Fitness expert, Beth Oliver, came and stayed during the entire show to demonstrate how to work in a workout during our program's commercial breaks.  This is what you need to know:

 Here are 5 top tips for at home workouts :

1. Work from largest to smallest muscle groups.
2. The more joints moving the better.
3. Start with just your own body weight.
4. Add locomotion (like moving across the floor), larger range of motion or external resistance (like weights or bands).
5. Use active rest like switching to the other side, or stretching when you get tired.
