You can burn some calories and improve your fitness tonight – just by watching the Olympics.
According to a study in Frontiers in Autonomic Neuroscience, watching other people competing and performing can actually increase our own heart rates, respiration and blood flow. It’s known as sympathetic nerve activity. Some people watching sports will even experience sympathetic muscle flexing and sweating.
You can get even more out of your Olympic viewing workout by altering your viewing habits. Go ahead and stand up at the end of any given event. Stretch a little or sprint to the kitchen and back and get in the games, right from the comfort of home.
