Challenge Tips

It's day 6 of the Building Your Strength Challenge, powered by Humana.

Who says watching your favorite show must be sedentary? Make it active today (and build strength while you’re at it) with some simple exercises. 

Worried you’ll miss a tense scene or plot twist while exercising? Take advantage of those 15- second breaks between episodes. Do a body weight exercise (like a plank or wall-sit) during that time.

Here are a few ideas:

• Sit in a squat
• Hold a plank
• Do standing lunges
• Try standing calf raises
• Sit on the floor and stretch
• Jog in place
