Harry Potter Work Out

I'm as big of a nerd as many, so I decided to re-discover this work out to make me feel less guilty if I ever decide to do a marathon of these movies. I'm sure there are many people who claim to  have created it in the first place, so I have no clue who to give the  credit to. I can say, though, that I am the one who modified this version. I have bad knees, so I need something different than  squats, lunges and jumping jacks to do, since those are all hard on the poor limbs.


Harry Potter Workout
Modified for Bad Knees

A spell is cast.........................................................................10 jumping jacks /leg-lifts/ swimmers
Anyone is awarded points......................................................10 leg lifts (full 90 deg)
Points are taken away............................................................10 swimmers
Hagrid says “I shouldn’t have said that”..................................30 jumping jacks /leg-lifts/ swimmers
A painting talks......................................................................15 crunches
Someone says “He-who-must-not-be-named”.......................10 situps
Or someone says “You-know-who”......................................10 situps
Ron says “Bloody hell”..........................................................10 Swimmers
Someone cries.......................................................................20 crunches
Someone says Voldemort......................................................5 push ups
Any pet is shown..................................................................10 Leg lifts
A ghost talks.........................................................................5 pushups

Alternatives to sit-ups and Crunches- Plank for the same amount of time.
