Strength train instead of vegging
Challenge Yourself for: 30 days
Feeling antsy while you’re watching TV? If a show doesn’t capture your full attention, use that extra energy to do some strength training. Get out your handheld weights for some bicep curls, or try sit-ups, squats, or leg-lifts. Challenge yourself to at least five or ten minutes of strength training to make any show more stimulating. Always consult a physician before starting any exercise routine.
(When logging progress for this challenge, only log as many days as you participated in the activity within the 30-day timeframe.)

please, I have been doing this for months, I’d like to wake up now.
this will be a great way to tone my arms up and have the motvation to actually do it
I don’t like my batwings, so will start using my hand weights again.
I plan on working on the loose skin under my arms with a resistance exerciser.
I do leg lifts while watching tv and sometimes while checking my email.
I use dubmbells (free weights) now because I learned that they are better from my trainer.
I will start using my hand weights to firm up my arms.
Handheld weights would definitely help firm up my “flabby” upper arms
I’m going to challenge myself to try this. I have several pounds that I would like to lose and this would definitely help.
