Drinking games can have their time and place, but if you\u2019re watching the NCAA March Madness<\/a> unfold away <\/em>from the bar, we\u2019ve got a better (read: healthier!) way to bring the action right to you. Real talk: Americans drink an estimated 220 million gallons of beer during March Madness \u2014 not to mention the 120 million chicken wings and 55 million slices of pizza<\/a> that wash it all down!<\/p>\n

But rather than raising a red Solo cup for every dunk, three-pointer and game-winning bucket, how about a few tuck jumps, push-ups<\/a> and burpees<\/a> instead? That\u2019s right: We\u2019re challenging you to give this Game Day workout the old college try \u2014 all tourney long! So break open your bracket and break a sweat with the best of \u2018em.<\/p>\n
