Lazy Lady Workouts: Exercise In Bed

We all have days where we struggle to get out of bed. Whether you’re feeling tired or maybe just a little lazy, your progress doesn’t have to suffer! We’ve got you covered on low impact workouts and seated exercise, but how about some you can do without even getting out of bed?

Laying on your side, bend your elbow with your palm on the side of your head for support. Lift your leg as high as it can go, hold for five seconds, bring it back down and repeat on the other side. Do 15 to 20 reps either side.

Laying down on your back with your knees bent, place your feet flat on the bed. Exhale and squeeze your abdomen and buttocks to lift your hips up while pressing your heels into the mattress. Do 10 to 15 reps.

Laying on your back, bend your knees and keep your feet flat on the mattress. Cross your right ankle over your left thigh. Gently press on your right thigh and hold for 20 seconds. Repeat on the other leg. Do 15 to 20 reps either side. 

This one requires a touch more effort, but it still works in bed! In fact, it’s arguably more challenging for your core on a soft surface. 

Laying on your stomach with your elbows under your shoulders, put your forearms flat on the bed. Hold your body up in the air in the plank position for 30 seconds to 1 minute. 

These exercises are ideal for those lazy Sundays, rainy days or days where we simply lack the energy to leave our beds!
