I particularly felt good this week after some intense training on my back muscles and abs. My back and stomach aches but it felt good. And I did not even need to step out of my room to achieve this. All I needed was just a double decker bed for training.

Recently, I had to get a bed so that my cousin can share the room with me so the ideal choice would be a double decker bed so that my room will have more space left.

Exercises you can do on your double decker bed

But what an unexpected use for the bed. It will no longer just be a bed to me. In my eyes, it has become an important morning exercise machine for me.

Let me share what are some of the exercises can be done using the bed.

1 – Crunches for upper abs

This is easy. You should know what and how to execute crunches. Only difference is that you do it on your bed. I will execute around 50 to 100 repetitions per time.

2 – Leg ups for lower abs

Sit on the edge of your bed. Then slowly lift your legs up, and feel the strain in your lower abs. Do around 50 to 100 repetitions as well.

3 – Pull up with palms facing out, sitting on the bed

For this exercise. I will sit, with legs tuck in, facing the wall, on the lower bed. Next, grab the bottom of the upper deck bed, palms facing outwards, and start pulling yourself up the upper bed. It is like pull ups with assistance. Since you are not using your full body weight, if you want to really feel the strain, do each repetition slowly. Pulling yourself up slowly and going down slowly as well. This exercise is great for anyone who just started training.

4 – Pull up with palms facing out, with chair to support your legs so that it will look like you are doing push ups upside down.

For this, I will sit facing the opposite side of the lower deck bed. Grab a chair near you so that you can rest your legs on it. Same thing, grab the bottom of the upper deck bed, but this time with palms facing you. And then lift your butt up so that it resembles you doing push ups upside down. And start pulling yourself towards the upper deck of the bed. For maximum effect, you can do it as slow as you want.

5 – Push ups with legs on the edge of the bed

The final exercise needs no introduction. Just get into a push up position, with your hands on the floor but legs should be on the edge of the lower deck bed. And just go ahead and start training.

Hope you can find these 5 ways to exercise on your double decker bed an effective exercise machine and not just a bed.
