Exercises I can do on my bed?

edited October 2024 in Fitness and Exercise
So I live in a college dorm room and there isn't much room to move around. I would exercise in my kitchen, but my roommate is here right now, and that would be awkward. Other than doing sit-ups, what else can I do?

    I know a few, but they require a "spotter."

    I use to do situps - even if its 20-30 on the edge of your bed. Even lay on the floor with your legs on your bed and crunch away!

    If you're looking for a pretty much full body move, I suggest burpees!

    Squats, pushups, lunges, planks - get a set of 5, 8, & 10 pound dumbbells and you can do a whole bunch of upper body workouts that you can do on your bed or standing in one place.

    That is what prompted me to check out this thread.

    Burpees!!! Best exercise to hit everything and get that cardio in.

    Ya I was going to take to there but I opted not too.
    Invest in some resistance bands and/or a medicine ball;
    bicycle or scissor kicks, sit-ups, push-ups, body weight squats, run the stairs in the dorm building, Russian twists. There is so much that can be done.

    I'm shocked if your college doesn't have a gym/workout room.

    Lol, since people already thought of a lot of both.fun and effective things, I'll only add resistance bands be very useful. Just be careful not to let them slip and hit you.... Its painful.

    I think you might want to screen your partners a little more carefully.
