Things You'll Need:
- 1 pound or 2 pound hand weights
-
Step 1
Exercise your arms. While driving or riding, you can exercise your arms. The arm rests or the console in between your two front seats are perfect places to prop your arm for this exercise but, if not, set something next to you that will bring your elbow up to a comfortable height. Using a one- or two-pound weight, do a set of 20 arm curls with each arm. (Your door handle makes a good prop for the other arm.)
-
Step 2
Work your rear. Since you are sitting, here is a great way to firm your rear end. Simply squeeze your gluteus maximus muscles and hold for at least five seconds, completing at least 20 sets.
-
Step 3
Do mock sit-ups. Sit ups in the car while driving? Not exactly, but this version of a "sit up" will be effective to help in toning your abs. Suck in your tummy, tighten your ab muscles, sit up straight and tall and slightly rock back and forth at least 25 times.
-
Step 4
Do leg lifts. Legs lifts can only be done in the car if you are a passenger. If you are a driver, do not attempt to do this exercise unless you are parked or if you are waiting in traffic. Tighten your gluteus maximus muscle and lift your leg or at least lift your thigh. Do this set of exercises 20 times for each leg.
-
Step 5
Do twists. Twist your upper body and hold for at least five seconds in each direction. This exercise will help tone your sides and will also provide a relief to your back if you have been driving for a while.
