The
holidays are a perfect time to snuggle up and watch classic Christmas
movies with the ones you love. This year, try spicing up your movie
watching by including some fitness exercises to keep your waistline
trimmed. Try these tips from Shana Schneider, fitness expert and
Founder of FITWEEK, a fitness company dedicated to helping women turn any week into a fitweek.
Once
Thanksgiving is over, the holiday movie marathons begin. There’s
everything from the old classics like It’s a Wonderful Life (Mr. Gower
has the first line, "I owe everything to George Bailey. Help him, dear
Father."), and Miracle on 34th Street (the original with Maureen
O'Hara), to the modern classics like Elf (and who doesn't like chewing
on cotton balls?), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (Dr. Seuss was a
genius), and Christmas Vacation (Jelly of the Month Club is the gift
that keeps on giving). These holiday classics are primed for good
drinking games, but since we’re all working on getting fit before the
end of year - let's face it, this was your resolution on January 1, 2013 - ditch the drinking for some FITWEEK Fitness Games and make that resolution a reality.
How the Grinch Stole Christmas: Jump every time someone says ‘Who’
Elf: Start and stop jumping jacks every time the word Elf is used
Home Alone: Get up or sit down every time someone gets hit or falls down
A Charlie Brown Christmas: Do 10 pushups using the arm of the couch every time Snoopy appears
Christmas Vacation: Do five side leg lefts on each side any time cousin Eddie speaks
White Christmas: Do side steps or just dance along every time there's a musical number
A Christmas Story: Do five push ups during
the following scenes: Pink bunny rabbit costume, the leg lamp from
France, the tongue stuck to the pole. AND, any time you hear "you'll
shoot your eye out!"
For
a fitness tip that applies to all Christmas movies ever, do 10 squats
every time someone appears on screen wearing a Santa hat!
