What do YOU do on Friday nights when catching up on The Real World? (Yes, Jonny and I still watch that show.) I plank it out, baby.
I feel like I have way too much to do than just sit there watching tv. Probably 99% of the time, I am multitasking when watching a show. The most common activities are: exercising, grading papers/homework/tests, writing a blog post, reading blogs, playing with Zoey, or eating. I seriously feel like I cannot just sit down on the couch and watch tv. I’m ok with it though because most of tv is trash anyway (at least the shows I watch).
Last night after dinner (Jonny grilled chicken breasts and I made a rainbow salad), we decided to catch up on The Real World from earlier this week. About 30 seconds into the show, I dropped to the floor, set the timer on my phone, and planked it out.
The High Plank
The Side Plank
The Low Plank
I held each plank for a minute, and then repeated the sequence again. The show still wasn’t over, so I did 50 air squats and 50 lunges (10 front and 10 back, alternating until I reached 50). Then I repeated that for a total of 50 squats and 50 lunges. And then it was plank time again.
Surprisingly, I did not plan this [mini] workout. I ran 2 miles this morning, and Jonny and I planned on having a nice, quiet evening at home since life has been pretty busy lately. (Good busy) And the awesome Lululemon tank I’m wearing? An early birthday gift courtesy of my parents. I’m in love.
After the show, I remembered my mom had gotten me fro yo the other night. For the first time in my life, I wasn’t in the mood. (Gasp!) Tonight, however, I did NOT turn it down.

Doesn’t it look like a colorful party in there? I’m typically more of a sprinkles-only topping kind of gal because I enjoy the many different flavors of fro-yo. But I did no complaining of my fro-yo gift and even gave Jonny a spoon to share. Now that’s love.
What do you do while watching tv? What kind of toppings person are you?
I am the exact same way, I never just watch tv. Never. Planking though, I should get into that!
Itz an “easy” way to make time go by. And by easy, I mean not really easy at all haha
If it’s a show I’m actually following the plot of, I like to fully concentrate on it. But if it’s something I just have on in the background like The Food Network or the Olympics, I usually blog or something at the same time. Lately I’ve been doing my physio exercises while watching tv!
Very nice!
you go girl! I never can just sit down and watch tv either I get bored haha.
Yes!! Just too much to do!!
I am impressed Linz! While I watch TV, I sit on my tush with my laptop on my lap.. sometimes I switch it up and lay down haha
Those toppings are ahhh-mazing! I usually go for oreos, butter fingers and a fruit and always tons of chocolate sprinkles!
Haha yes, I’m either moving or have my laptop, too! And my momma sure did good on the toppings!
I love that you do planks while watching TV!!! Perfect example of fifluential living right there! I am in love with that lulu tank! So cute! I haven’t seen it yet!
Unless it’s a show I absolutely love, I’ll usually read blogs/magazines/write posts while I watch tv – definitely a multitasker.
My froyo toppings of choice: reese’s peanut butter cups, marshmallows, banana slices, skor bits and lots of sprinkles (if that wasn’t immediately obvious, haha)
Yum! Haha sprinkles are amazing – awesome blog name!!
LOL, yes, I love planks (and frozen yogurt is my favorite dessert). Awesome pics with examples for my gym clients too. Thanks for sharing
I hardly ever watch TV but planking while watching is an excellent idea!!!
May as well strengthen that core!
WAY to go! I too am like that–I hardly ever watch TV, and if I do, I’m always busting out something else. I am a MAJOR multi-tasker. Hah.
LOVE the shirt. ANd your back muscles are looking miiiiggghhhttttyyyy fine.
P.s. I am the first to say it (hopefully) <—HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Well, thank you, my dear! And yes you were number 1!
I can tell you I am not exercising in front of the tv – ha! I love fruit, nuts and chocolate as toppings. Happy Sunday:)
Nothing wrong with that!
All stellar toppings, too!
i should be planking right now…. instead of laying on the couch reading blogs…..
Read a blog, hold a plank, read a blog, hold a plank…
