind of a goofy premise, but I can't help wonder if at least a small part of why I have such good core strength is that I rock back and forth a lot when I am writing on the computer or watching TV.

Well I have always been thin and have a washboard type belly. Never thought of it that way before though haha.

Like I said, this is mostly meant to be a funny premise, but it would admittedly be nice if I could tell people "Hey, I'm working out here!" when people ask me to stop moving while I'm doing something.

I've never considered it as exercise before but I have the thought that it was a good way to burn calories. Now that you mention it...:)

I certainly don't get any workout from my stims - it's hard to get a workout from things like rubbing my eyebrows, blowing air into the arm of my shirt, biting my nails, and scratching my fingers with my nails...
:D
