Exercise requires the right gear, the right clothes, a gym membership, and a trip to get to the gym. It almost seems like it takes more effort to get started than it does when you’re actually exercising. What if you could skip all of that and just get to the important part?
Try these 13 light fat burning exercise that you don’t even have to roll out of bed to do.

Go onto your knees making sure to keep your back straight, then lift a leg to the side as high as you can and try to keep it at a 90 angle. Lower your leg back to the starting position, repeat 10 times, and then do the exact same movement and repetition with the other leg.
#2 Superman
Lay on your stomach and extend both arms in front of you, stretch your arms as far as you can manage while making sure your elbows are slightly straight. Lift your arms and legs off the ground and pause. Once you’re done, go back to the original position and repeat.
