1. Pretty Little Liars

First up on our list of TV show workouts is none other than Pretty Little Liars!

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?
