    I can't really get out to run - no gym, no treadmill, single parent w/ 8 yr old prone to overheating - but at home sometimes at night I'll jog in place whenever a character in the tv show or movie I'm watching is running. Not exactly the same but better than sitting on the couch the whole time.

    Rachel, something I always mean to do is jog/squats/lunges/crunches/whatever throughout every commercial break.

    I think it's great that you guys are working out during tv time!

    If you don't do commercial breaks, you could always search pinterest for workouts tailored to your favorite shows. These routines get you to do a certain set of exercises when a character does or says something specific.. It's usually a trademark line or move like, Sheldon's "Bazinga", or Gibbs smacking someone on the back of the head. This one has a pretty random assortment of shows. http://www.buzzfeed.com/peggy/workouts-that-allow-you-to-watch-an-ungodly-amount-of-tel

    Here's another great site for Jedi, Superhero, or Warrior workouts: http://neilarey.com/workouts.html?limitstart=0

    Sometimes I imagine zombies are chasing me. Or that I'm a cop chasing down a drug king pin for the kick *kitten* tackle.

    Sounds like a brilliant idea. Running from zombies, post-apocalyptic monsters, etc. Or go Lord of the Rings and be Aragorn, Gimli, and Legolas running to find Merry and Pippin. I was a footballer all the way through college, so pretending to be Ronaldo, etc. might bring up some traumatic memories of pre-season. Haha.
    Thanks to you, now I'm going to hear the Fellowship of the Ring theme song in my head every time! :laugh: Dun, dun, dun dun DUN...
    Sometimes I pretend I'm Ezio on a mission or the Lone Wanderer running from feral ghouls...and I pretend my dog is the dog from Fallout 3, "Dogmeat". Weird but it works! :D
    I love it! Those suckers run fast though, I wish I could load that horrible feral ghoul sound into my music to play at random times. That would sure get me running!!

    I totally do this and I'm glad I'm not the only one because I doubt I'd have ever admitted it. I'm a legend in my own mind when I run. Usually a completely badass hero of some sort saving the day :)

    My mind wanders with whatever book I happen to be reading, like Katniss, or whatever zombie thriller. And Runner 5, of course. I love Zombies, Run!

    I've seen a ton of these on Pinterest for shows I don't watch. I have made up a few of my own for shows I do watch.
