Sneaky Fitness

I like to watch TV. I have tried to shave down my list of shows that I can't miss...but it's not happening. I did successfully cut out CSI: Miami a few months ago after one of most LAME episodes ever, and I almost fell back into it this weekend. Thankfully the episode I almost watched was the SAME lame one that made me stop. As soon as I realized it I just pushed a button on the remote to get me as far from that show as I could get. And guess what I found: the Home Shopping Network with a segment on the Urban Rebounder. I have to admit it...I totally want one now. Not to replace my normal workout DVDs, but I could use the rebounder WHILE watching my tv shows to get in some sneaky exercise. Yes, I've heard people talk about doing jumping jacks or running in place during commercial breaks or doing different exercises during each segment, but ugh. I do have a little stepper that I use sometimes (note to self: must use little stepper more often), but how much more fun would that be on a mini trampoline??? One guy was doing plyometric lunges and high knees on it instead of just wimpy little jumps. Good on my joints: check! Extra bounce in my steps: check! Laugh at me all you want, but I'm tempted...really tempted.

And I do have a tax refund on the way....hmmm..... :)
