Laurel’s new book is OUT y’all! Pick up your copy today!
To celebrate, thought I’d compile a list of my top 7 FAVORITE Quickie Chick workouts in bed! Though I’m a little more intense these days (and the way I train is VERY different) I still use some of these moves occasionally, especially in the morning before I get out of bed. I just love how creative she is and I’ve recommended a few of these exercises to friends who have injuries, are just starting out or who need a dose of fun, fitness motivation.
Admittedly, some of these may look silly, but trust me: they’re effective, fun, fast ways to either wake up a little faster, squeeze in a mini-workout while still in your PJ’s and get closer to your goals without leaving the house.
From Better Sex to Perky Boobs to The Ugliest Workout You’ll Ever Do, here are my top 7 picks for the best Quickies in bed.
Upper body cardio in bed? Yup!
Fun ideas on how to keep fit when your lower body needs you to chill out. The best part? You don’t even need to get out of bed! These are hilarious, fun and effective (it’s short: give it a try if you’re skeptical. I did and my heart rate definitely got a boost). Plus, Laurel’s adorable, as always!
There are truly no excuses. In fact, keeping your workout up, will also help to keep your head up. I have an Upper Body Cardio QuickieWorkout in Bed that I created when I had an ankle injury, but injury or not, it’s a super effective workout- http://quickiechick.com/2012/01/upper-body-cardio-workout-in-bed/

DailyQuickie: Think about where you can engage your abs, butt, and create tension in your arms so that you can slip in a calorie burn in even the most unexpected places… like sex.
Ok, so these moves are a little… or A LOT… crazy, but they are at least entertaining ;) But seriously, you really can turn sex into a workout.
Hotel Room Cardio Quickie
Like Laurel says, this is a fab workout to do first thing in the morning! No thinking required, it’ll get the blood pumping, and you can do it ANYWHERE. 100 seems like a lot, but this is a workout you can get done in about 6-7 minutes (or less.).
DailyQuickie: Get down and give me 100… seconds.
Here’s one of my go-to at home (or on the road) workouts. No gym? Bad weather? No excuse… You can only change with change- be it attitude, habits, or choices. What change are you making to help you get healthier? -xx

In light of our perky boob question earlier today, Laurel reminded us that she already had a great one posted! Wanted to make sure everyone saw it!
Best part? You don’t even have to leave bed to do it! Excuse = busted.

Get your quickie fix with the Quickie Chick on Tumblr if you haven’t followed her already! I mean seriously, I’ve already told ya! Get on it!
