When writer Jessica Catcher put out her TV show workout guide via Mashable.com, we felt fit to add just a little bit to it. Watching TV doesn’t necessarily mean that you have to be a couch potato. If one were to simply watch their favorite shows, and do some workout exercises while the shows were on, in theory the more TV you watch, the more of a workout you’d get. Check out our improved list of Netflix shows that could give you some of the best workouts by just following a few simple rules. Much like a drinking game, when something specific happens, you have a few actions to do… the more you watch, the better workout you get.
