I've been in hibernation longer than any bear. Don't watch a lot of TV but, this sounds like fun so I'll try it. - 10/5/2012   8:05:09 AM

sorry, between now & 11/4, no way can I do 10 burpees per politic ad - 9/29/2012   12:19:55 PM

Love the blog. What a great way to get through the mindless commercials.
And there are so many commercials, it will be a great quick workout. - 9/28/2012   11:10:52 AM

My daughter and I had a great time doing these last night. Lots of giggles.. .... Switched exercises each time the commercial changed instead of counting them though, but had so much fun. Thanks!!!! - 9/26/2012   6:55:43 PM

What a great idea/game. I've been meaning to do some exercising when I watch TV anyways, but you know how it is when you just don't have a start/plan, now I have one. Thanks so much! - 9/23/2012   8:59:56 PM

FUN! - 9/23/2012   1:29:06 PM

Love this, but I barely watch an hour of TV a week. When The Biggest Loser comes back on, I'll try this! - 9/23/2012   10:27:15 AM

With it being presidential election season I think I'll be doing a lot of burpees with all the political ads LOL. - 9/23/2012   9:08:12 AM

What happens if you are watching PBS? Which I do a lot. - 9/22/2012   3:13:44 PM

I live in a battleground state so I don't think my body could take all the burpees I'd have to do. LOL Seriously though, I did put my weights right in the front of the TV directly in my line of site, so strength training is definitely a possibility. All good suggestions though. Thanks. - 9/22/2012   7:24:10 AM

I never watch commercial TV. So much for the Nelson's. I never fit their views of Americans. - 9/22/2012   1:31:00 AM

Love the idea! But 75% of these i physically can not do due to my weight(close to 400 pounds) and my poor knees would not let me do some of these and I can not get on the floor and back up again so I will just have to creat my own exercises for each item that i can do. - 9/21/2012   11:36:42 PM

I'm showing my age here, but in my day, burpees were called squat/thrusts. - 9/21/2012   10:28:24 PM

At least most of these are not high impact. If you live in an apartment an have downstairs neighbors, high impact exercise is often going to result in noise complaints! - 9/21/2012   7:16:21 PM

Hahaha, no I won't do these - but that's because I do not watch TV at all, and the rare times I see bits of it are at the gym anyway and my eyes move on the instant a commercial comes on. - 9/21/2012   12:07:10 PM

I'm going to have to find out what a burpee is. We'll be doing a lot of them the next two months.

@DEBIGENE, there's a great free program called CutePDF. If you have that downloaded and installed, then you can print like normal, but choose CutePDF as your printer and save the printout as a PDF file. It's pretty easy to use. I would go to CNET (download.com) to find it, because you won't get any viruses or additional malware from them. - 9/21/2012   11:25:21 AM

I only watch cooking shows, but I will definitely do this. Better for me would be after every chapter I read (I read every night) I should do some sort of quick five minute thing. I'll start this tonight! - 9/21/2012   11:24:31 AM

Sorry....we don't have television. - 9/21/2012   10:45:35 AM

@DEBIGENE: Right click and select copy image. Then paste and print. Or click where it says "click here" to download and print. - 9/21/2012   10:29:11 AM

I love this and want to copy and paste it so I can print it out and SP won't let me do it !!!! I don't FB, TWEET, PINTEREST or any of those other things. SP is my social network of choice and I'm sure I am not alone with this request. Perhaps SP should take a survey of it's members to see what percentage of the members here would like options for information available. Thanks for letting me voive this opinion here. - 9/21/2012   9:45:59 AM

Love it! I'm going to do these plus I might pull out my mini-trampoline and incorporate that in also!! - 9/21/2012   9:37:52 AM

I love this idea. I will do this workout this evening. - 9/21/2012   8:55:16 AM

VERY clever idea! Even if the exercises don't suit a particular person, the concept is adaptable. I'm going to use my creativity and come up with a list of my own--and include something particularly distracting for INSURANCE commercials! - 9/21/2012   8:54:37 AM

These are great ideas but way beyond my current physical abilities. Something to work towards though. Thank you for sharing. - 9/21/2012   8:47:52 AM

thanks. - 9/21/2012   8:43:40 AM

Although I'm not a big TV watcher, when I do sit down, there are an awful lot of political ads with the election coming up. Looks like lots of burpees! - 9/21/2012   8:39:11 AM

What is a burpee? Sounds like a seed of an idea.. - 9/21/2012   8:30:57 AM

This is a really cool idea! Lets see if we could get everyone watching to do it, now that would be something to tape! :) - 9/21/2012   7:47:19 AM

This is a great idea...your Pinterest button didn't work, though! - 9/21/2012   7:18:02 AM

LOVE this.. I printed it off and it's going where I can see it every time I watch a tv program :)
I usually put the clothes in the dryer, do some dishes or vacuum the floor during commercial breaks..

:) - 9/21/2012   6:06:07 AM

What a clever idea. I usually run down stairs and put things away during add breaks - or Spark, like now! - 9/21/2012   5:47:50 AM

I go beyond that - my normal morning workouts are done with the TV on, so I'm not only working through commercials, but through the actual shows themselves! - 9/21/2012   4:25:22 AM

What a cute idea! I've been doing exercise on the commercials (and a bunch of other things) for a long time just because I get so bored. Commercials are annoying! But this sounds like something new I could try and would take things up a notch... - 9/21/2012   12:05:19 AM

CUTE IDEA !
I like the exercise-ad variety
We CAN Do It
BLESSINGS ! - 9/20/2012   11:49:16 PM

Awesome! Perfect now that I no longer have DVR :) - 9/20/2012   11:09:28 PM

Thanks for the great ideas! I could utilize those commercials to help sneak in calorie busting exercises - 9/20/2012   10:55:39 PM

I would never do any exercise. Hubby refuses to watch commercials. Flips through the channels during commercials. - 9/20/2012   10:31:39 PM

This is great. I've always thought about doing something during commercials and never thought about what to do. Did a few of these tonight. Thanks! - 9/20/2012   10:14:54 PM

Excellent idea! - 9/20/2012   9:48:15 PM

I haven't watched TV in over 3 yrs. I watch what I want on YouTube or NetFlex. - 9/20/2012   9:45:11 PM

Better if you see the videos of SPP in they TV. - 9/20/2012   9:13:18 PM

I would except someone loves fast forwarding with the PVR. - 9/20/2012   8:26:26 PM

I actually really love this idea. Perfect for when im a watching baseball or football. lol lots of breaks during those. - 9/20/2012   7:31:40 PM

I don't do these but I'm in the habit of exercising when commercials come on and I thought I was doing something no one else does!! - 9/20/2012   7:05:57 PM

Awesome ideas...perfect for removing senditary ways. Thanks! - 9/20/2012   6:51:07 PM
