If you feel inclined, you can set up a treadmill or elliptical machine, do a few circuits jump off & let er rip.

I've seen a few LE agencies, police academies & training groups that used the method. It's unorthodox but a good way to increase your heart rate/BP/etc just like a real critical incident.
I would not advise doing jumping jacks, push-ups or windmills at your local gun range.

I'm sure some other lane or shooter will be put-off by the distraction(s). It's also a safety issue if you keep your loaded weapon on you.
