Couch Potato Fitness

I am beyond lucky to have a beautiful gym right here in my building. I am also lucky enough to have a flexible schedule that allows me to work out when no one else does. But even with the best intentions, and the best case scenario, some days I just don't want to work out. We've all been there. Or at least that's what I tell myself on those days. I recently stumbled on this website that gathered TV workouts for 43 different shows. I was intrigued. You mean I can work out while doing the most lazy thing of all? Sign me up.

The lists are tailored to shows and mix up your workouts for a great core training. And while I loved the concept, I found some of them to be too tricky or just too complicated for me to really stick to it. I was motivated though and took it upon myself to make up an any show TV workout. Made to be done during any commercial break, during one show a night, with repeat sets of the same workout. For the floor work, I sit right in front of the TV and for anything standing up I use my kitchen island for balance. Hope this inspires some of you couch potatoes too.

Commercial Break Core Workout
30 seconds plank- This is usually the length of one commercial, you can do it!
15 plie squats- Wide stance, toes turned out. (For an added calf workout rise to your toes when you're in a deep plie.)

10 reverse leg lifts per side- I do this standing up at the island but you can also do this from the floor.

10 side bends per side- Use a light weight for this if you're feeling motivated, if you don't have one, grab two water bottles!

10 push ups- Nothing works those arms like a good old fashion push up.
10 inner thigh lifts per side- This is a bonus but a great thigh toner.

That's it! Work that into 5 commercial breaks and you'll be happy when the show is over. Anyone have any at home fitness favorites?
