How I Met Your Mother Season Premiere

Here is a workout for the season premiere of How I Met Your Mother.

Also don't forget Bones is On:

And Dancing with the Stars Premiere.

Bones is BACK!

For the next couple of weeks, I will be posting Premieres as the Fall Season kicks off. Tonight Bones is Back!! Bones is trying to prove she's innocent but has been on the run for 3 months. Here is the workout!

Castle Exercise Game

Here is an exercise game for Castle.  I watch this show very sporadically, and cannot keep up with the overall story lines.  But, I do enjoy the single episode arcs.

RNC Convension

It is political season and I've had almost too much on a local level battling with my daughter's school district for the past two months.  Not that that appears over, it is time for National Politics.  There will be a workout next week for the Democrats too, but, here's one for tonight and the rest of the Republican convention. 

Project Runway is Back!!!

And the best part is that this time there is Tim Gunn.  The All-Stars was alright, but it isn't Project Runway without Tim Gunn!!  So, here is a workout while you watch!

So You Think You Can Dance?!

There was a request for a SYTYCD Workout, and here it is.  I love this show.  Who are your favorite contestants?

Fox on Monday

Back to Back Gordon Ramsay Shows make my summer hot.  Here is a workout for one or both shows.  Basically, do a workout depending on what Gordon Ramsay Says!   ENJOY!

NBA Finals

Sorry I've been gone for so long.  I plan to pick up again, now that summer T.V. is starting.  But for this week, the most important thing starting is the NBA Finals.  It is kind of fun that the Miami Heat are in it, because they are so polarizing.  I'm torn because my dear friend hates the Heat, but I feel kind of bad for LeBron James.  Also, I'm from the Pacific Northwest and the Thunder used to be the Supersonics, and I just don't know if that makes me love them or hate them...

So, here are some workouts.  There is one for Heat fans, one for Thunder Fans, and the 2 other people in America like me that don't really have a favorite.  As my dad says every baseball season, "I just want the series to go to 7 games so I get to watch more."  Except, in this case, watch more and exercise more.  BONUS!

NBA Playoffs

So, I haven't been very active on here recently for two main reasons.  The first being that I've been catching up on Mad Men from the beginning and the second is that I've gotten sucked into the NBA Playoffs.  Plus, there are a lot of reruns on right now.  And we're remodeling our kitchen...That's four reasons.  I should also add that there is a challenge going on at my Crossfit and I'm exhausted.  But, I figured I'd pull together a workout for Basketball Games.  This would be tough to do the whole time, but would be quite the workout.  Maybe do the first and fourth quarter?  Or some other split if you are tired.  Good Luck!  Have fun. And most of all, know your limits!!

Syndication Week

I feel like I used to watch a lot more shows in syndication, but kind of fell flat this week.  Any ideas for shows you would have like to have seen?  Suggestions are always appreciated. 

Syndication Week: Sex and the City

Another one of my FAVORITE shows all time.  I just loved it.  As a show.  As a movie, that's another story...

Here is a workout for Sex and the City.  A Saturday Marathon, would make a really crazy workout day!!!

Stuck in Syndication Week

The focus for this week's shows is shows that are stuck in syndication.  My favorits show in syndication is Friends.  The other day I was flipping through the channels, and I got stuck on the last episode of Friends, because you can't turn off the series finale.  Then, it said there was another episode coming up and I wondered what they would show after the last episode, then I stayed and watched the first ever episode, because who can resist the pilot?  I'm a sucker for Friends.  ENJOY!

Guilty Pleasures

I missed another day...But to make up for it, I will be watching two guilty pleasures tonight.  Anything on E! is a guilty pleasure and so is my obsession for Will And Kate, so the Will and Kate special on E! tonight is a double guilty pleasure!  Here is the Workout.

 

Also, I think I may be the only one who watches My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding, but I really appreciate TLC leaving it on the rotation just for me! ;-)  In case anyone else watches, here is the workout!

 Also, don't forget the Shark Tank Workout and the Grimm Workout.

Guilty Pleasures: Toddlers and Tiaras

Sorry I missed yesterday.  My kids are sick and we had date night planned, and this got forgotten.  On the upside, Toddlers and Tiaras is on tonight and I hate to admit how much I love and watch this show.  I can't watch in front of my daughters because I know my oldest would immediately ask if she could do pageants!  Also, my husband mocks me.  But, I can't help it.  I. MUST. WATCH.  Which is sort of the definition of "guilty pleasure."  At least if I'm working out, I don't have to feel so bad about it.  RIGHT?!

 

Guilty Pleasure: The Secret Life of the American Teenager

My true Guilty Pleasure of Monday Night is Gossip Girl, but I used to love The Secret Life of the American Teenager.  So, here is a Guilty Pleasure Workout for The Secret Life of the American Teenager.

Guilty Pleasures Week!

Today is my first themed week, and it is guilty pleasures week.  Usually these are shows that I watch just because I'm bored, but then totally get hooked on them.  The first was probably the Hills, and now it is pretty much all about the Kardashians.  Here is a workout for tonight's episode of Khloe and Lemar!

Monday Means House!

I stopped watching House a couple years ago, but the commercials last week sucked me back in.  It was pretty much a disappointment on the relationship front (Wilson's Son is just an elaborate House prank...grr...) but the Medical part and the new characters caught my eye.  So, House it is!  Here is a workout for when you watch House.

Remember we also have other Monday Night shows: How I Met Your Mother, 2 Broke Girls, 2.5 Men, Bones, Gossip Girl, and Dancing with the Stars!

Sunday Night: Exercise Games

This Sunday I am adding two new Exercise Games.  There is one for Mad Men and one (by request) for Harry's Law.  I am catching up on both shows in my free time, but it is kind of a lot to take on!  But, I do like both shows, so it has been fun.  Also, don't forget we have a workout for The Good Wife here.

ENJOY!!

Birthday Burpees

Today is my Birthday so I'll be prying myself away from one of my favorite nights of T.V. to hang out with real people.  I'm most bummed about missing Shark Tank tonight, since it is finally a new episode.  Also, I Grimm.  They both have workouts on the blog though.

Even though I won't be doing any exercise games, I will be doing Birthday Burpees this afternoon.  28 Burpees to welcome my 28th year of life!!

Hope you all have some fun too.

Thursday Night on ABC

Tonight I'll be pretty much hanging out on ABC.  Watching Missing, Grey's Anatomy, and Scandal.  I have a workout for Grey's which I'll be doing, but I'm also looking for ideas for workouts while watching Missing and Scandal.

Here is the Grey's Anatomy Workout.

Also, I did a lot of abs today at Crossfit, so I'll be subbing 5 Burpees for the 10 sit-ups...it seems like a fair exchange!  Good luck all!!

Exercise Games: Criminal Minds

Tonight is Wednesday, and it is a late night for me because I just can't help staying up late for Criminal Minds.  I love, love, love Criminal Minds and not just because I grew up watching the Young and the Restless and can't get enough Shemar Moore!  Not to mention, I loved Darma and Greg...Basically, I love the cast.  Love the show.  Have been watching it from the beginning, and now, I can workout while I watch!  Here is the workout!

Biggest Loser Workout: Ah Man, this is so late!

I said I'd post this today, but life got in the way.  It was a beautiful day, the first in awhile, and my daughters got invited to a friends house.  And then we had to go pick up preschool registration papers for my oldest, and I swear she was barely walking just yesterday, she's grown so fast.  So, this workout isn't all that useful this week, unless you DVR, but it is a general workout, so it will be useful at some point.

Clearly this is one of those workouts that I should have posted awhile ago, it totally makes sense that you would workout during the Biggest Loser. However, I have a Biggest Loser confession: I can't help but snack while watching Biggest Loser.  I don't know why, but I just can't help myself.  I should be working out, but I'm usually just stuffing my face!  It is kind of weird...I'm kind of weird.

Busy, Busy Mondays

There are a lot of shows on on Mondays.  My favorites are Bones and How I Met Your Mother, which are on at the same time...grr....  We have workouts for Gossip Girl (here), Dancing with the stars (here) How I Met Your Mother (here) and Two Broke Girls (here).

Here are two more workouts for tonight.  The first is a general Bones episode.  The second is for Two And A Half Men.  ENJOY!

Exercise Games: Grimm

GRIMM IS BACK!  It is a show close to my heart because it is shot locally, and often references local places.  Also, Nick is kind of adorable!  Here is the workout I'll be doing while I watch.

Exercise Games: Grey's Anatomy

Grey's is one of my favorite shows and I cannot wait for it tonight!  Here is a general workout for Grey's Anatomy.

Exercise Games: Dancing with the Stars

Here is a workout for this season of Dancing with the Stars.  It looks pretty hot tonight, so it will probably be my flip show!

Exercise Games: Gossip Girls

I had never watched Gossip Girls before but it seemed popular so I checked it out.  I'm kind of lost, but kind of hooked at the same time!  So, here is a workout from what I've read and watched so far.  Hopefully, I'll get more into it, and have a better idea of what the workout should be. Or, you can leave suggestions in the comments section.

Bones is Back!

 To celebrate the return of Bones this is an episode specific workout.  I love Bones and am so excited that it is back and that the baby is coming.

I will put together a more general workout for next week.

Exercise Games: Desperate Housewives

The Last 3 Episodes of Desperate Housewives are coming, and I figure a lot of casual or former watchers will be watching these last few episodes.  Here are some exercises to go with it!

Exercise Game: TOUCH

Because Touch is all about numbers and how they relate, I like the idea of having a specific number after watching Touch.  So, do the workouts throughout the commercial breaks, and report back with your numbers.  This one was killer last week, so remember, only do what you can and take breaks when you need to.

Follow This Blog!

Once I hit 50 followers, I will be having a giveaway to celebrate!  Plus, if you are one of the original followers, you'll be first to know what the giveaway is!!

Exercise Games: Big Bang Theory

 Here is a general workout for the Big Bang Theory.  I wanted to post it last week, but there wasn't a new episode.  Hope you enjoy.

The Voice: Last Night of Battles

 Tonight is the last night of battles, and then the real competition starts.  Here is a workout for tonight's episode of The Voice!

Two Broke Girls

Two Broke Girls is on a break, but if you are going to be watching the rerun after HIMYM, here is an additional workout.

Soap Operas

I have a deep love of soap operas from when I was a kid, but naptime and kids really don't allow me to get into them any more. But here is a fun general soap workout for those of you lucky enough to follow them...

How I Met Your Mother

Here is a general workout for How I Met Your Mother. Let's see how it goes. If there are any suggestions to make it better, just leave a comment. Thanks.

WHAT DO YOU WATCH?!?!

And what are your favorite body weight exercises?!

Leave a comment, and I'll make a special exercise game for the first 10 responses!

Exercise Game: The Good Wife

This is a more general workout for the Good Wife, hope you enjoy. If you have any suggestions, leave a comment for me. Thanks!

Dr. Phil Exercise Game

As much as I love to do Prime-Time shows, the most convenient time for me to workout is actually during daytime television (especially if the kids take a nap). So, I will be adding a series of daytime television shows, and I am looking for suggestions. So, if you have one, please leave a comment for me. But Dr. Phil seemed like a good first choice.

Exercise Game: Shark Tank

Shark Tank is one of my favorite shows on television. I'm not very business minded, so I find it all very fascinating. I love the conflict, the numbers, the "Why didn't I think of that?" ideas...

Here is a general workout for Shark Tank.

As always, only do what you can do. If you need a break, take one. If Mark Cuban rants about patents during every segment, and a few times in between, decrease the number of Burpees. This should be fun and just get you moving a bit.

Touch Numbers

Well, it is interesting that touch was all about numbers, since this workout was too. My total number was 494, and the overall workout felt good. Although the commercials seemed super LONG! Did anyone else keep track of their numbers?

Series Premier of Touch!

The series premier of Touch is starting out tonight, and I have high hopes that it won't suck. I loved 24 at the beginning and feel like this show could have the same impact. But, since I don't really know what to expect, it was difficult to make a workout, so we're going to do our first commercial break workout!

Here is is!

It's time for...American Idol!

Here is the American Idol workout. The bonus workout for tonight is that if a judge gets booed you need to do a wall squat for an entire commercial at the next commercial break.

Remember, to only do as much as your body can handle and take breaks if you need to!

NCIS

NCIS is a show that I usually just catch if it is on, but don't usually plan to watch. I'm hoping to catch tonight's episode, but since I haven't seen it in awhile, I set up a generic exercise to do.

Tuck Jumps can be hard and you can substitute with 10 butt-kickers. Always remember to only do what your body can handle and to take breaks if you need them. Good luck!

Tuesday Is Jeopardy Day

I don't have anything specific I watch on Tuesdays, so if there are any suggestions let me know. However,we love Jeopardy in our house, and it can be a fun Exercise Game too.

I recommend watching Jeopardy with a friend and getting your workout. Lay on your stomach next to each other and see who gets the correct answer first. If you get the right answer, the other person does 4 push-ups. If no one gets the answer correct, then you both do two. See how you feel and try to double the push-ups in double jeopardy. Then you both write down an answer in final jeopardy. If you are correct, then your workout is over. If not, 1 minute of Burpees!
