The best way to work out is by doing a routine that's fun and entertaining, which is where fun TV show workouts come in handy! These workout routines can be a huge motivator if you commit to following the guidelines completely! It's also a great way to multi-task catching up on your favorite show. So instead of sitting on the couch the next time you're watching your reruns or new episodes of your favorite TV shows, try these fun TV show workout routines instead! ## 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 show is one of those addicting shows that takes us all back to high school. Plus, watching the girls in their awesome outfits may be an extra boost for you to exercise! So whether you're 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! **Theme song:** Do high knees until it's over **When someone gets a text from A:** 20 sit-ups **When someone says Ally's murder:** 10 jumping jacks **When Garret is mentioned:** 5 burpees **When anyone uses their cellphone:** 5 squats **When Hanna shops:** Do a plank until she's done shopping **When someone gets kissed:** 10 lunges per leg **When someone cries:** 10 squats **When someone tells a lie:** 10 reverse crunches **Commercial break:** Jog in place during first three commercials ## 2. New Girl New Girl is a great show to have a workout routine for because the same types of things happen in almost every episode.

The Walking Dead Don't worry, I didn't forget about all of you Walking Dead fans out there! I'm actually surprised so many girls love the show but I find it awesome that there are! I tried to keep the numbers low as there is usually a ton of these that happen over the course of an episode. Just keep track of how many it adds up to and do them at your own pace. Just pretend you're practicing to survive a real zombie Apocalypse! **Theme song:** Plank until it's over **Every time you see a walker:** 5 squats **Every time someone kills a walker:** 5 crunches **Every time someone dies:** 30 jumping jacks **Every time someone screams:** 10 lunges per leg **Every time someone cries:**10 reverse crunches **Every time some draws a weapon:** 5 push ups **Someone refers to the living:** 5 burpees **Every time Rick talks on the walkie talkie:** 20 bicycles **Commercial break:** Jog in place during first three commercials ## 4.

Doctor Who Lately I feel like people have become addicted to this British science fiction TV show! If you haven't gotten into the show yet, they have a few seasons on Netflix for you to start watching.

Glee Glee is a great workout TV show because it includes music that will pump you up to dance around!
