Gossip Girl & Friends TV Workouts (with FREE Printables)

Binge Watch & Break A Sweat - Gossip Girl & Friends TV Workouts (with FREE Printables)

So here is the first post in my Binge Watch & Break A Sweat series, yay! Nothing makes me feel lazier than partaking in a Netflix binge. After watching the third episode of Gossip Girl in a row one day, I decided to create a TV workout for the show with a piece of notebook paper and a marker. My roommate and I tested it and it kicked our asses. I then realized–what if we did this for every show we watched? It’s the perfect way to workout without having to go to the gym or sacrifice time spent watching your favorite shows.

Now you can binge watch your favorite shows and get a kick ass workout in! No more feeling guilty about lying in bed watching your shows all day. Nope–now you’re going to partake in a TV workout challenge and form a hyper-awareness to just how often certain things occur in your favorite shows. Like, have you noticed how many times people drink during the average Gossip Girl episode? Oh, you will notice during the workout and you will curse it.

So, ladies and gents, here are some Paige (and her roommate) tested and approved free printable TV workouts based on your favorite shows. Get ready to binge watch and break a sweat!
