Best of Both Worlds - Movies and Workout

source

With the Holiday Seasons just around the corner, most of us would surely try to find the time to catch up with some (if not, all) of the great and interesting Hollywood blockbusters that we might have missed during the year.  Or, if you have your own movie collection, now might be the right time to see once more those old movies that have made you cried or laugh, and reminisce those good old days.  

With the cold and chilling winds blowing outside, one has the tendency to spend more time indoors and while away much of their time by sitting in front of their television and watch movies.  For most of us, a great accompaniment to watching movies are great snacks like popcorn, sandwiches, chocolates, candies, chips, a slice or two of your favorite cake, even ice cream and a whole lot of other stuff.  Such inactivity makes us gain more weight during the holidays.

But such need not be the case as shown above.  I glanced upon this article and thought that it would be worth sharing with you.  Its from neilarey.com and it states that one can spend time in front of their TV and still be fit.  Movie Night Workout is the title of the infographic and it shows several exercises that one can perform while sitting and not miss any important part of the movie that they are watching.  It is like the saying "Hitting two birds with one stone", enjoying a good movie and still being fit.

These are her advises:

What Part Of Our Body These Workouts Are Good For: These exercises and workouts are ideal for the quadriceps area, front hip flexors, the lower abs, abductor muscles, as well as the shoulders.

Her Tips: These exercises are great for tendon-strengthening and at the same time they are low-key and gentle workouts. But if you really want to get the most of these exercises, shorten your rest time before repeating sets by 30 seconds.

For Better Impact: Because these exercises are done while you are sitting down, so there is not much movement in your muscles when you take a punch. Take your punches to a different level by tightening and tensing your biceps and clenching your fists harder as you make a punch. By doing so, this will increase the resistance load on your muscles thereby making your arms work extra hard. 

For the Most Impact: When you are performing the leg swings, you can straighten your leg out by locking your knee and keeping it locked in that position and tensing the thigh as possibly hard as you can. Then after a few seconds you will begin to feel a cramp but do not relax. Maintain the tension, forcing the quadriceps muscles to tighten up a bit until you finish all your leg swing routine. This will help increase the strength in your thighs even though you are maintaining the sitting down position.  

For What Body Types These Exercises Are Good For: There are no restriction on body types when it comes to movie night.

Who Will Benefit Most From These Exercises: These exercises and workouts, according to Neila Rey, are ideal for film critics, television journalists, most especially movie buffs and fans and all people who feel that exercises and keeping fit and healthy need not be forsaken and forgotten just because it happens to be movie night.

Dateline Movie Spotlight: the Iconic Sofia Loren

Acclaimed as Italy's most revered and honored actress, Sophia Loren was born on September 20, 1934 in Clinica Regina Margherita in Rome, Italy to parents Romilda Villani and Riccardo Scicolone.

She first appeared as an uncredited extra in the world-wide-released 1951 movie by MGM entitled Quo Vadis and directed by Mervyn LeRoy.

Her debut film in the US is the 1957 romantic movie by 20th Century Fox entitled Boy on a Dolphin and was directed by Romanian-American director and screewriter Jean Negulesco.  Filmed in Greece, Loren stars as Phaedra, a poor sponge diver who found, as the title of story states, a statue of a boy riding a dolphin.

She has several films to her credit, acting in minor roles until Paramount gave her a five-picture contract in the late 1950's which catapulted her to Hollywood stardom.

In 1962 she earned her Academy Award for Best Actress in her portrayal as Cesira, a mother protecting her daughter from the horror and savagery of World War II. The Italian film was directed by Vittorio De Sica and was entitled Two Women, and was a popular novel by Alberto Moravia.  Sophia Loren was the first person to won an Oscar for a foreign-language/non-English speaking performance.  She also won best actress at the Cannes Film Festival and 22 other awards for her role in the film.

The year 1964 was considered as the highest point of her career when she was offered a whopping $1 million dollars to be cast in the epic and monumental film, The Fall of the Roman Empire, alongside Mel Ferrer, Stephen Boyd, James Mason, Christopher Plummer, Omar Sharif and Alec Guinness and directed by Anthony Mann and with Samuel Bronston as its producer.

In the year 1965, she received her second Academy Awards nomination in the movie, Marriage Italian Style opposite Marcello Mastroianni and again directed by Vittorio De Sica.

On November 6 to 13, 2014, the 28th edition of AFI FEST 2014 of the American Film Institute together with Audi will hold an 8-day film festival in honor of the multi-talented Sophia Loren, one of the greatest screen legends in Hollywood.
