I get it. The kids are napping and you want to watch Lorelai and Rory allude to pop culture gems on Netflix while you binge eat puppy chow. Like I said, I get it.
But you’re also like, “Meh. Maybe I should work out while the kids are quiet.”
My friends, what if you could do BOTH (both both both echo echo echo)?!? Minus the puppy chow because…compromises.
While the Gilmore girls may look down upon your choice to sweat, I’m here to cheer you on! Give it a try! And, uh, let me know how it goes. I’ll be over here with the puppy chow.
The Gilmore Girls Netflix Workout
Stretch then…
- Run in place for the opening credits
- 20 lunges in episodes where Rory dates Dean, 24 for Jess and 28 for Logan
- 50 crunches when an event is happening in Stars Hallow
- Pop Culture Reference: drink water
- 10 pushups when anyone references coffee
- Wall sit for as long as you can whenever Paris is sarcastic
- 3 burpees when Emily talks about the DNR
- 10 squats when Rory reads a book
- 15 jumping jacks when you hear the “la la la” music
- Plank for as long as you can when either Girlmore girl goes to Luke’s
…then stretch.
fine print: Always talk to your doc before beginning an exercise routine. Stop if you feel funny. Not if you look funny. Everyone looks funny while they workout. I mean light headed or something like that. Then you can stop. Oh, also, drink water.
I had so much fun thinking of common GG plot pieces. What other ones can you think of? Also, in the combox, are you Team Dean, Team Jess or Team Logan? Team Logan here.
I love it!
Okay, I don’t know why I never saw this show when it was first on but I just started watching it last month. I am addicted to it, dang it! I’m usually doing laundry or cooking but I may have to try the GG workout. I just started season 3 this week so there are characters I haven’t met yet. ;-)
According to NY Daily News the average American spends about 5 hour per day watching TV. Imagine if that time was spent exercising! For one…. you’d have to expand the workout above. Or maybe you should develop workouts for different shows.
Hahaha this is awesome and makes me want to watch the whole series again! Team Logan here too…but I’m married to a Logan so maybe you shouldn’t ask me. ;)
Oh man, that’s way too many push-ups!
Jenna.
This is hilarious. YOU are hilarious. I might have to give this a try!
Ok, I just finished season 3. IS that seriously how it ends with Jess? He calls Rory but never actually speaks to her? Is that the last we see of him? So unsatisfying.
I’m pretty sure if you drink water everytime there is a pop culture reference you would drown. :)
Will definitely give it a try! Thanks for sharing, Jenna!
Very great routine, well done Jenna! Just want to add that stretching is as important as workout itself, I suggest a minimum 10 minutes stretching before doing such exercises.
Wow!!! great post!!I think the things you covered through the post are quiet impressive, good job and great efforts. I found it very interesting and enjoyed reading all of it…keep it up, lovely job..
I think you meant D.A.R. (Daughter’s of the American Revolution) not D.N.R. (a directive meaning “do not resuscitate”)
Hi, thanks for this post. Can you help me to find a quality muay thai gear, maybe you or your friend already use some. Thanks a lot!
