FitnessLazy Girl At-Home Exercises for When You Don’t Want to Workout
Lazy Girl Exercises at home

POV: you promised yourself you’d “totally work out today,” but now you’re horizontal, doom-scrolling, and debating if walking to the fridge counts as steps. (It does. We’re counting it.) But here’s the thing: working out doesn’t have to be sweaty, loud, or involve leaving your house. These at-home lazy girl workouts are designed for days when motivation is at rock bottom and for when you don’t want to exercise but you still want to feel like you did something. Pajamas stay on. Snacks stay nearby. Let’s move… but like, gently.

The Big Morning Stretch

Lazy girl workouts

Stand up, reach your arms overhead, lean to the side, then to the other side. Add a little wiggle, maybe a dramatic sigh for main character energy. This is not a workout; this is a vibe. It’s about waking up your spine, loosening your shoulders, and channeling “I have my life together” energy… even if you definitely don’t.

Lazy Girl Upgrade: If you want to stretch in style, throw on easy movement Leggings. Soft, lightweight, and perfect for stretching without leaving that just-woke-up aesthetic.

Water Bottle Bicep Curls

Lazy girl workouts

Forget fancy dumbbells, your water bottles are now gym equipment. Sit or stand, curl those bottles slowly, and pretend you’re in a fitness montage (but make it aesthetic). The best part? When you’re done, you can unscrew the cap and drink your weights. Hydration + strength training = the ultimate two-for-one deal.

Optional Extra: Pair this with the quick dry Sports Bras so you feel secure and sporty (even if your “gym” is your living room.)

The Snack-Reach Side Stretch

stretches

Sit cross-legged, reach one arm overhead, and lean dramatically to the side like you’re reaching for that last cookie on the top shelf. Hold. Breathe. Switch sides. You’ll feel your sides open up, your posture improve, and your inner lazy girl say, “Wow, we’re so flexible.” Bonus: real snacks after for authenticity.

The Wall Sit of Doom

wall exercises

Slide your back down a wall until you’re in an invisible chair position. Hold it. Smile through the pain. Pretend this is fun. Your thighs will start screaming after 15 seconds, but that just means it’s working. Distract yourself by scrolling reels, singing a song in your head, or contemplating every life decision that led you here. When you finally stand up, you will feel like an Olympic athlete.

The Chill Plank

Lazy Girl Workouts

Lie face down, prop yourself up on your elbows, and hold your body in a straight-ish line. No need to look like a Navy SEAL — this is the “plank but make it cosy” version. When you’re done, flop dramatically onto the bed and celebrate surviving. Core engaged, ego boosted.

Comfy Bonus: Our Capris are perfect for this – Breathable and cropped, so you won’t silently keep questioning your life choices.

The Bridge from Bed

bed exercises

Yes, we’re still in bed, and yes, this counts. Lie on your back, plant your feet, lift your hips, and squeeze your glutes like you’re trying to impress someone. This move works your booty and your core while letting you stay under your blanket. If this isn’t peak efficiency, I don’t know what is.

The Couch Potato Leg Lift

leg lift workouts

You don’t even have to pause your show for this one. Sit on the edge of your couch, straighten one leg, and lift it up and down slowly. Then switch sides. If you want to feel hardcore, put a blanket or pillow over your legs for some extra resistance. Boom -Netflix and gains.

The Last Lazy Thought

See? No gym, no shoes, no problem. These workouts are quick, cosy, and actually doable on your lazy girl days. You might not break a sweat, but you will feel smug about “working out” while staying in full comfort mode.

Try one or two between episodes, or do them all when you’re feeling ambitious (aka once a week). Either way, you’ve officially leveled up from couch potato to slightly active potato and that’s a win.
