Repeat this exercise for 15 times, and make sure you keep your back straight while executing the workout.

If you’ve ever attended a gym or you’ve just watched any tv show about fitness, then you know there’s a fundamental butt exercise everybody does: the squat. This exercise is a variation of the one leg squat and, yes, you can do it on your couch. Just stand a couple of steps away from the edge of your couch,leaving it behind you, then put one foot on the seat, and while keeping your back straight, start bending the standing knee until you lower your butt at the knee level.

2  Couch Lunges

If the lunge and twist was a bit too much for you, then you can focus on doing a “simple” one leg squat and start programming the next two days of TV, simply because after you do this, you won’t be able to walk for the next 48 hours. Another good excuse to watch TV!Like before, stand a couple of steps away from the edge of the couch, and leave it behind you. Now, put one foot on the cushion,  and while keeping your back straight, start bending the standing knee until you lower your butt at the knee level. Then return at the starting position and repeat 10/15 times per leg.

If your abs are still not satisfied with the previous exercises, then it’s the moment to try the captain’s chair. It’s 30 seconds of pure suspense and pain. For what I can remember, only the last episode of the O.C. gave me the same feelings, so you’re brave if you try.

Sit on the couch with your hands behind your head and start tightening your abs, now raise your legs off the ground and bend your knees as if you’re doing a crunch, but don’t do it. Keep the “as if” position for 30 seconds before exhaling your last breath.
