Commercial Workouts

Do you ever feel like you don't have the time to work out, but you can squeeze in an episode of, say, Oprah? Me, too. That's when I turn to what I call the "commercial workout". During every commercial break of a one hour show, do 25 of each of the following.

1. jumping jacks
2. squats
3. push ups (regular or modified)
4. double crunches (-instead of starting crunches with your knees bent and flat on the floor, knees are bent at a 90-degree angle, with the tops of the shins parallel to the floor. As you perform a crunch, bring your knees towards your face, butt lifting off of the floor. Return to starting position; that's one rep. It's sort of like curling in to a ball and releasing.)

By the end of your show, you will have performed at least 100 of each, with a nice big break between sets. Not bad for TV time!
