TV Commercial Workout

     Another common excuse for not exercising is the TV.  It sounds silly but I have often found myself sunken  down into the couch in front of the TV not willing to move.  Here's a NO EXCUSES workout that is done during commercials.  That way, you can still watch your favorite show and still get in a little exercise.  My husband and I have actually done this several times and it was really fun!  It's a great way to add some fun to a lazy TV night.
    When we first started this, we followed the "plan" that we found.  Eventually, we changed it a little to fit more of what we wanted from a workout.  Click this link to see the original TV workout.  Below, is what we changed and of course, make the workout about YOU!  Start small and as the exercises get easier, bump it up!

TV Commercial Workout
Match the commercial type to the exercise.  Try to do the exercise for the entire commercial.  Take a water break at any time!

Car = Jog in place
Fashion/Shopping = Jumping jacks
Beauty = Lunges
Food/Restaurant = Crunches
Jewelry = Squats
Travel = Hip raises
TV show = High knees
Movie trailer = Russian twists
Fitness/Gym = Plank
