I've talked about how much I love television before. I don't get to watch it nearly as much as I may like it, but that's why I have a TiVo and lots of shows on DVD so I can watch them on my schedule, typically when I'm exercising. My daughter has developed a similar love for her television shows, only she doesn't hit the treadmill. So we have a deal, especially where her favorite shows like "Drake and Josh" are concerned.
Exercise on Cue
We play the television exercise game. For those needing a crash course, you choose a moment or moments that occur frequently in a favored series and this is when you do your exercise. For example, if you're on the treadmill, you kick up the speed for 1 minute every time Booth says "Bones" on Bones.
So in short, the rules are:
Show Suggestions
These are just for fun, as always and if all you did was chuckle, appreciate the calorie burn for laughter.

What a great Idea. I am going to adopt this even though my kids are really young... anything to get the dazed glazed look out of thier eyes as they watch tv.

It works too. My daughter jumps up and does 4 to 6 jumping jacks every time they say each other's name on that show. She's got other motions for other shows. The only time she asks to get out of it is if she's reading a book while the tv is on and then I tell her to turn the tv off.

"I run on desolate country roads, which is whole other issue and probably the reason why people don't think twice about throwing things at me and other runners, but as for why some people don't run on sidewalks in the city I would guess it's because dodging people is more cumbersome than running with or against traffic."
