I love this:

Sometimes people have different ambitions and conditions and everybody can’t, or simply don’t want to, head down to the gym or catch a spinning class at 7pm.
Nano workout addresses these problems from the complete opposite direction. Nano workouts are based on the situation you are in and suggests small short exercises using the natural conditions the situation provides. By breaking down your day to the most common situations you find yourself in and analyzing them to see how they can be optimized from a training perspective you can through Nano workouts achieve a more healthy life, no matter what your day looks like. A small amount of exercise many times becomes a lot when added up. For instance if you exercise when brushing your teeth it will add up to 24 hours during one year.
