Sometimes the hardest part of working out is just getting yourself up and out the door. When you feel like you really need to move around but just can’t find the energy to get off the couch, one hack is just to exercise from the couch. Luckily there are some great workouts you can do without leaving the living room. You can even put on a show or a podcast and let your mind veg out while you do these moves. If you don’t have energy for a full rotation, just do the moves you’re feeling up toβ€”a little movement is always better than none at all!

Full Body Workout

This full-body workout from Ania Tippkemper includes a rotation of 9 exercises to strengthen many different muscles in your body. It’s a bit intense and involves a lot of floor/couch work, so if you have a yoga mat to put down for cushion this is the time to use it.

Energizing Routine

This collection of five low-impact exercises from Fitness Fission is a great way to get your heart rate up a bit and your body warm after you’ve been sitting still on a couch for a long time. This is a great option for when you feel like you just need a little pick-me-up.

Lying Down Rotation

This “lazy” workout from Next Level Mom lets you stay lying down while working out your core and legs. If your upper body is tired, if your back hurts or you’re stiff, if you’re struggling with dizziness or migraines, or even if you just want to lie down, these easy moves will let you combine comfort and fitness. The description is in German, but click through the videos for great demonstrations of each exercise.

Resistance Bands

Resistance bands wills make your workouts more intense by ramping up the impact. For squats, add a resistance band around your thighs to make your muscles work harder as you work against your own body weight and the resistance of the band.

Switch Up the Pace

A faster pace results in a faster heart rate and more calories burned. In addition, if you slow things down, it can make the exercise more difficult.

Cardio Intervals

If you love a high-calorie burn, but don’t want high-impact moves like burpees and high knees, you can get a similar effect by using a cardio machine like a stationary bike or elliptical and doing interval work.

Compound Movements

Compound movements work more than one muscle group at the same time. The exercises boost your heart rate and increases the demand on your body. Some compound movements include deadlifts, squats, pullups, and bench presses.
