My ‘lazy girl’ workout is great when you don’t want to go to the gym – and you can find creative substitutes for weights
SKIPPING the gym doesn’t have to mean you can’t get a quick workout in.
A content creator shared her “lazy girl” exercise routine for the days when you’re not feeling motivated.
In her video, TikTok user Laurence Dionne (@laudooo12) explained: “Today was not the day, I just didn’t want to go to the gym but I still wanted to move a little.
“So, here’s a little low-impact workout for my lazy girlies out there,” she wrote in the caption.
The TikToker began her upper body workout with a five to 10 minute workout.
For her first exercise, Laurence did three sets of 10 reps of dumbbell rows.
She then moved on to three sets of 10 lateral exercises, straight-arm lifting the dumbbells up to her sides.
Next, the fitness fanatic did three sets of 10 reps of resistance band outward pushes.
Stretching her arms in front of her, Laurence placed a resistance band around them and pushed them outwards.
The TikToker carried out a similar exercise with her arms raised above her head.
Next, Laurence did high plank shoulder taps for a period of 30 seconds.
She also recommended doing a dumbbell plank row for 30 seconds followed by 30 more seconds of a high plank.
Next, Laurence advised doing 50 dead bug reps and 30 seconds of a plank twist.
She also demonstrated a creative solution for lifting weights with no dumbbells,
Lifting her cat directly above her head, Laurence joked: “No dumbbells? Use anything you can find.”
