1. Pretty Little Liars

First up on our list of TV show workouts is none other than Pretty Little Liars! Whether or not you are willing to admit it, this is one of those addicting shows that takes us all back to high school. Watching the characters in their awesome outfits may be an extra boost for you to exercise. So whether you are newly addicted to the show and trying to catch up, or just having a marathon on a rainy day, get off the couch and feel better about sitting in front of the TV!

New Girl is a great show to have a workout routine for because the same types of things happen in almost every episode. Schmidt has a hilarious one-liner, Jessica does something awkward, and Nick and Jess keep having weird moments together. Plus, being forced to watch Cece the model may just be the motivation you need to keep exercising! It is one of the top fun ways to burn calories at home. Either that or the motivation of wanting to grab a Schmidt look-alike someday.

These are not meant to be taken as serious workout routines. If you really want to lose weight, make sure to do a steady workout routine rather than sporadic exercises. However, if you were already planning on being on the couch watching your shows, you might as well throw in some exercises. It will always help you to burn some extra calories as well as not feel so bad for hanging out with your TV all day. Do you enjoy working out while watching TV?
