There are times when you want to settle into a comfortable chair and watch some great TV.

But you'll turn into a couch potato if that's all you do.

"The average 1 hour TV show has 14 minutes of commercials, so the viewers can fit in a great workout," said Jonathan Roche, Founder & CEO of Breakthrough Health & Fitness, Inc.

Marching in place, walking up the stairs, and push ups against the wall are just a few of the simple exercises you can do during ad breaks.

Roche's other tips:

  • Get your workout clothes on before the program begins
  • Commit to moving
  • Rally your family
  • Mix it up to keep it fun
  • Pick certain shows to always workout during
