You know how important exercise is for your body. Sitting all day can up your risk of type 2 diabetes, heart disease and obesity. The only way to negate the effects of sitting eight hours a day is an hour of exercise. But are you too lazy to make an effort? Trust us when we say that any time you can find during the day to get some sweat on is a bonus. We have rounded up a list of yoga moves that you can do while catching up on your Netflix queues.

1. Baby Cobra Pose

Lie on your stomach and place your hands right next to your body. Press the top of your hands and feet onto the floor and lift your upper body. Keep the elbows beside your body and hold the pose for 30 seconds, so you don't miss your favourite action scene on the television.
