If you do not live alone at home, you can include other members of the household in this activity. You can even turn it into a fun competition.
Bring Games to Life

Exercise in Front of Television
Do you have a habit of watching television while lying down? And if you are consuming snacks in front of the TV. While this may cause you to lose weight, it takes away a lot from your health.
