Daily exercises are beneficial in many different ways. Any type of physical activity helps to ward off illness and disease. Exercise helps to shed excess pounds and improve your mood. Doing exercises in bed is a good way to start your day. Exercise increases your energy and is a great start to your morning. If you are not a morning person, adding some simple exercises to your morning routine while still in bed can help to jump-start your day.
Step 1
Stretch your muscles all over. Reach your arms over your head and stretch your toes. After your body has been inactive all night, a full-body stretch is a good way to wake up and get your body moving.
Step 2
Bring your knee up to your chest while laying flat on your back in bed. Hold your knee for a few deep breaths and then switch to the other side. Repeat three to five times to loosen your joints.
Step 3
Lie on your stomach and complete an up-dog pose. Stretch your arms out with your hands pressed into your bed. Lift up your upper body and look at the ceiling. Hold the pose for a few deep breaths to stretch out your back muscles.
Step 4
Sit up and spread your legs wide. Lift your arms high up in the air while inhaling. Exhale and lean your body over your right leg. Reach your arms to your toes. Hold the pose for three deep breaths. Repeat the pose again in the center and over your left leg.
Step 5
Work your abdomen muscles by performing bicycle kicks while in bed. Lie flat on your back in bed with your legs outstretched. Lace your fingers behind your neck and lift your upper body slightly off the bed. Bend one knee and bring it in to your chest. Turn your body so that the opposite elbow touches the bent knee. Repeat on other side. Complete 10 sets.
Step 6
Lie on your side with one arm outstretched above your head. The other arm can lie on your hip or at your side. Lift your top leg as high as you can and lower it down slowly. Repeat 10 times. Flip onto your other side to work the other leg.
Step 7
Complete leg lifts while on your back. Lift your right leg straight up as high as you can. Hold for a breath and lower slowly. Repeat 10 times on each side.
Step 8
Lie on your back in bed. Bend your knees and bring your feet as close to your buttocks as possible. Leave your hands by your side. Lift your pelvis up to the ceiling to do a bridge. Hold the pose for a breath and slowly lower back down. Repeat five times.
