A member asked:

Is exercise better or worse if you're watching tv at the same time?

Specializes in Sports Medicine

Depends: Exercise is all dependent upon how hard you are working, how long you are doing it and what your goals are. Certainly doing exercise while watching tv is much better than watching tv alone.
