What are the two main things you regularly do when you're not working, teaching your kids or cleaning your house? Probably watching TV and exercising! It's nice let our brains check out for a bit and be entertained by a binge-worthy show after a lot of hard work. And it's also nice to move our bodies and get some endorphins to release stress. If you feel like some days you're having to choose one over the other, try combining them! Maximize your time by getting your workout in and finding out what happens next in your favorite series.
