We all love a good Sunday filled with binge watching our favorite shows. And with some stellar TV shows to stream right now on Netflix and Hulu, hours in front of the screen can just fly by. Which means sometimes, whether we want it to or not, fitting in a tough love workout can take a back seat to watching the next episode… and the next… and the next… But fear not, because our friends at Reebok pulled together some of their top notch trainers and created three killer workouts to three of our all-time favorite shows. Time to start these exercise games, fitness babes.
Honestly, does life get much better than a day full of Friends? Now that our favorite six besties are available 24/7 on Netflix, we might as well torch a few calories while we’re wishing we were sipping coffee at Central Perk. Scroll on for easy workouts you can do while watching.
1. Every mention or appearance of Janice: Complete five bench walks.
2. Every shot of “Pat the Dog” (Joey’s white ceramic dog): Complete five plank punches per arm.
3. For any generic, obvious shot of New York City: Complete five half burpees with plank jacks.
4. Every time Joey says, “How you doin’?”: Complete five inchworms with push ups.
