Whenever someone says the word “actually” = 5 sumo squats
Anytime you hear the song “Christmas Is All Around Me” = 10 push ups
Any of Jamie’s (Colin Firth’s) terrible attempts to communicate with Aurelia = 10 bicycle crunches
Any dramatic music swells = 10 supermans
Whenever a storyline crosses over = 10 cross body climbers
Anyone refers to Stephanie as fat = 20 second side plank, each side
Any British swear word (bugger, wanker, bloody, sod)
Whenever Sarah’s (Laura Linney’s) phone rings = 10 diamond push ups
Anytime you want to slap Mia (sultry secretary) = 10 buttkickers
