Need to veg out and lose yourself in your favorite show (I’m looking at you This Is Us!) but also need to workout?! Don’t worry, we’ve got your back! Back in the good ol’ Extreme Weight Loss days, this little commercial break burn was one of our workout tips! Such a quick, easy way to sneak in a pump without interrupting your regularly scheduled day. I’d call that a win-win!
This little workout may seem pretty easy, but when done during every single commercial break this bad boy gives a good burn! Try it out during your next TV binge and let me know what you think! Full workout below!
So here?s tonight?s Coach Potato Workout…
During EACH commercial break, perform as many rounds as possible of:
10 sofa squats (perfect move to get you from the couch)
10 sofa/chair dips
10 sofa crunches or swing ups on the floor
*NOTE: Sofa crunches are performed by sitting on the edge of your couch, holding on to the seat of your sofa, extending your legs, then crunching them to your chest.
There are approximately 36 minutes of commercial breaks during a 2 hour show. Plenty of time to get your sweat on ;). Count your rounds over each commercial break and report back!
Xoxo,
Heidi

That is a great idea!! There are those nights that I just don?t want to work out, or don?t really have the time( I guess I don?t make the time ??).

Hi. I have subscribed to your free news letter but never received it. Can you please help me to get it? Thanks.
It’s actually not available yet – please be patient with us. 🙂
So sad that last night was the season finale….Your show totally motivated me to be a better ME! Can’t wait till next season!
Most of the time I can’t watch the show when it airs, so I have to catch up on it later in the week. I ride the exercise bike through one hour of the show! I love seeing the transformations people have as I am going through my own. I recently lost about 25 pounds, which was the last of the baby weight I needed to take off! Thanks Heidi for your inspiration to others and to me!
Love pair of you. Been begging help, as a group, those us can’t lose those 35 or so pounds. I’m hurt from previous broken bones. Can’t run. Need learn goid exercises for me + nutrition always need learn.
Others will come aboard, probably huge overflow! Help?
Can’t seem get done on own, trying!
Hi Jennifer: Check out Chris and Heidi’s carb cycling program in their book, “Choose More, Lose More for Life.” The book contains their complete nutrition and exercise program, and it’s the same one they use on the show. It can work no matter how many pounds you want to lose! It will teach you everything you need to know and do to achieve your own transformation! Learn about the nutrition basics here: https://heidipowell.net/2713/carb-cycling-101/. Be sure and discuss it with your healthcare team first. You can do this!
I have only one leg so it’s nice to hear of any exercises I can do from my couch…
