Reformer exercises are a great way to improve your overall fitness level. However, not everyone has access to a reformer and even if you do, it can be difficult to find the time to make it to a class.

Luckily, there are some bed-friendly reformer exercises that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

1. The Hundred

The Hundred is a classic Pilates move that can be done on a reformer or on a mat. To do it in bed, start by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the bed. Engage your abs and lift your head and shoulders off the bed.

Raise your arms and start pumping them up and down as you inhale for five counts and exhale for five counts. Do a total of ten sets for 100 pumps.

2. Leg Circles

Leg circles are a great way to tone your lower body. Start by lying on your back with your legs extended and your arms by your sides. Lift one leg off the bed and begin rotating it in a clockwise circle.

Do 10 circles and then switch directions for another 10 circles. Repeat with the other leg.

3. Bridging

Bridging is a great way to work your glutes and hamstrings. Start by lying on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the bed. Place your arms by your sides with your palms facing down.

Lift your hips up towards the ceiling and hold for a few seconds before lowering back down to the bed. Repeat for 10-12 reps.

4. Side-Lying Leg Lifts

Side-lying leg lifts are a great way to target your outer thighs. Start by lying on your side with your legs extended. Rest your head on your arm and place your other hand on the bed for support.
