Fall is coming – Which means new television shows, more blockbuster movies, and endless amounts of food and holiday cheer (if you’re into that sort of thing… I’m not *stands in corner protecting Christmas Tree put up in July*)
Those New Year’s Resolutions you’ve been clinging onto (hardly) in hopes to have nailed your swim suit ready look are out the window come October (yes, people prep their stomachs to be able to handle the overload come Thanksgiving).
So I say, stuff your face with good intentions. Good food, good people, good televsion is on its way – embrace the change (yes, I’m referring to your pant size).
Here is a quick workout from the best person on the planet – a couch potato.
1. Remote Access – Leave the remote on the coffee table. Each time a commercial comes up you can lean forward, fast forward, and lean back. That’s like a ten second ab workout! Go you, you crazy wild tiger!
2. Spoon Yourself – Eating dinner on the couch? Sit at the edge of the couch, sitting straight up. Bring the silverware to you. Whoa – what happened – that’s right, we’re promoting great posture and strengthened those arms of yours!
3. Leg up – Do you stretch out on the couch? During a show make a point to lift your legs up above it’s resting place and count to five. Do this during the entire show and you’ve worked your leg muscles! You wo’t even need to wear heels to tighten those calves anymore… MEOW!
4. Head Rush – Lay upside down on your couch while watching a show. This provides an alternate angle for your viewing pleasure AND stretches out your back!
5. Dance Dumb – Your fav television show is about to start? Listen to the intro music and do a quick ten second dance. Jab your arms, kick your feet, and wiggle all about! If your man OR woman is around – a free lap dance doesn’t hurt – just make sure you’ve recorded the new fall preview. You don’t want to be the only one NOT talking about it the next day!
Craplandia Disclaimer: This is not terrible advice but if you’re looking for weight loss I’d suggest you find someone who actually has experience with the art of motivation and weight loss.
Haha, my family are going to start finding me even more annoying to watch TV with now!
You’d do fabulously in my house – plenty crap going on!
LOL!! This is GREAT! I’m pumped for the holidays, new shows and sitting on the edge of my couch all at once!
Just one more reason to get excited for the holidays. That time of year is the perfect time to sit on your ass and practice posture!
Bahahaha!!
Well. Done.
I’ve finally broken down and gotten a DVR. My years of, “I don’t really watch television,” are officially over, and I’m so lamely excited about fall programming, that it’s more than a little lame. I have a strong feeling that my “As soon as it cools off, I’m going to start hiking all the time,” is about to be usurped by new episodes of The New Girl.
Oh New Girl – hiking isn’t a priority unless you can hike WHILE watching New Girl…. Now that’d be awesome.
I think that if you’re working out watching New Girl, it’s sort of required that you’re riding a beach cruiser with a friggin’ ding-ding bell on it. And it has to have a basket. And glitter.
This was very funny 🙂 Some good advice there!!
