This from Nice News: “The concept has blown up on social media thanks to a content creator named Hope Zuckerbrow. She began posting videos of her early morning workouts in 2022, and they quickly took off. Cozy cardio rejects the idea that exercise has to be vigorous and intense. It involves walking on the treadmill in sweatpants (or even pajamas), lighting a candle, making a cup of tea, putting on your favorite comfort show or movie, and doing whatever else allows you to slow down and simply enjoy the movement.”
I did further research and found the trend does not end Cozy Cardio. Here are some other new takes on exercise enticing people off the couch and into the gym!
- Cheezy Chest Press: No heavy weights required as these are isometric and work off muscle resistance. There are three levels:
Beginner: Over the Shirt
Intermediate: Under the shirt over the bra…Sports bra.
Advanced: Total skin-to-skin contact! May lead to the next exercise, - Takes 2 to Tango Push-Ups: Do I have to spell it out for you?
- Cutsie Curls: Do 3 sets of 10 forearm curls using nerf weights while sipping herbal tea.
- Blissful Burpees: Consume a carbonated drink like a chocolate phosphate, eat a dill pickle and finish up with a bean burrito from Taco Bell.
- Sublime Squats: Typical cool-down from Blissful Burpees.
At last. An exercise program we can all stick with. Enjoy your workout!
