The Oscar-Winning Workout 2009

I was thinking about the Academy Awards happening tonight and have just this morning found 'The Oscar-Winning Workout'. It was created by Bethany Lyons of Crunch NYC. The details are as follows:

- Do fast feet every time someone thanks his or her Mom: "Run in place, moving feet quickly, for 10 seconds. Then jog in place with knees high for 10 seconds. Repeat series three times."

- Do tricep dips every time the camera cuts to a celebrity who's not amused by the host's joke: "Sit on the edge of a chair with hands beside hips, with legs slightly extended and feet together on floor; slide butt off seat. Bend elbows, lowering butt toward floor; straighten arms. Do 10 reps."

- Do high plank every time the orchestra cuts off a verbose speaker: "Get into push-up position and hold for one minute."

- Do 10 squat jumps every time a reporter asks "Who are you wearing tonight?" during the red carpet segment.

- Do 20 bicycle crunches every time the camera flashes to Oscar-nominated sweethearts Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt.

The fun of the workout reminds of the time when my friends and I would clap when the claps happen in the 'Friends' TV show theme song each episode, or when you take a sip of your drink every time you watch someone enter and/or exit in a sitcom. Adding fun to anything in your life is simply in itself- fun!

The Oscar-Winning Workout is a great way to start. It'll be easier for those watching the Oscars in America. Since it's broadcast live, it may be seen at other times throughout the world. In the UK for example it'll be seen first thing in the morning so hopefully Brits won't be too tired to take part in the fun. Either way, have fun!
