As much as I’m not a fan of television I know people watch and watch it a lot. Now as much as I want to tell you to stop letting all that negative programming get into your head, I’m going to hold myself back for the moment. Most people have that one show they can’t live without. Whether it be one of the hundreds of reality shows out there now, a sitcom, or game show, some people just cannot miss their favorite show.
Well instead of just lounging around eating chips and drinking pop, start by drinking water with some fruits or veggies. That would be the best start to this little workout. Now I’m just going to guess here but I’m assuming there’d be 4 or 5 commercials. Every set of commercials is probably about 2 minutes we’ll say, so that’s 8-10 minutes break from your show.
So why not get a little exercise and get those muscles working. And don’t worry about dumbbells, all that is needed here is you. So the way this sitcom workout is going to work is you are going to be doing a little circuit style workout during the commercials. You’re going to work for 20 seconds and rest for 10 seconds each exercise. So we’ll do it in 2 minute cycles, so that means we’ll do 4 exercises per commercial. READY!
COMMERCIAL 1 and 3
Exercise 1
Beginner: wall pushups Intermediate: knee or regular pushups Advanced: staggered or clap pushups
Exercise 2
Beginner: crunches Intermediate: crunches or toe touches Advanced: toe touches
Exercise 3
Beginner: jumping jacks Intermediate: jumping jacks or up/downs Advanced: up/downs
Exercise 4
Beginner: reverse crunches Intermediate: leg raises Advanced: bicycles
COMMERCIAL 2 and 4
Exercise 1
All levels: shadow boxing (move your feet around too)
Exercise 2
Beginner: knee plank Intermediate: knee plank or regular plank Advanced: regular plank
Exercise 3
Beginner: body squat Intermediate: body squat or speed squat Advanced: speed squat
Exercise 4
Beginner: hip raise Intermediate: hip raises or one-legged hip raise Advanced: one-legged hip raise
There you go. You just worked out for 8 minutes instead of sitting there. Feels good, doesn’t it? Remember to keep drinking that water during the actual show itself and you can keep snacking on those veggies too. For the one-legged exercise, do each leg for ten seconds each or do a different leg at each commercial.
If your show is an hour, well then you can workout even longer if you want. And if you get bored there’s always more workouts being given out in my newsletters. You can sign up for that at http://www.bodytransformationcoach.com.
