Hope you don’t mind knee highs *wink* Here’s a link to a printable version of The X-Files workout, as well as instructions and tips for performing the various workout moves. Not sure what a burpee is, or how to do a mountain climber? That link will provide photo instructions for assistance. Also, remember to stay hydrated when working out!

As a side note, this is not meant to be a serious workout routine, but rather a fun bit of exercise while you enjoy the show. If you really want to lose weight, set up a steady workout routine and combine it with a healthy diet. If any exercise hurts, please discontinue to prevent injury.
