TV Show Workout: Orphan Black
Finally, a show that Canada can be proud of. Ok, that's a bit mean to Canadian television, but in all honesty... well, it's a bit true. Orphan Black is amazing, not only is the plot wicked crazy and full of twists, the acting is UNBELIEVABLE as is the technology that goes into it. While you're watching it you don't even realize how complex it would be to shoot it, but they basically had to completely reinvent certain techniques in order to shoot it the way that they did. I've been binge-watching nonstop, so I figured I should break a sweat while I'm at it.
Anytime someone pulls out a gun = 30 second arm circles
Anytime we meet a new clone = 10 tricep dips
Every time Felix flirts with a man = 10 jack knife sit-ups
Whenever anyone dies = 10 cross body climbers
When anyone coughs blood = 30 second plank
Sarah calls Felix “Fe” = 5 jump squats
Anytime Felix or Kira is painting = 30 second glute bridge
Anytime Helena says/does something crazy = 5 jumping jacks
When Cosima uses science jargon = 5 side lunges, each side
Whenever Alison touches her face = 10 sumo squats
The term clone is used = 5 diamond push-ups
Neolution is mentioned = 10 bicycles
During any clone web cam conference = 30 second side plank each side
Cosima smokes weed = 10 spider climbers
Whenever anyone swears (including “bloody”) = 5 tuck jumps
Whenever Felix removes any piece of clothing = 5 burpees
Whenever a pink clone phone rings = 10 oblique crunches
Bonus move: high knees during the theme songs
