Couch Potato Workout

Couch Potato Workout

17 May 2022 by Ted Escobedo   2 min read

The heat is coming fast, and you may be more tempted than ever to settle in and binge watch a show. But that doesn’t mean you can’t exercise. Rest assured, there is a workout for you.The ‘couch potato’ workout is one you can do from the comfort of your couch. You can even squeeze it in during the commercial breaks or between episodes.

One couch potato exercise is sitting-to-standing. During this exercise, you repeatedly stand up from the couch, then sit back down again. It helps build your butt and thigh muscles and can get your heart rate up, depending on how quickly you stand and sit.

You can also do triceps dips. If you have one, push the coffee table out of the way. Scooch forward on the couch so your butt is barely in contact with the edge. Put your hands on the edge of the couch on either side of your body, then push yourself up from the edge. Lower your body down toward the floor, then lift again using your arms. Repeat.
