Advert break fitness

Post by Sunny B »

I have had another mad idea - I have decided that while the ads are on if I'm watching tv I will get up and quickly do a few exercises each time. As some of the breaks can be up to 6 minutes, I think that will be quite useful. The exercises will be quite gentle, as I will not have warmed up, but anything is better than nothing.

thats a good idea, i tend to get up and do a job, like packed lunches or washing.

I've just bought gym membership (manily for the swimming) but have tried a spinning class today and realised how unfit i am!! so am not thinking of going to the gym to watch neighbours, on an exercise bike!!!

Sunny - brilliant idea, may join your scheme!!! )t'

Dave - there is always those moments when they show the O logo, either folk cycling round or something, use that time to exercise, but no cycling round the living room!

Bollybarb, mind how you go! Are you trying to get fit too? Gym, spinning and power walking, very good )t' . I'm still limited because of my bad knee (which I have now been told may last a year {cry} ), but must do more swimming. Would you believe I still have not been able to find a cheap exercise bike anywhere???

Last night during the ads I did some arm exercises with light dumbells, some leg and bum exercises and some sit ups. I have to say that the ad break when I was doing sit ups seemed to take forever to end!
