FREE DAILY FITNESS TIP

Is watching too much television one of your major weight loss hurdles? It’s easy to get into a routine of scheduling your life around your favorite TV shows each week, which can also easily get in the way of your weight loss goals. You didn’t go for a run Sunday night because Desperate Housewives was on, or you missed out on the hike your friends took this weekend because the big game was on. If watching TV has become an addiction for you, it’s time to exercise some self-discipline and cut down on how much time you spend in front of the tube. How much is too much? A healthy adult should watch no more than one or two hours of television a day, so if your TV habit is way over that mark, it’s time to take a break. But for those shows that you just can’t miss, make TV time work for you. Take a cue from the authors of “The Commercial Break Workout Book” and use TV downtime to your advantage. Make it a goal to complete 10 pushups and 20 sit-ups during every commercial break, or try jump roping for the entire break. There are easily five, 5-minute breaks during a 1-hour TV show, which means you can get a 25 minute workout in without having to drive to the gym. Watch two 1-hour shows and you almost have a full hour of exercise in for the day! Turn your guilty pleasure into a healthy past-time, and you can take the guilt out of watching TV.
