Fitness Friday: Downton Abbey Workout

Via Official Downton Abbey Facebook (itv)

Have you noticed TV show workouts popping up lately?  Fiterazzi Magazine posted this Bachelor Workout Challenge earlier this week.  The Tone It Up girls featured a commercial break workout on their Facebook page to do during their Bravo show on Thursday night.  

Call me a dork, but I think this is SUCH a fun idea!

I'm still holding out hope that someone with lovely graphics skills will answer my prayers with a Downton Abbey workout, but in the meantime, U.S. viewers have Episode 3 coming up on Sunday!  To hold you (and me!) over until bigger and better things come along, here is my totally unofficial "Downton Abbey" Workout.
Rules: When you see/hear the listed action , do the corresponding workout command.

  1. The Dowager Countess delivers a zinger -----> 10 curtsy dips
  2. Scene switches to from below to above stairs -----> 10 high-knee runs
  3. The Grantham family sits down to dinner -----> 10 narrow pulsing squats
  4. Thomas says/does something devious -----> 10 skaters
  5. Lord Grantham laments how times are changing -----> 10 ab bicycles
Join me on Sunday night (or whenever you're catching up via DVR) and tell me about it below!

    1. Yes and I love it! The first Fiterazzi workout challenge was actually the inspiration for this one. Have you seen the Pure Barre Oscars workout challenge? https://www.facebook.com/PureBarre/photos/a.173875036175.131884.165452371175/10151902233836176/?type=1&theater
