This week’s Lazy Girl Fitness Routine is all about how to get fit while reading a book or magazine. The exercises we are covering will work your thighs, quads and your butt.
1. Leg Raises – Sit with your back up against a wall, bend one knee into your chest. With the other leg lift it up and down 20 times on each leg.
2- Side Lifts – Lay on your side, and start to lift your leg, start with 10 low lifts, 10 middle lifts and then 10 high lifts. Don’t forget to switch sides!
3- Butt Lifts! Lay your magazine or book flat and lift your leg up. Do 15 with a bent leg and 15 with a straight leg, then switch. Make sure your lifting only to horizontal and your squeezing your tush as well!
Really good ideas! I don’t know why I never thought of this. Thanks!
Thanks Sarah!!! I love reading your comments everyday!
I admit in part I comment so often because I subscribed to e-mail so this blog is one I don’t accidentally miss posts of, haha. But I do like your blog format and that it’s not always the same subject. I wonder why more people don’t cover a variety of topics?
I think people don’t cover the topics because it’s not “in”… I don’t care, I cover whatever I have an opinion on (hehe which is everything!!)
Fun tips! My typical reading position is on the couch legs out, leaning against pillows. so my exercise is doing bicycle movements with my legs every once in a while to get movement in!
Also, as a New Yorker myself, I’m surprised to see a Vegas girl is a Giants fan? Did you grow up in NY too? Go Giants
Mila – I LOVE the Giants! I’m a transplant fan, my grandpa used to watch New York Teams so it stuck with me. I’m a Giants and Yankees fan.
that’s cool! nothing wrong with transplant fans, it’s nice if it gets passed by generations, esp cuz it’s NY
Hi there you are just what I’ve been looking for. With all the best intentions I just can’t stick To an exercise routine. So I was wondering do you mail people with few excersises every day?

I. freaking. love. you!!!!!
Why am I just now finding your blog?!
Well I am glad you now have found my blog. Welcome to being lazy!
I feel like there’s no way I’d be able to concentrate on the book while doing these things (I have pretty severe ADHD), but I am going to give it a go! Thanks for the tips!
You are brilliant. Seriously. This will change my life. If I do it. At least I can’t play the “time” card as an excuse anymore.
