If you are a TV magnet , babysitter, or just always looking
to stay active—There are ways you can stay fit while not moving far from your
couch—and definitely without missing
your favorite television show.
Taking a few extra minutes during your favorite show to do
simple exercises that will make you feel better about yourself and relieve any
guilt you were having about being a couch potato. Try the simple exercises
listed below.
Crunch Crunch Crunch—these
are easy to do and show great results if you maintain a routine in doing them
on a regular basis. Why not take one of your favorite shows that’s on a few
times a week, and make it your new workout habit to do sets of crunches during
commercials. *hey ‘look on the bright side...it will speed up the break and
before you know it your show will be back on! Crunches are great for toning
tummies.
Fidget—move around
while your favorite show is on. Move you’re remote, or rotate your arms and
legs. As long as you’re moving you’re on the right track. Research has shown
that those who fidget while sitting can burn up to 350 more calories per day.
Push-ups—another
exercise to do during commercials that will leave you feeling the burn. Unless listening to your favorite reality
singing show, this will have to wait for a TV break because push-ups require
you to face the ground. Push-ups are great for toning your arms and strengthening
your upper body and chest.
Ball Balances—Seated
balances work with your abs. First get a ball and sit in front of your TV.
Make sure you ware next to your coffee table, to use as an aid. Sit on the ball
and have your feet on the ground. Grab hold of the table with one hand and
slowly lift your right foot of the floor—next do the same with your left.
Slowly remove your hand from the table. For safety reasons, make sure your hand
is always close enough to the table. Keep repeating this process with the goal
to maintain balance without touching the table. Once you get super comfortable
see if you can last through an entire TV show.
