The biggest Loser...

So back when I had roommates, they totally got me watching The Biggest Loser. I try and tell myself that it motivates me to get moving but in actuality I sit for an hour and stare at the TV hoping that TV watching is approved as exercise ( I would be SUPER fit). Well, this week Bob, one of the trainers (Jillian is the other one) who is SUPER tough, made a recommendation to the TV audience. He said that when you are watching at home, you too can partake in the show. He suggested doing jumping jacks during the commercials and if you do this, you will burn 300 calories. AWESOME. I can totally do that.

So, I got home from work today and it was raining so I figured, better to get a little exercise than none so I figured I would watch a TV show I had on TiVo and do jumping jacks during the commercials. I am just going to be honest about this...its not that easy. Commercials are LONG! I managed to do jumping jacks and floor stuff (crunches, push ups etc.) throughout the commercials but I have a question, when did jumping jacks get so hard?

So my new goal, since I am taping WAY too many shows I must do a show a night. We'll see how long it lasts but if Bob recommends it, I may as well give it a try. Maybe I will end up with a body like Jillian...I wish!
