At first you may not think of watching TV as something active, but there are ways to incorporate activity while watching TV. First off, get rid of the remote so that you have to get up and walk over to the TV to change the channel or turn up the volume. During commercial breaks or even during the programming you can incorporate the following activity:

• Knee raises in a chair, as if you were stepping
• Bicep curls with hand weights
• Leg extensions

Remember:
• No snacking
• Drink lots of water
