Game of Thrones Workout Game

This Game of Thrones-Themed Workout Game Will Get You in Battle-Ready Shape

Watching Game of Thrones can be pretty stressful, which makes it exactly the kind of show that would pair well with a glass of wine and some munchies (so you don't gnaw your fingernails during the many, many tense scenes). But we've got a better idea. Your heart rate is probably already elevated from waiting on pins and needles to see what the next twist is, so why not take advantage?

We've created a Game of Thrones workout game to take your Sunday night viewing to the next level. Here's how it works: each time one of the listed events happens in any given episode, do the corresponding move. Winter may have arrived on Game of Thrones, but Summer is almost here in real life — so get toned and burn calories while the last few episodes of the epic drama unfold.

Ready to get started? Read on for our official Game of Thrones live-watching workout challenge, and print it off to have it handy for each of the final six episodes!
