When Spencer Harrison and James Ford's efforts to put up a bedroom blind went awry, they discovered house gymnastics. Their folly has grown into what they call a cross between yoga, breakdancing, climbing, and gymnastic all in the comforts of home. Who needs expensive equipment or pricey gym memberships, when you have a staircase banister?

Their Web site features 24 "classic" house gymnastics moves with photos and how-to guides, but look out for the difficulty rating before you attempt. Moves like the "Spiderman" and the "X door" are no easy feat. House gymnastics. Silly, maybe. Creative, definitely.
