All this talk about dating and romance has reminded one of our readers to revisit her exercise regime to keep her body fit and to look her best on dates. She gladly shares it with us in hopes that it will help other people who simply “do not have time” to exercise.
One of the things that works extremely well for her is to exercise while watching TV.
For those who watch TV, this is just the perfect time for you to catch up on your exercise. And if you are like some people who do not like to be disturbed nor to multi-task while watching their TV programs, you can still make this work for you by exercising during commercials. Commercials are usually lengthy and would be sufficient time for you to do a quick exercise.
What makes this even better is the fact that you don’t need a to have a full gym equipment at home to turn your TV room into a fitness room. You can simply scout around the house and you will be amazed at what you find. If your TV room isn’t carpeted, all you need is a cushy floor mat.
For dumbbells, you can use canned goods or jugs which you can fill with either sand or water. Just be careful about usually half-filled containers as you can get badly hurt when the weight shifts around when you exercise. It would be best for you to figure out how heavy you want your homemade weights to be and then find a container that matches the weight you want.
Once you find your “dumbbells,” you can store them in your TV room so you can easily grab it when it’s time to watch your TV programs. Start doing this on a consistent schedule. Since TV programs are usually on a consistent schedule, attaining this goal won’t be difficult for you. You will start noticing some developments after about a month if you work on this consistently at least twice a week.
There are a lot of other exercises which can be done without any special equipments and which can be done during commercial breaks. Below are just some of the examples which she has shared with us:
- push-ups
- sit-ups
- stretching
- leg raises
- standing squats
