Watching TV can be one of the worst things for your figure. Not only are you not burning any calories while watching (which is often for hours at a time) but it usually it involves some type of snacking typically on something unhealthy (chips, soda, candy, etc). So one thing you can do to reverse that trend and turn it into a much more profitable time is to exercise during the commercials. Here are some easy exercises to do:
- Jumping Jacks
- Squats
- Lunges
- Pushups
- Situps
Just think, you could easily knock out another 15-30 mins of exercise while watching your favorite show(s) on TV. And it actually works pretty well because the commercials hold you accountable to exercise and you get plenty of rest during TV time. Also it helps you to not snack on junk food. And if you watch TV already, it doesn’t take any more time out of your schedule to exercise. So there ya go. Try it and turn TV time into a calorie/fat burning yet relaxing healthy activity. Let me know how it goes.
Great idea. This was actually really tough for me. Thing was, I would sit on the couch and think about needing to exercise. Now no excuses. I’m looking forward to trying this some more and trying to make it through all the commercials. Thanks!
