Chances are I am probably not going to talk you out of your TV habit so let's instead use this time to get fit!
Make a list of 3-4 bodyweight exercises such as:
- Squats
- Push-ups
- Alternating Lunges
- Jumping Jacks
- Burpees (I dare you!)
- Crunches
- Mountain Climbers
- Squat Thrusts
Watch TV. Every time a commercial comes on complete one of the exercises on your list doing as many reps as you can for the entire commercial. When another commercial comes on move on to another exercise. If you reach the end of the list of your exercises start at the top of the list again and keep repeating.
Complete this for a 30-minute TV show if you are a beginner, a 60-minute TV show if you are intermediate and for a complete 90 minutes of TV time if you are an advanced exerciser.The TV Commercial Workout also helps in another way. Sitting in front of the TV is the enemy of good eating habits. You are bombarded with food commercials, you are in close proximity to the food and you aren't expending much energy anyway.
Substituting a workout for binge eating habits can make a dramatic difference in how you look and feel after just a few weeks. Do this 3-4 times each week and you'll soon be finding yourself leaner and fitter without ever missing your favorite TV shows!
