NETFLIX BINGE WATCHING

Anyone can binge watch TV on netflix. Binge watchers often curl up on the couch and get dug in for a few hours of episodic TV. I do things a bit differently. Naturally. I started watching a very creepy and equally engaging show this past weekend: The Followers. This show is about a charismatic serial killer who heads a vicious cult of like-minded misfits. Kevin Bacon is the actor charged with ending this reign of terror. On Saturday night I woke up around 2:00AM and started watching netflix. I watched for a few hours before daybreak. And during every minutes of this binge watching I was walking in place getting in steps and more steps. During the day, I did take an actual urban hike of seven miles with my daughter. During the afternoon and up until midnight, my binge-watching continued. When the clock struck 12:00 midnight my fitbit showed that I had exceeded 70,000 steps for the day. I am well aware that stepping in place does not generate the same benefit as actual walking, but I am sure that its benefit is better than just being slouched in a couch for the equivalent amount of time.

STRANGER THINGS

I had been getting all my exercise for the past six weeks by walking and hiking outdoors. After missing a couple of days in a row, it just seemed like it was time to do something different. For the first time in weeks, I spent some time on the elliptical machine. The bad thing about that was that all my hardened callouses on the palms of my hands had completely disappeared over the past six weeks. After 97 minutes working the handles of the elliptical machine I developed some new annoying painful blisters on my hands which had healed so nicely over the summer. On the other hand (no pun intended) I started to watch a new Netflix series, STRANGER THINGS, and now I am completely hooked. I do not think that it will take me too long to get through this nine episode season.  

first time on the elliptical machine in over six weeks - 97 minutes, 1211 calories

A second session later in the evening had me back on the elliptical machine for an additional 97 minutes.
