Hanging-Extending Question

I am a newbie and I understand that Hanging/Extending is not to be for newbies. However, I am in professional school which gives me a great deal of alone time. I sit in a chair and read about 5-7 hours a day at least. I have been doing a version of the newbie routine about two days on and one day off. I also have started running/lifting weights/boxing.

Now for my question. Do you think it would be very bad to try hanging/extending during my reading time? I do not want to hurt myself but, I feel as though at this point in my life I could benefit from the time sitting down reading in other ways as well. In addition, all of this alone time and a computer = much more masturbation. About 3 times a day. I have also tried to cut this down as well as go on a diet.

Any information appreciated.

After you did the newbie routine for at least 3 months start increasing your stretching time, you can do that too while reading. The reason I suggest stretching is that it is easier to do, safer, cheaper and gives at least the same gains as hanging.
