Watching television is the most common leisure activity along with surfing the internet. Once in awhile (with emphasis on the "Once"), you may watch television especially on shows on the History Channel, National Geographic Channel, or other better channels. You may watch some of these "reality shows" but there does not seem to be any redeemable value on those types of show. But, I digress. You can keep physically active while watching television. Here is a workout routine you can do during commercials.
Do a round of push-ups. You can vary the kinds of push-ups for variety. If you have a pull-up bar available, that would be great. But, if you can do some push-ups, then that is better than doing nothing. Push-ups are great for the chest, shoulders, and triceps. Try to work on getting 100 push-ups in a few sets. Also, try to vary your hand-position. When your hands are closer together, you will be working on the triceps more. Later, try clapping push-ups, plyrometric push-ups, or even one-armed push-ups.
Sprint in place. Sprinting in place will get your metabolism in gear. Sprint in place for 20 seconds then rest for 10 seconds. Then, do this round again until the commercials are over. Sprinting is an excellent anaerobic activity for your body. You will continue to breath hard long after the exercise is over. This is a key for muscle tone and even fat loss.
Do crunches together with back flexor exercises. Do about 25 reps of crunches. Then, flip over and do about 25 reps of back flexors. You will hit the abdominals and lower back at the same time. I am not a big fan of crunches. But, done together with back flexors, it is a good exercise to do during commercial breaks.
In one thirty-minute span, you should be able to go through all three of these routines (push-ups, sprints, crunches/back flexors). Keep active. Now, if you are watching over 2 hours of TV every night, you may want to cut back on your TV and do some quality workouts. Do not watch too much TV. If you do watch some TV, you can do these exercises during commercial breaks:
* Push-ups
* Sprint in place
* Crunches/Back-flexors
Activity is always better than inactivity. It is best to set aside a time and place when you do your exercise routine. On those rare instances where you find yourself watching television, try out this exercise routine.
