A sedentary lifestyle can lead to extra inches around the waist, so if you're trying to lose weight you need to increase your physical activities. One way to keep yourself off your couch is to put yourself on a TV diet. Restrict the amount of television you watch to 10 hours a week. Don't replace TV time with playing video games or surfing the net. Unless of course you need some FitSugar motivation or to read a recap on Buzz since you're now watching less TV. Limiting your screen time should get you moving more, or at least cut down on time spent snacking in front of the television.

    Also, get up and move during the commercials! It adds up (my mom used to hula hoop at breaks).

    Orrrr ...park your treadmill, bike, medicine ball, weights, or thigh master, or whatever in front of the television.

    I like to keep it on mute.. put the captions on.. and turn my XM Radio up. Smiling The music keeps me going longer.. the visuals make the time more enjoyable and I tend to go a little longer.

    I actually kinda watch TV to keep my mind off of food sometimes, but that's just me!

    I think tips like this might be more helpful if fun, easy, free (or as inexpensive as cable TV) were offered. People who know what to do with their time probably already watch way less TV than the masses.

    I watch TV while I work out on the elliptical machine, so I don't count that as "sedentary" time. And I only watch probably an hour of TV a night after work anyway.

    i load tv/movies onto my ipod and watch them while i do cardio. most times, i'll be so engrossed in the shows that i'll press on longer than i'd normally want to.
