The Ultimate Friends TV Show Workout

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Pitt chapter.

If you’ve never done a TV show workout, it’s essentially like a drinking game. Every time Olivia Benson goes after a perp, you, yup, take a drink. But sometimes, we have to take care of our bodies (obviously so we can wreck them on weekends), so I’m giving you a TV show workout instead of a TV show drinking game. Don’t worry, it’s not total torture. You get to watch Friends! As if you needed another reason to watch Friends.

Here’s a little guide in case you want to switch up the actual moves!

(Joey = abs, Ross = cardio, Chandler = legs, Monica = arms, Rachel = butt, Phoebe = cardio)

1. Every time Joey says “How you doin’?”

DO FIVE SIT-UPS

2. Every time Ross says “Hi” likes he’s the absolute most miserable human being on the planet

DO TEN JUMPING JACKS

3. Every time Chandler makes a sarcastic comment

DO EIGHT BACKWARD LUNGES (Think like Joey is wearing ALL of your clothes!)

4. Every time Monica cleans…or talks about cleaning…or you can just tell she wants to clean

DO A THIRTY SECOND FOREARM PLANK

5. Every time Rachel says something ditzy

DO TWELVE GRASSHOPPERS

6. Every time Phoebe sings

DO SIX FROGGY HOPS

7. Every time Joey eats or mentions a sandwich

DO SIXTEEN RUSSIAN TWISTS

8. Every time Ross talks about dinosaurs

DO FOURTEEN MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS

9. Every time Chandler rolls his eyes

DO TEN SCISSORS

10. Every time Monica takes something out of the oven

DO SEVEN TRICEP DIPS

11. Every time Rachel messes up someone’s coffee order

DO TEN HEEL KICKS

12. Every time Phoebe screams

DO THIRTY SECONDS OF SPEED SKATERS

13. AND for every appearance/mention of Ugly Naked Guy

DO FIVE BURPEES
