The Amazing World Cup Workout

The instruction manual for all those determined to stay fit even during the most crucial four weeks for 99.8% of humanity’s male half.

National Anthems Six-Pack

While the national anthems play hold a (full!) beer can in each hand, arms stretched out to the sides. Add another can every following match and work up to an entire six-pack!

Good Goal

When your team scores, do as many happy jumping jacks as the back number of the player scoring.

Bad Goal

When the other team scores, do as many pull-ups as the scorer’s back number (heh, it has to hurt, right?).

Half-Time HIIT

During the break, race to the gas station, supermarket or convenience store to refill on beer, chips, crisps and pretzels. If the porch tries to foul you, demand it getting red-carded.

Italian Injury

When an Italian player goes to the ground and into Sicilian opera mode, do as many crunches as his back number, screaming “ow, it hurts, mamma mia!”

Tiny Wall Of Germany

Imagine you are 6’1″ whenever Phillip Lahm forms a one-man-wall.

African Fast Forward

Every time you see an African striker with a strip of bleached hair do a lunge and go whoosh!

Portuguese Pomade

After all that stress, sort your hair whenever you see a close-up of Cristiano Ronaldo.

Great Wall Of Greece

Whenever Greece lines up everyone in their penalty area, do a plank.

Russian Meditation

Do a meditative handstand for as long as it takes a Russia – South Korea game to become interesting (warning: this can be very taxing!).

Japanese High Reps

Whenever you see Japan attack and nothing comes of it, do a 1 lb dumbbell curl.

Have Fun!

Now go and enjoy the World Cup!
