Personal trainer Erika Taylor reveals how to work out without leaving your bed
I’m a personal trainer and this is how I work out without getting out of bed
Going to the gym in the morning can be a struggle for many people who prefer to enjoy the comfort of their nice warm bed.
But now a personal trainer has revealed the way to work your glutes without leaving your bed.
Erika Taylor, from the US, shared the three easy exercises to get a perfect perky butt.
She goes to TikTok and starts with a side leg lift.
Lying on her side with her legs straight, she slowly raises her leg and then lowers it for 60 seconds before flipping over and doing the same on the other side.

Then she tries leg raises.
She lies on her stomach and raises and lowers each leg for a total of 60 seconds before resting.
Finally, Erika does glute bridges for 60 seconds, where you lie on your back with your knees bent before slowly lifting and lowering your buttocks.
Erika’s followers were quick to praise the easy workout, and many loved that they didn’t have to get out of bed.
“I like that the workout is in bed! My favorite place, thanks girl, I’m working out every day now,” one said.
“Hahaha, love it,” wrote another.
“Finally,” commented a third.

Erika’s advice comes after a personal trainer shared her simple trick for banishing love handles — and it all boils down to a 15-minute workout you can do at home.
Rachael Attard, a Queensland sports scientist, specializes in women’s bodies and is known for her lean legs programs.
And her 15 minute love handles training is one of the most requested by clients to date and includes side plank lifts, lying triple taps, donkey kick extensions, side leg lifts, and inside and outside leg blasts.
“Complete each exercise for 45 seconds without rest. And do all the exercises on one leg in front of the other,” she said in a Pilates-style demonstrative video while wearing ankle weights.
“Do two to three rounds.”

She also added that the secret to getting love handles is reducing body fat in general through diet and lower stress and cortisol levels; the latter creates fat storage on your hips.
“Resistance exercises are important because the more muscle you have, the easier it will be to lose weight and slim your midsection,” said Rachael.
Following a healthy diet is key. Rachael’s standing rule is to eat plenty of vegetables, fruit two to three times a day, lean protein, good fats, and whole-grain carbohydrates in moderation.
“You also need to think about how much you eat. If your body only needs 1500 calories a day and you eat 2000 calories a day, it doesn’t matter if those 2000 calories are all clean and healthy. You’ll still gain weight,” she added.
