But this article isn't just another pep talk about seizing the day before your toddler does.

Let’s Get Physical—Netflix Style
The next time you find yourself in a Netflix binge, try this: during every episode, commit to some form of movement. Whether that's sit-ups, 'flapjacks' (one of my signature moves where you flip over every commercial break), or impromptu dance parties—break it up into chunks that make sense for you.
Find exercise apps or programs that fit your newfound time budget. Your favorite series can become a time for curls (the bicep kind, not just curling under a blanket).
