Work Out In Bed

Jump start your mornings with these quickies

  What’s the best way to burn calories in bed?

OK, yes I totally know what you’re thinking and while I am definitely in favor of that…thanks to the help of Laurel House, aka The Quickie Chick, we ladies have a new way for you to get your burn on right in your very own bed!




Seriously! Laurel explains, “How many times have you gotten in bed only to realize that you ‘forgot’ to work out that day? Or what about when you wake up in the morning and you just can’t seem to motivate yourself to get out of bed because it’s too cold beyond the covers? Stop hitting snooze! Do butt squeezes instead.”



Sounds strange? Well it may be, but doing bed exercises in the morning will not only tone muscles but it will also get your heart pumping, blood flowing, and get you wide awake and ready for the day!

Think that the bed is just for sleep and sex? Laurel said, “I used to believe in that bed sanctity too. But the fact is that exercising in bed is a great place to get in a few minutes (even an entire hour) of exercise. At night I would get in bed and knew I hadn’t really gotten in my workout yet, so I started doing Pilates-style moves in bed while watching TV. The next day my thighs were seriously sore. Two weeks later they were slimmer.”

As the concept grew and Laurel’s body shrunk, she developed an entire workout plan done entirely in bed! Check out a few of her fave bed exercises in the easy to follow videos below:
