🛋️ My Workout Style: Consists Mostly of Avoiding Workouts
Look, I’ve never been a “fitness is life” person. I’ve been a “why am I sore from carrying groceries” person. A “my sports bra is retired” person. A “does this yoga mat come in decorative only?” person.
But the internet was buzzing about the Lazy Girl Workout — exercises you can do in bed, or while watching TV, or while trying not to cry about life.
Naturally, I was skeptical. Because if it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.
But also, I’m lazy. So I gave it a shot.
🧘 What Even Is the Lazy Girl Workout?
Basically, it’s:
- Short workouts (5–15 minutes)
- No jumping, no sweating buckets
- Often done seated, lying down, or half-asleep
- TikTok’s favorite way to feel productive without moving too much
Think slow pilates moves, leg lifts in bed, glute bridges while watching Netflix, and deep sighs of disbelief.
📅 What I Did (Yes, It Was in Pajamas)
I committed to:
- 10 minutes a day
- Mostly floor-based workouts from YouTube or social media
- No equipment
- No guilt if I wasn’t dripping in sweat
We’re talking:
- Leg circles
- Seated punches
- Lying side kicks
- Bridge pulses
- “Ouch, I didn’t know I had muscles there” moments
😤 Week One: Mild Effort, Major Skepticism
I felt silly. I questioned everything.
“Is this just advanced stretching?”
“Can my muscles even tell this is a workout?”
But then… something weird happened.
💥 Week Two: Subtle But Real Changes
- My core was sore (??)
- I caught myself standing up straighter
- My glutes said hi for the first time in years
- I felt… stronger, but sneakily. Like I had passive strength upgrades installed.
No sweat puddles. No screaming coaches. Just results I didn’t have to suffer for.
😠 Why I’m Lowkey Mad It Worked
Because I’ve tortured myself with HIIT workouts.
I’ve done burpees at 6 a.m. like a maniac.
And yet here I am, seeing toning and strength gains from lazy moves I could do in bed.
I’ve been lied to. This was the real scam all along.
🧠 FAQ: Lazy Girl Edition
Q: Is it actually effective?
A: Yes — especially if you’re starting from zero or just want to stay consistent without burning out.
Q: Do I need equipment?
A: Nope. Just your body, the floor, and maybe a blanket you pretend is a yoga mat.
Q: Can it replace a full workout routine?
A: Depends on your goals. For basic strength, mobility, and habit-building? Totally. For intense gains or weight loss? You might want to mix it with something sweatier.
Q: Who is this good for?
A: Beginners, people who hate traditional workouts, those with limited mobility, or anyone who wants to move more without rage crying.
So yeah… I’m still a lazy girl. But now I’m a toned, less achy, slightly smug lazy girl.
And honestly? That’s the kind of fitness glow-up I can live with.
