Torn between making time for your favorite show and still having enough time to get a work out in? Just combine the two!! The average 2 hour television program has about 36 minutes of commercials. If you simply jog in place at each commercial break of EWL tonight, you will have burned 327 calories by the end of the show! 327 calories is enough to burn off that cup of ice cream you ate last night! Now, I dare YOU to run during every commercial break with me tonight. Come back tomorrow and claim your bragging rights in the comments if you stepped up and jogged during every single commercial! Good luck!!

I accept that challenge as well!!! Woo hoo
I’m gonna give that a try tonight 🙂
I love this! I workout during commercial breaks and my children (11 and 1) join along. My husband sits there…I’m going to share this with him because it backs me up! 🙂
I’ll do it for sure!!!!
That is a challenge to take. YES I WIL!!
If my eldest requests me at her bedside, I doubt I’ll be able to jog during every commercial break, but I’m willing to try!
It’s a good idea, but how did you come up with 327 calories?? I usually
figure about 100 calories a mile, and there’s no way I can jog over 3 miles in 18 minutes.
This 327 calorie figure was just an example. The exact number of calories you’ll burn depends on your body weight. Happy jogging! 🙂
Another tip: When you are watching TV and need to use the restroom, always walk/jog to the farthest one from your position. For me, that’s an extra 120 steps round trip!
I just recently started doing this with TV shows after 8pm… I’m constantly getting up moving. Love it!!!
