Use ad breaks to burn calories

Next time you find yourself in this situation, try using the time more profitably as it can help you burn some calories if you are trying to lose weight.

Hand weights

Use household items as hand weights and perform some strength training exercises.

Squats and lunges

You could also perform squats and lunges, alternating between both as the adverts change.

Trampoline

Alternatively if you have a mini trampoline at home, try to get in a specific number of jumps during break time. You can increase this number as you become more fit.

You will be surprised to discover just how quickly time passes and, more importantly, just how many calories you can burn during this time.
