So I was thinking…I hear a lot of excuses about how busy people are and how they have zero time to include a workout in. Well,The Lazy TV Workout for Improved Fitness Articles here's me thinking outside the box.  How about during your down time, after work, or when you watch your morning news, incorporate fitness while watching TV? Umm yea, we can be lazy and fit at the same time….hmmmm…now that's a twist to your Fit Fem Flash Series!

If you are not necessarily the active type of person who would set apart a certain amount of time just to do a set of exercises or a fitness program, perhaps The Lazy TV fitness plan is perfect for you. This article will basically show you how to maximize a certain amount of exercise time while you are watching TV. If you thought that you were too lazy and it was hopeless for you to lose weight, The Lazy TV fitness plan is the answer to that dilemma.

The first tip of this fitness program or plan is to wear your workout clothes when you are about to go to sleep…that's if you want to include fitness before you go to work or before you start your day. This sounds very weird, but you will not regret this. Once you wake up in the morning, just jump off your bed, and put on your sneaks. In this way, you are saving all the time that could have been spent on changing in the early mornings. Gotta love efficiency…I guess I get it from my days in working in the Production Operations world from my old job.

Now, the next thing to do when you do the The Lazy TV workout is to start making use of all those commercials or advertisements as opportunities to quickly do a very fast work out. You could probably do a quick run around the house, once a commercial or advertisement has started. Immediately come back to the TV couch after about a minute or two. It is suggested to do this every time a commercial appears to get the optimum benefits of this fitness program. Before you know it, you'll realize that you've been breaking so much sweat by doing this.

Another tip to maximize the benefits of The Lazy TV workout is to purchase a pedometer. This will allow you to keep track of your progress every time you commit to a certain exercise during the commercial breaks. By doing this, you will be able to know if you have to step up your exercises or not.

A final tip for this fitness program for certain lazy people is to make sure that you choose exercises, which are known to burn a lot of fat and improve your fitness. In this case, it is recommended that you take a jog around the block, lift weights or do some jumping jacks. Moreover, it is best that you start doing this early in the mornings. Sometimes it is also helpful to have a friend join you as a means of motivation.

Now, you can get as creative as you want. Hehre's my Fit Fem version of the Lazy TV workout! Each move is done for 60 seconds during commercials of your favorite show. 5 exercises times 60 seconds = 5 minutes!! SWEET!!
