Couch Potato Crunch Time: Melissa Bender Fitness Workout
Hi Everyone,
I am an avid reader, but I also hate to stay still. Movement helps me to focus. While I read I find myself constantly moving, and doing impromptu exercise moves. Why shouldn't I relax, and still be fit? With that inspiration I decided to create a couch workout that can be done on commercial breaks, or when you are just loafing around at home.
So here it is. :)
Enjoy!
Melissa
Beginner: 10 reps
Intermediate: 15 reps
Advanced: 20 reps
You can do this as a commercial interval workout, doing 1 exercise as many times as you can during each commercial if you are watching television.
