Do u exercise while watching TV at night?

Does anybody really do this? I'm always tempted to order the exercise gadget that Marie Osmind sells...but I'm afraid it'd just collect dust (LOL). I am prepared to be impressed by any of u who really does exercise sitting in a chair watching TV.....anybody really do this?

I do now, since I bought that Marie Osmond bar. To be honest, I had good intentions when I bought it (I always do) but I know myself and I thought it would be another unused dust catcher. However, after watching the video and watching Marie do her presentations; and because I can do so many of the exersizes seated; I really do exersize while I am watching tv. I pull over a dining room chair and get my workouts in.

My answer to your question? That would depend on "what" your criteria is for exercise.

By my criteria the answer would be an emphatic, NO. My exercises/exercising are based on specificity.

I do sometimes. Mainly I will walk in place or do some arm exercises with small weights. I have a treadmill in my craft room and have had a TV in that room but it was an old one that broke and I haven't replaced it yet.

Is the OP kidding? I need every brain cell working on overload on some of these TV shows these days.

Half of the time I STILL can't figure out what is being said or the meaning of what is being said.

I often come here to the TV and Movies section and these wonderful people explain the show to me.

So, to answer your question, 'No! I don't exercise while watching TV'.

But I'm just one person, I'm sure there are many who do! Ha!

No, not me !!

I'm a morning person and that's when I have the most energy. By evening, I've put in a full day and just want to relax. I go to bed and watch a few shows before falling asleep.

Not at night - Usually in the afternoon, while I'm using my elliptical, I have the tv on. Passes the time.

She, and she's a bit possessive about "her" weights. To answer your original question, if I bought one I would probably keep it by the door to bop a burglar over the head.

For real exercise I go to the gym, walk outside, or do pilates on my reformer.

I usually have it on to stave off bordom while I log at least 20 miles per week on my treadmill.

I will lift weights watching a show in the evening. I lift for 1 hour, so it does help to have something to watch to keep me motivated.

Lift for an hour? Best be careful if you are lifting and focusing on something else at the same time. Cardio can be safely done while watching tv, but lifting any kind of weights? Be extra careful will ya?
