E4T – Exercise Blog: 1-1000, 2-1000, 3-1000, 4 and Hold

By katiebird | Published: March 23, 2006

The E4T Exercise Blog will meet at the top of each hour tonight. It’s your choice of floor exercises, yoga stretches or (my choice) hallway walking or living room pacing.

Some suggestions for floor exercises (write yours up and we’ll add them to the lineup):

Reclining Bicycle Exercise for Televiewing

Reclining Ballerina Televiewing Exercise

Exercises for the Feet

A walking set is the full 5 minutes of walking or pacing; for the others, do as instructed.

Are you ready? And, 1-1000. . .

    Chair Dancing for Ripped Biceps

    Obtain two full cans of soft drink or beer from the refrigerator.

    Plop the self in a comfortable chair without arms.

    Use your remote to turn your TV to one of the MTV channels, Flip through or wait until a song you like comes on.

    Take one can of soft drink in each hand, and think of Liza Minelli in Cabaret, crossing one leg, then the other, while sitting on a stool.

    Pretend you are Liza Minelli and begin this leg crossing activity in time to the music. Once this is established, raise one hand with the soft drink, and bring it back down. Repeat the action with the other hand.

    Continue performing both arm and leg activities until song ends.

    Dancers with stronger arms and/or more ostentatious bicep ambitions may substitute bricks or patio stones for the cans of soft drink.

    (kbird I will make this a post and put it in the exercises dish later)

    I like this! Soon I will be shamed into adding Exercise Instructions as one of the Popular Subjects.

    Did you do your ’set’ an hour ago? It’s just about time to do it again! (You can do 10 minutes this time if you missed the last hour).

    Ready? Get up and do it again!

    I did my next 2 sets! I did leg lifts while I was ‘at couch’ and then I did my hall walking.

    I am resembling a ballerina while looking for something more interesting to view than Anderson Cooper. I wish What Not to Wear was on.

    If madame took a photo of you in full stretch, could you blank out your head and post it for us to see?
