Winter has been a long time coming in Westeros since we first heard the phrase back in April 2011, when Game Of Thrones Season 1 hit our TV screens and changed the world forever.

GoT Death-By-Burpees Bingo

Unlike the battle for the Iron Throne, this game is simple. You don’t even need to leave your couch between the opening sequence and whatever harrowing scene rocks you to the core an hour later.

HOW IT WORKS:

1/ Print the GoT bingo sheet or screen grab it to your phone.

2/ Keep it handy when you watch GoT so you can tick things off as they appear in the episode (IMPORTANT: you only need to count the first appearance; we don’t want you to die literally!). Each one corresponds with a number of burpees.

3/ At the end of the episode, add up the number of burpees you have to do.

4/ Do the burpees all in one go at some point before the next GoT episode airs. Rest as needed, by try to rest as little as possible. Post a pic or video and tag Women’s Health on Instagram or Twitter using #WHGoTChallenge.

When you add up how many burpees you’re gonna have to do…
