Want to get a workout but not at the expense of your binge-watching session of House of Cards? Good news! You don’t have to choose between fitness and fandom. Netflix put together a guide called “Watch It While You Work It” that calculates the average calories that can be burned on the treadmill, stationary bike or elliptical while you catch up on your favorite shows.
The latest 22-minute episode of New Girl? 152 calories. Binging on an entire season of Orange is the New Black? 4,995 calories! Whether you invest in an elliptical or pace in place doesn’t make a significant difference, but be aware of a possible arch and hyperextension in your neck, which can occur from peering at a screen from unusual angles.
