During a normal 30-minute block of TV programming, there are approximately 8 minutes of commercials.  Use those 8 minutes to maximize your well being by incorporating exercise into the commercial breaks.  Adding exercise to an activity (such as watching TV) that you do on a daily basis can be a good way to start incorporating more healthy habits into your daily routine.  Plus it\u2019s a free and easy addition to something you\u2019re probably already doing!  Use these exercises during commercial breaks to increase your activity level and go from couch potato to couch enabled!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"alignleft is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sit-to-Stand-Blog-01-17-20-3-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4849\" width=\"129\" height=\"172\" srcset=\"https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sit-to-Stand-Blog-01-17-20-3-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sit-to-Stand-Blog-01-17-20-3-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sit-to-Stand-Blog-01-17-20-3-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sit-to-Stand-Blog-01-17-20-3-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/liveyourlifept.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/Sit-to-Stand-Blog-01-17-20-3-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 129px) 100vw, 129px\" \/><figcaption>Courtesy of Live Your Life<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Sit to Stand<\/strong><br><strong>Activity<\/strong>: Sit forward at the edge of your seat with feet flat on the floor.
