Let’s be honest, ladies — after a long day at work, all we want to do is sink into the sofa and never get up again! But between mojitos, ice creams, and summer treats, we really should keep moving a little every day… So what if I told you that you can get a complete muscle-toning session without leaving your couch… Would you believe it? Well, it’s true! So slip into your workout gear and head to the living room — it’s time to try this fun, energizing couch workout.
How our anti-cellulite couch workout works
This couch workout includes 9 exercises.
For each one, perform 30 reps, then repeat the full routine 2 times if you’re a beginner, or 4 times if you work out regularly.
At the end of your session, don’t forget to adopt the right anti-cellulite habits!
Leg raises
Lie face down on the couch, hands at shoulder level, legs straight.
Slowly lift both legs as high as you can, glutes squeezed, toes pointing toward the ceiling. Keep your entire body engaged and let your lower back arch slightly.
You should feel your muscles working in your glutes and the front of your thighs.
Side leg lifts
Lie on your side, elbow bent and head resting in the palm of your right hand. Keep your legs straight, toes pointed.
Lift your left leg toward the ceiling, keeping your toes pointed and your knee locked. Slowly lower it back to the starting position with control. After 30 reps, switch sides.
Hip abductions
Just like the previous exercise, lie on your side with your head resting in your right palm.
This time, bend your knees. Lift your left knee toward the ceiling, then lower it back down toward your right knee. After 30 lifts, switch to the other side!
Dynamic plank
Get into a plank position with your forearms resting on the couch. Keeping your body fully engaged, shift to the left, then to the right.
Make sure your body stays completely tight throughout — back straight, legs extended.
Perform 15 shifts. This move targets the abs, arms, and back!
The bridge
Lie on your back, arms along your sides, head straight, knees bent. Press your feet firmly into the couch — they’ll be your anchor.
Bring your knees as close to your glutes as possible.
Engage your core, then push through your feet to lift your hips, squeezing your glutes at the top.
Your hips, thighs, and knees should form a straight line. Lower back down to the starting position and repeat.
Scissors
With legs straight, lift them slightly off the floor while engaging your core. Make sure to keep your lower back pressed to the ground to avoid strain.
Hold the position, then cross your legs in a scissor motion — right over left, then left over right — keeping them straight throughout. Return to the starting position.
Push-ups
Lie face down with your chest toward the couch, hands at shoulder level, elbows bent.
Press through your hands to lift your body, balancing on your toes. Arms extended, back straight.
Lower your body back down, elbows flaring outward, then push back up.
Static plank
Get into a plank on your forearms, resting on your elbows and the balls of your feet.
Once in position, squeeze your core as hard as you can and engage your entire body.
The key is to keep your hips level — don’t let them drop or rise too high. Your body should stay as straight as possible, forming a horizontal line.
Hold for 1 minute.
Love handle crunches
Lie on your left side, legs stacked and knees slightly bent.
Place your left hand behind your head. Crunch your left elbow down toward your hip. You’ll feel your obliques working, right around your love handles!
Return to the starting position and repeat. Do one side, then switch.
And that’s a wrap! Now you’ve earned the right to enjoy that couch.
