A very good point made by Gokul there. It is so important to plan set programs to watch rather than sit in front of the T.V. and channel hop. If there is nothing on, make a difference and get up and do something productive

Thanks for your comment Gokul

Why don’t we put a treadmill in front of the TV? Instead of calling couch potatoes, can we name as treadmill beans? I’ve done so and using it while watching inevitable channels like sports, news or favourite movie channels. I watch a lot of TV and keep switching the channel to get the most useful channel like Discovery, History and Animal planet to keep updated with the technology, knowledge of living things, martial arts to protect ourselves, market rates and current affairs. There is so much good about TV. But, it depends on what we watch whether they are useful for us or to teach our children and so on. Quite contrary, isn’t it?

If people can find time for TV but then say they are too tired to train I think the real reason is that they don’t want to train. They then use work, fatigue, chores etc as an excuse to avoid it. Many professional sports people who only made it big later on in life had to deal with the exact same responsibilities as they worked their way up – but they still managed to train consistently.

I generally don’t watch any TV on weeknights. My routine is pretty much get up, do some work on the blog, go to work, train, come home, cook, eat, sleep. On weekends I usually watch a reasonable amount to keep me updated with the football but I never let it interfere with other things. I would never cancel a meeting, training session, get together etc because “I just want to watch this TV program”.

Exactly! I agree with Ghada. Constant exercise and good discipline is really good for your health and keep you in good shape.

Not only is TV hazardous to your waist line, but also to your brain depending on your show. I traveled overseas for over two weeks and over indulged in food, activities and family fun. I came back to step on the scale and noticed that I lost lbs!! I honestly didn’t watch any TV unless there was a monitor in the hotel lobby or restaurant.

Limit your TV and increase your activities. Your body will thank you.

Thanks for letting me comment.

Love, Ghada
