No longer just the place where you curl up for a movie marathon, in recent weeks, your couch has likely also become your office, classroom, and bar . Now, you can add gym to that list. Fitness pros agree that interrupting your regularly scheduling sitting for some easy couch exercises could be just what your body needs in these more sedentary times.
“Short couch routines are a perfect way to keep your blood moving, strengthen and stretch your muscles, and give you a brief physical reset between Zoom meetings and deadlines,” says New York City-based. “The increased blood flow will help you focus and keep your body from suffering the consequences of an entire day seated in front of your computer.”
So whether you want to squeeze in a quick workout during your lunch break or in the evening while unwinding and watching TV, here are a handful of trainer-approved couch exercises you can try. Fair warning: Just because these moves are couch-friendly, that doesn’t mean they won’t make you sweat.No step, no problem. You can still get your step-ups in with the help of your couch. “Start by facing your couch and standing strong with both feet shoulder-width apart,” says Los Angeles-based.
“Bend your knees to rest your calves and heels on the sofa,” he says. “Place your hands at the side of your head at your temples. Lift your shoulders off the ground about 1 or 2 inches, draw your navel in towards your spine, and repeat.” Do about 15-20 reps for three sets, and you’re good to go.
