Grey's Anatomy Workout

The pacing of this show lends itself better to yoga and body weight exercises than some of the other shows I've seen. This routine is largely based on yoga, pilates and other similar body weight exercises. For the yoga exercise, assume three sets of 10 reps. You may choose to rest for 1-2 minutes between each set. Make sure that you are moving at a comfortable pace and not rushing these exercises. 

You may not have enough time to complete the set before the next item comes up in the plot. If this occurs, merely pause the episode to complete your sets or continue working out until you have completed 15-30 minutes of exercise at a comfortable pace. (Remember my disclaimer from last post, I am not a personal trainer nor a doctor, so feel free to verify with them if this, or any other, exercise plan is right for you).

Feel free to leave a comment if you need a link to a how-to guide for any of the exercises below.

Also, let me know if you have any ideas for television series on Netflix or movies that you would like to take to the gym!
