Recently I have started doing this with my kids and they love it. On one Friday we watched an Episode of Angry Beavers and used the word WOOD. We decided to do 5 sit ups every time we heard it. We ended up doing 15 sit ups during that episode. Right after we watched an Episode of Spider Man and used the word WEB. We ended up doing another 15 sit ups.
The next day we ended up doing even more sit ups then that. Today my abs hurt so we are switching it up a bit and are doing 10 jumping jacks instead.
Here are some good exercise choices to choose from:
- Sit ups
- Push ups
- Jumping Jacks
- Bicycles
- Mountain Climbers
- Burpees
- Squats
If you are an over achiever you can always choose to do push ups for one word and sit ups for another word. Have fun and be consistent. You will notice after a few weeks that the exercises are coming easier.
If your watching something you can pause, just count the number of times the word is said and during a commercial brake, get up and see if you can do all of the before the show starts again. Make this your family tradition too. You won't regret it.
