If you’re wondering how on earth you’re going to fit back into your skinny jeans after last week’s food orgy, here’s a really fun and super silly workout created by Reebok trainer Jamie Eason and inspired by Gilmore Girls which dropped on Netflix the day after Thanksgiving. Instead of a drinking game, she came up with a fitness game.
“With binge watching being so commonplace in today’s society, I think adding a workout element will help combine two things that make us feel good, exercise and entertainment,”Eason says. “Sure, it can be fun sometimes to veg out in front of the TV but too much vegging and not enough moving can sometimes wreak havoc on our waistline. Since exercise should be fun, what could be more fun than letting your favorite characters dictate your workout to get you moving? Rory said, ‘Squat!’
