Exercise tips for lazy people

There are two kinds of people in this world. Those who enjoy exercising and don't find it a chore in their routine. Then there's us, (I'm going to assume if your reading this we are both as lazy as each other). The ones who can't even fathom that two minute walk to the corner shop or to the kitchen. The ones who don't feel any guilt by skipping that work out for a cozy date with netflix.

Over the years I've learnt that when I'm dieting, I don't really need to go to the gym. Don't get me wrong I'm completely aware that my results would be much better if I actually did a proper workout every now and then! But these simple little life changes mean that I can't still enjoy binge watching netflix and loose weight all in one go.

Before we get into this, I need you all to promise me you won't waste your money on home/gym equipment. You may think you'll use it every day but you won't. I've had an exercise bike for almost 5 years now. I've used it less than ten times. Just don't do it!

So my fellow lazy humans... give these few small changes a chance! You probably some of them already anyway.


Walk everywhere.
Living in a city really helps with this, but there are so many ways you can add extra walks into your routine. If you use the bus... just get up a couple of stops before you usually would. If you have a car, use it to your advantage drive to the middle or nowhere or a big ass park and go for an adventure.

Fidget.
It burns calories, end of.

Learn to be cold.
The colder you are the harder your body has to work to keep you warm. Easiest but not the most comfy way to burn extra calories.

Take the stairs, every time.
It may be a myth that stairs are the secret to a perfect bum but when your at the bottom of of a staircase, imagine that amazing bum you're going to have!

Workout Dvds are a gift from god!
I know that technically this counts as a proper work out but only if you do the whole dvd! Most of them have sections you can pick and choose from. Just make sure you do the warm up and cool down sections or, you know, just those two. If you're feeling really lazy.

Don't let that skipping rope go to waste!
It was fun when we were nine! Why can't it be fun now!

Remember the gym is all around you.
cliché, but you can turn anything into a exercise tool and anywhere can be your gym. You've got the widely known cans as weights but you really can exercise anywhere. I have a friend who used to do 5 squats every time she  went to the toilet and had the bum everyone wants. Or you know, you could just go to the club and do extra slut drops.


Before y'all start shouting at me, if you already do all these and your a lazy bum, I'm sorry but you my friend are gonna have to suck it up and part with your laptop.

Until next time.

My top 10 picks on Netflix.

As a Christmas present to the house I signed up to Netflix and I definitely don't regret it. My poor laptop hasn't been turned off since!! Netflix isn't hard to navigate but sometimes I find myself scrolling though the endless lists of tv shows and movies not fancying anything.

So, not in any particular order here are my current top 10 pick for Netflix February 2015.

1: Grimm.
If you like a good supernatural series this has everything apart from vampires (yet). It's so refreshing to find a supernatural show that doesn't focus on the undead these days. This show is sort of a mixture of Buffy and CSI.

2: Orange is the new black.
Everyone will have recommended this Netflix original but it's definitely worth watching! I finished both seasons in less than 2 weeks.

3: All the Disney movies.
I know this is a bit of a cop out but if I listed all the Disney films on Netflix they would fill this entire list. There are so many on there at the moment, Hercules, Mulan, Aladdin, Pocahontas and soooo many more. If your a Disney junkie Netflix is the place to be.

4: Carrie, original and remake.
Netflix doesn't have the best selection of horror films, out of all of them I recommend the recent Carrie revamp. If you haven't seen the original watch it first, but for a remake I really enjoyed this one.

5: Buffy the Vampire Slayer
This is my favourite tv show of all time, even though I own the box set it's always helpful to be able to watch it on the go. I've lost count how many time I've re-watched this series. It's nice to see a classic on there.

6: Greek.
I had seen this before but never really got into, after giving it another go I can't stop watching. It's not really for everyone, following the lives of two college students trying to navigate the bitchy world of the greek system. Pretty much all of the plot lines are a tad far fetched but that's what makes it funny.

7: The sweetest thing.
The chick flick for girls who hate chick flicks! If this is you and you haven't seen it, you need to! Otherwise you will never know the joys of Cameron Diaz's hilarious dancing during the best musical number ever. If you do fancy a proper chick flick Netflix also has the classics like clueless and 10 things I hate about you.

8: Never back down.
This is one for those couples that can never agree on a movie. It has all the testosterone to satisfy the boyf and so many topless men any girl would be happy to sit through this movie.

9: The Hobbit series.
Obviously they don't have the most recent release yet, but if you fancy a Tolkien marathon, it's right there at the click of a button.

10: The Undateables.
Best reality dating show ever.
I love this so much, it's so nice to see that there really is someone for everyone.

Until next time.
