I’ve recently been quite depressed, my medication isn’t working as well as it used to, and I can’t seem to pull myself out of bed, so I’ll take my weights from the floor and lift in bed; is that bad?
Just bear in mind that lifting weights produces muscle rather than burning fat. It’s still a very healthy activity, but it can conceal some scale fat reduction as muscle arrives and fat disappears.
It is not ideal for preparing the bed for sleep. However, it appears to be only temporary! I am delighted you are relocating, and I hope you feel better soon!
It’s probably time to go back to your doctor and fine-tune your antidepressant medication. Once that’s done, going outside burns more fat than lifting weights.
As others have stated, anything is always preferable to nothing; the fact that you are motivated to do so is extremely beneficial and can only lead to further positive (little) steps! Well done.
Just be mindful of form; the fact that the mattresses will shift about may cause the weights to follow a different path throughout reps.
Listen to your body; nagging pain is an indication that something isn’t operating properly.
Good for you! Keep it up.
Whatever motivates you to stretch, engage your muscles, and feel more connected to your body during deep periods of depression is sufficient.
Do you have difficulties falling or staying asleep? Then a big no. You associate the bed with attentiveness, exertion, increased adrenaline, body temperature, and heart rate. Anything but the tranquil environment necessary for sleep.
If you sleep well… I would still mostly answer no. My primary concern would be hygiene. I don’t know about you, but I sweat while exercising. Depending on the exercise, I sweat profusely. Even if you have a fair timetable for washing your bedding, it does not account for exercise; you would have to wash considerably more frequently. I mean, my exercise clothes go in the hamper after my daily workout, and I’d want to do the same with the mattress if I were sweating that much.
It’s best to do it in Matt on a flat, steady surface. To avoid injury while working out, make sure your body is in the ideal position and posture. Because of the softness and bounce effect, it will modify your position when you move in bed, potentially straining your back. Remember to keep your back in the correct position when completing abdominal exercises, because your back muscles are also contracting to hold and support your body.
Yes, it hurts to conduct abdominal workouts on the floor or any hard surface.
Doing it in bed is also a bad idea.You don’t feel anything at your core. Please don’t do that; it’s a waste of time.
Purchase an exercise/yoga mat (available online), which is perfect for ab workouts. It does not harm your back.
The mat is highly compatible. We can bring it anyplace.
Typically, I prefer a level surface with some support but not so much support that you sink into it like a mattress. If you do not have a mat and cannot afford to get one, try doing sit-ups on your most comfortable floor at home. If you experience any pain, stop. As a last resort, you can perform sit-ups on a bed, but this is not the ideal situation. If you are in such scenario, do your best with what you have and avoid making excuses. I have free workout videos on my YouTube channel, Athletes Ability, but no pressure. If you have any further questions, please send me a message; I am available to assist.
Personally, I prefer doing deep stretches before bedtime. It’s best to do them on solid ground, although they also work in bed. It deeply relaxes the body and prepares you for sleep.
Beds are typically too soft to adequately support your back during ab workouts. Also, it’s definitely a good idea to rule out any disc injuries that could be causing your back problems.
Regarding the workout, have you tried placing your hands behind your glutes or the small of your back, palms facing down? This will ensure that your lower back remains in contact with a floor mat during the workout.
Exercising is not awful at all, but you can’t do it all in bed. You need a rough surface. You can do an abs workout in bed, but I still recommend performing a complete workout. Based on your questions, you are either joking or too lazy to train.
Most mornings, I try to do a few modest sit-ups while lying in bed. Coming up a few inches. This significantly improves my core strength. It takes from 30 seconds to a minute, depending on how many I do.
You will not profit from completing an ab workout on a bed. However, you can undertake ab workouts that do not require you to sit up. You can do bicycles, hanging leg raises, and crunches on a ball or a bosu. Many different ways to work your abs.
