Curls/Pushups in the office?

How strange would it be if I took a 2-minute break every 2-3 hours to do a set of 30 pushups in the office? Would it be acceptable for me to bring in two dumbells to curl once in a while/during off-hours?

This is actually encouraged on most trading floors! You could also bring a sledgehammer and an old tire to get your heartbeat going in the cafeteria and an ellipse machine next to your desk to get those 10 000 steps in while you pull all-nighters.

I don't know... Yeah. Almost definitely yes.
