If you’re feeling lazy but still want to stay active, here are five easy, low-effort exercises to keep you moving without too much strain:
1. Seated Leg Lifts 🦵💺
- Sit on a chair, keep your back straight, and lift one leg at a time.
- Hold for a few seconds, then switch.
- Great for engaging your core and legs while sitting!
2. Wall Sit (Lazy Squat) 🏋️♂️🧱
- Lean against a wall and slide down until your knees are at a 90-degree angle.
- Hold for as long as possible (even 20 seconds is good!).
- Strengthens your legs and glutes without any movement.
3. Lying Down Bicycle Kicks 🚲🛏️
- Lie on your back, lift your legs, and slowly “pedal” in the air.
- You can even do this in bed!
- Works your core with minimal effort.
4. Bed Stretches & Side Leg Raises 🛏️🦿
- While lying in bed, do gentle leg raises and side stretches.
- Improves flexibility and keeps your muscles active.
5. Lazy Plank (Forearm Plank on Bed or Couch) 🤸♂️
- Instead of a full plank, do a forearm plank on your couch or bed.
- Hold for a few seconds, rest, and repeat.
- Engages your core and requires minimal movement.
💡 Bonus Tip: Try adding these into daily activities (e.g., leg lifts while watching TV). Small movements add up over time!
