Fitness & Films #14- Dr. Seuss Workouts

*Disclaimer*- These workouts I make are for adults. Yes, Dr. Seuss workouts for adults. Who would do them? Well I do. If you read my workout series disclaimer, I already say I am no expert on workout creations- that goes doubly for exercises for children! Use your judgement as a parent before letting your kids do these, and ask a doctor if you have any questions.

A Christmas viewing of How the Grinch Stole Christmas, and tonight's viewing of The Lorax prompted a little bit of rhyming, and the ideas for lots of exercises!

So you want to watch a movie, a film, a flick?
Now you can do it, and get slim quick!
Try these exercises for some Seuss-y fun, 
A more exciting workout than going for a run!
I hope these Fitness & Film workouts make your day, 
and help to make the unhealthiness go away!

The first set of exercises are good for all Dr. Seuss films, followed by sets for the different films. Have fun!
