Evil Dead Season 3 Workout

    After another stressful week of life in the pandemic, I have rediscovered my love of a basic workout. As I have mentioned before, my preferred workout involves a TV show and something like a drinking game but with exercises substituted for alcohol. As luck would have it my chosen workout TV show, Ash Versus the Evil Dead, has a new third season available on Netflix in Japan. The problem with a TV show like this is it every season sees some changes and likewise my workouts had to adapt.

    I realized in restarting this process that on my previous list included workout moves that I just do not remember. When I'm not entirely sure what some of these things are, they become really hard to do when I am in the middle of watching a TV show at the same time. For this reason, I suggest that anyone doing this with any show chooses moves you already know and keep in mind that the most important thing is to keep moving. If you thought when you were writing your list that jumping jacks would be fine, but in the moment they are weirdly painful, don't do them. Choose an alternative workout on the fly or just keep jogging in place. Again, the important thing is to keep moving. The goal of the workout is not to specifically note every single move that you wrote down on the paper. Instead, just continuing getting your body moving and working your muscles out is more important.

Apologies for the handwriting. A lot of this was jotted down during a workout. 

    Accuracy is not really the goal. No one in your living room is judging whether or not your push-ups were in perfect form. Continual motion is the real target here. Squeezing in a workout with a TV show that you're invested in increases the likelihood that you will actually continue working out at least until you're done with that show or that season. It doesn't have to be every day, and for me it definitely is not. I'm lucky if I can squeeze in two workouts a week between my kid having randomly occurring days off of school and my husband taking random days off of work. Nothing ruins the flow of exercise like having to stop and explain a plot point to someone who hasn't been watching the show or having to shut off the definitely not child-appropriate program because someone entered the room.

   October is a great month to enjoy something spooky and if you're into horror, feel free to borrow my workout or adapt your own. Let me know how it works out for you.
