Many Americans complain that they have no time for activity, yet a recent poll published noted that in the past 2 years Americans have spent 2 hours more on the Internet!! Wow, think of all the calories you could burn in 2 hours. Everyone is busy, but most people find some time for things that are sedentary-for example the TV. Watching TV a few minutes everyday even if its just for the news can help you reach your physical activity goals.
How? During the show or newscast do a little strength training! Do a few crunches, sit ups, bicep curls, lunges, side bends, etc...the list goes on with available exercises to incorporate in when watching the tube. Need more cardio? Plop that stationary bike or treadmill in front of the TV and walk while watching-this will also keep your hands busy and out of the potato chip bag. See, getting more physical activity was easier than you thought!
