Just back from my Mexican jaunt of four months. I can not wait to get back to my TV adds and getting in shape for the world masters in July. Four months of hard swimming workouts and lots of TV adds to do my land exercises. Tune in to the Shopping Network. Nothing but one big loooooooooooooooong ad. You'll break new records.

Just on CNN they said to lose weight, dance or do exercises during commercials and not to eat infront of the TV. And just as they say this, they also say, "Don't go away" or "Stay with us" or, you know their usual drivel.

When I raced the marathon races and an add came on, 50 push ups, a few minutes later 50 stomach crunches, then 50 heel lifts, then 50 leg rises while laying on the floor either front or back. George you've just put an image in my head I can't shake. Abou Heif and you, racing a Marathon and the TV is in the team boat and every time commercials come on, you start this routine. :applaud:

When not watching TV I have spent many hours watching this site the Eagle nesting and they just announced they are afraid the eggs are not going to hatch??? It is a slow load sometimes over a million hits a day, Just saw a report on this web site 10 million hits a day. This site no longer works www.infotecbusinesssystems.com/.../default.asp

Get rid of Tivo?! What a horrible thought. I love watching an hour show in about 40 to 45 minutes because it helps me to maximize my tv time. Anyways I'll do my abs while watching the show. :)

I'll have to start doing this! I sometimes stretch while I watch TV, and strength work would probably be a good addition.

Originally posted by Fitswimmer04 I guess that kind of eliminates the need for a Tivo.... Use that Tivo money for some new suits!

At one time there used ot be a cops workout. Everytime a cop or crimminal said a certain word you did a certain exercise. It was a great half- hour work out.

On another list I once belonged, to someone told of their "commercialval" bike workouts. I have started to do that, and at the gym when on the stationary bike I sprint during each commercial -- they end up being around 2.5 to 2.75 minutes long. I love it -- it breaks up the bike time, and adds to some speed work and higher heart rate zone workouts. Nancy

You are a very unique individual. If America was to practice the same,... we would see the end to our health care problems. Then again, four months of fun in the sun was probably spent with a sombrero on, and many Coronas. :) Go George.

I watch TV at least 4 hours a day, this gives me almost 90 minutes of time to get my workouts done. Just off to the side of my couch. George

hehehe I do similar stuff, but during yoga or pilates DVDs. Every time there's just talking, usually between exercises, I do pushups or crunches. 30 min DVD workout, kind of easy by itself, turns into a major workout... I'll have to start doing it during TV commercials, but I only watch one show weekly, so it won't be a big workout ;)

Good thought, George, and something I've done from time to time. Doing something good for your body while watching TV - great multi-tasking!!!

I keep my recumbent bike right in front of the TV at home. On my non-swimming days, I do at least 30 minutes of bike -- while watching the Food Network.
