Super Bowl, CrossFit style

31 Jan

2-1-2009

Super Bowl Sunday – get ready to sit on your haunches for 5+ hours and soak in 4 1/2 hours of commercials and 1/2 hour of athletic action. Lets make the evening a little more interesting, CrossFit style.

Once the party starts ( TV is on and anything Super Bowl related is on it), the “workout” starts. Non-crossfitting friends with you for the big game? What a great way to introduce them to a little CrossFit!

Post total results to comments

For every beer commercial – 10 situps
For every fast food commercial – 10 squats
For every shot of excessive cleavage, commercial or game – 2 burpees
Every point scored – do a pistol squat
Every turnover – handstand push up

During halftime, if/when the Boss plays “Born In The USA”, hold in the plank for the whole song.

    excessive cleavage – no such thing
    unless you are talking about John Madden.

    this is my new favorite way to watch TV, besides knitting. My friend suggested a “24″ variation. 24 pushups every time Jack Bauer tortures someone. What else can you do to other shows?

    How about every time House makes a smart a** comment.. you would be doing burpees forever :-)

    If anyone watches The Bachelor, try doing a burpee every time someone says “amazing,” “right reasons,” or makes reference to “putting yourself out there.”

    You can also do this as a drinking game if you want to get truly loaded.

    PS — not that I watch The Bachelor or anything…
