Have you ever found yourself lounging on the couch and watching a lot of TV at night?  Why not take advantage of the numerous commercial breaks that fill over 20% of your viewing time.  An easy way to break your habit of being a night time couch potato, is by fitting in short exercise routines during commercial breaks.  Push-ups, sit-ups, pull-ups,  jumping jacks, lunges and running in place are just a few easy exercises you can perform during this idle time.  Start out with a two night rotation of three exercises for each night.  Begin with a set number of repetitions for each exercise and increase by one repetition each workout.  Perform all three exercises back-to-back during each commercial break.  This may seem easy at first, but by the end of one month, your repetitions will drastically increase.  If you keep it up, you will firm up in no time.

Example Workout Routine:

Monday: 10 push-ups,  5 pull-ups, 20 sit-ups (all performed during each commercial break).

Tuesday: 10 lunges, 20 jumping jacks, 30 reps of running in place (all performed during each commercial break).

Wednesday: 11 push-ups,  6 pull-ups,  21 sit-ups (all performed during each commercial break).

Thursday: 11 lunges, 21 jumping jacks, 31 reps of running in place (all performed during each commercial break).

*Adjust repetitions according to your current physical condition*
