Advert Break Workout

Do you ever complain at how many advert breaks there seem to be during your favourite TV programme? Well instead of seeing it as a nuisance and heading to the biscuit tin, embrace the 3 minute time window and perform a circuit of exercises. For instance, you might do 2-3 sets of lunges or press ups. This is a great way to get your daily exercise, to be more active and have some fun. 3 minutes of exercise might not sound much, but if you do the 3 minutes for at least 5 TV Advert Breaks during the evening then you will be getting at least 15 minutes of high intensity exercise.

For instance, for advert break 1 you could do 3 sets of 45 seconds of lunging, for advert break 2 you could do 3 sets of 10-15 press ups, for advert break 3 you could do 3 sets of 45 seconds of squatting, for advert break 4 you could do 3 sets of 10-15 tricep dips and for advert break 5 you could do 3 sets of 45 seconds of Burpees. The exercises and sequences you decide to do are almost infinite.

Work hard for the 3 minute window (get the family involved) and you will soon start to notice a difference with your fitness, strength and appearance. Additionally, because you will be doing regular short, fast bursts this is great for preventing boredom, raising your heart rate and burning calories.

Give the TV advert break workout a go - you might surprise yourself.

Keep up the great work,
