But what if you could enjoy your TV time and sneak in a workout at the same time? It\u2019s easier than you think, and you don\u2019t have to leave the couch to get moving. Here\u2019s how you can make fitness a part of your Netflix marathon.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"490\"><strong data-start=\"449\" data-end=\"490\">Incorporate Movement During Show Time<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"492\" data-end=\"885\">Instead of sitting still, try incorporating small, simple exercises during your Netflix binge. For example, during each episode or every few scenes, take a quick break for squats, lunges, or even a few push-ups. Every time the characters go through a dramatic moment, you go through a fitness moment. These micro-workouts can help you stay active while you relax and enjoy your favorite shows.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"923\"><strong data-start=\"887\" data-end=\"923\">Create a Netflix Workout Routine<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"925\" data-end=\"1341\">You can get creative and design a workout routine around your favorite Netflix shows. For instance, every time a character says a catchphrase, take a sip of water and do a quick set of squats. Every time a dramatic moment occurs, jump into a plank position. Setting fitness goals during your favorite shows will help you stick to your routine while giving you something to look forward to during those slow episodes.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1386\"><strong data-start=\"1343\" data-end=\"1386\">Workouts that Don\u2019t Interrupt Your Show<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1652\">You don\u2019t have to pause your show to get in some exercise. While watching Netflix, try exercises that won\u2019t distract you from the screen, like seated leg lifts or chair squats. These moves are easy to do and won\u2019t require you to take your eyes off the TV for long.<\/p>\n<h3 data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1691\"><strong data-start=\"1654\" data-end=\"1691\">From Couch Potato to Squat Potato<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p data-start=\"1693\" data-end=\"2078\" data-is-last-node=\"\">It\u2019s easy to let those couch potato habits take over, but with a bit of creativity, you can combine your love of Netflix and staying active. With these minor adjustments, you\u2019ll work your way from couch potato to squat potato, all while keeping your fitness journey fun and engaging. So, the next time you sit down to watch your favorite show, make it a fitness session, too!<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"2050\" data-end=\"2328\" data-is-last-node=\"\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/woman-in-black-sports-bra-and-black-panty-doing-yoga-on-blue-bed-6703044\/\">Photo by Yan Krukau<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Let\u2019s be honest: we\u2019ve all had those days when we become a couch potato, binge-watching our favorite Netflix shows without a second thought.
