Commerical exercises

When you're watching TV, don't you just prefer to skip those commercials. Advertisers selling you things and enticing your thoughts. Well here's a thought (that I'm sure is not new), GET UP DURING COMMERCIALS right where you stand, and for the duration of all the commercials (until your program resides), do some simple squats. That's right, you and those watching with you can make it a ritual to stand up and do some simple squats or other movements during those commercials. And if you tired doing squats then stretch. A friend told me 'there's youth in flexibility'. Bend and twist slowly and within your comfort zone but do any else other than sit there.

Here's the benefit, your moving the blood around, muscles are engaged in activity, heart rate is increased to a metabolic state (means your burning calories), and most of all, the couch potato adage is becoming more obsolete. The more you move, the more your body responds
