The simplest and most effective exercises for slimness

Unfortunately, not every woman has the opportunity to go to the gym or attend sports classes at least a couple of hours a week. But everyone has a few minutes a day that she is ready to devote to her beauty. Let's tell you a secret, even 10 minutes a day spent on physical exercise, just a couple of times a week for a month, will significantly bring your figure closer to ideal. Of course, everything depends on willpower and the desire to be perfect. Proper nutrition also plays an important role in creating a slim figure. But first, seven of the easiest and most basic exercises will be enough to help you keep your whole body in good shape.

Warm-up

For the neck - 10 tilts to the right and left, a semicircle and one full circle in each direction. Let's not throw our heads back! Then make circular movements with your shoulders: 10 times forward and backward. The third step is to warm up your elbow joints. Let's move on to bending, here you can help yourself with your thigh: stretch it in the direction opposite to your hand. Next, make circular movements with the pelvis and knees, also 10 times to the right and left. Lastly, squats. Feet parallel to each other, then place one leg slightly forward. We squat and stretch our arms forward. Now feet inward, and squat again. Repeat with your toes pointing out - this helps warm up the joints in all directions. We also complete the warm-up with squats, but now at the lowest point we stretch both arms to the side.

Plank


This exercise is the most popular among girls who dream of making their body slim and toned.
It effectively works the muscles of the whole body, and also prepares it for subsequent physical activity. The most important rule for him is the precise execution of the technique. The plank perfectly strengthens the muscles of the arms, thighs and abs. We lie down on the floor and focus on our arms bent at the elbows and toes resting on the floor. The back and torso do not sag and form two parallel lines with the floor. To begin with, you need to be in this position for 20 seconds. Then we gradually add time as the body is ready.

Push ups


Push-ups are an integral part of a set of exercises for a beautiful figure. By doing them regularly, you will quickly get your whole body in order. And what is very important for girls, these exercises help tighten the shape of their breasts. We rest our toes and palms on the floor. We slowly lower ourselves until we touch the floor, and then just as smoothly return to the starting position, exhaling. In this case, the back, pelvis and legs should create a straight line.

Before you start doing classic push-ups, try lighter versions.

  • Wall push-ups. The most suitable type for beginner athletes. To perform this, you need to stand a short distance from the wall and rest your outstretched arms against it. Place your hands at shoulder width.
  • Bent over from the bench. At home, use a sofa or bed as support. The main thing is that it is not mobile and stands firmly on the floor. With this exercise, the lower chest muscles are well worked out.
  • From my knees. The body position is the same as for a classic push-up, only the knees are on the floor

Exercise for hips and buttocks


This exercise tightens the shape of the buttocks well and works on the relief of the hips. From a squatting position, lean forward and take a knee-elbow position. First, 10-15 lifts of the right leg are performed, then the left. It is also important to follow the execution technique. The back should be straight without bending, the leg bent at the knee joint should be raised to parallel with the floor, the toe should be directed towards the floor.

Squats

Squats provide the necessary balance for beautifully shaped hips and buttocks. Regardless of what goals you need to achieve (build muscle or, conversely, reduce volume).

Stand in the starting position with your feet shoulder-width apart. The knees remain motionless, the legs are slightly bent. Gently squat until your legs are parallel to the floor.

  • For weight loss. Perform from 3 to 5 approaches 10-15 times. To actively start losing weight, you need to take small weights. Dumbbells or even water bottles are suitable for these purposes. Beginners need to take a weight of 1 kg.
  • To build muscle mass. Repetitions are done for quality, not quantity. Therefore, the exercises are performed in 3 sets of 5-7 times. Slowly and efficiently working through squats.

Ab exercise


Exercises for working the oblique abdominal muscles will help you quickly get your tummy back in shape. From a supine position, clasp your hands behind your head. Raise your right leg, bending the knee, and try to reach it with your left elbow. Then we raise our left leg and reach our right elbow. Repeat 10-15 times.

Cardio exercise


With your hands and feet on the floor, get into a position similar to plank pose. Then bend your right leg at the knee and try to reach your nose with your knee. Now we change legs, stretch our left knee towards our nose. The exercise is performed quickly to create a cardio rhythm. We perform 10-15 times.

Removing the sides

Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart. Hands are clasped behind the head. We raise our legs one by one and try to reach the knee of our right leg to the right elbow, perform the exercise 15 times. And then we repeat the approaches with the knee of the left leg, reaching up to the left knee.

Another very effective exercise for eliminating extra centimeters on the sides is bending to the sides. The whole secret is to, when tilting to the right, place your left hand behind your head and pull it towards the left side, parallel to the floor. Then lean to the left and pull your hand in the same direction, feeling how the lateral abdominal muscles stretch.

Raising the leg up from the side-lying position

A simple but effective exercise for working the muscles of the legs and buttocks. A sure way to get rid of the “breeches” problem area. Lie on your side and stretch your legs. Place one hand on your elbow for support, and place the other on your upper thigh. The entire body should be in the same plane. The elastic should be in the middle of the calf. As you exhale, forcefully lift your upper leg as high as possible, while straining your buttock, and as you inhale, return to the starting position. Try to swing without jerking, feeling the muscles working.

Reps: 20 (each leg). Approach: 3.

Bike

A well-known exercise for slender legs and a toned flat stomach. Lie on your back, raise your upper body and lean on your elbows. Move the elastic band so that it is in the middle of the foot. Pull both knees towards your chest. From this position, straighten your legs alternately. Hold your straight leg suspended above the bed for a couple of seconds, then change. Using band resistance in this exercise will add additional stress to the front and back of your legs. And to “burn” your abs more, clasp your palms behind your head and raise your shoulders so that they are suspended. Maintain the feeling of tense abs as you work your legs.

Reps: 20 (each leg). Approaches: 2−3.

Leg extensions to the sides from a lying position

An exercise for the inner thigh that also affects the abdominal muscles. From a lying position, lift your straight legs up so that they are perpendicular to your body. As you exhale, spread them strictly to the sides, and as you inhale, put them back together, but so that the elastic does not sag. Try to keep your knees straight, do not arch your lower back and spread your legs as wide as possible. To stress your muscles more, use the tightest band possible and pull your feet towards you.

Reps: 25-30. Approaches: 2−3.

Glute bridge with hip extension

A life-saving exercise for girls who want to enlarge their butt, but are afraid to pump up their legs. The bridge has a targeted effect on the muscles of the buttocks, improving their shape and size. Lie on your back, place your arms along your body, legs bent, feet on the bed next to your pelvis. From this position, as you exhale, lift your pelvis as high as possible, pressing your heels into the bed and squeezing your buttocks. At the top point, spread your knees to the sides, forcefully overcoming the resistance of the elastic band. Then bring them back and lower your pelvis.

Reps: 20. Sets: 3.

Chest rows from a sitting position

The exercise allows you to work the latissimus dorsi muscles and improve your posture. Sit on the bed with your back straight, legs stretched out in front of you. Make sure they are straight. Hook the elastic band behind your foot and pull it towards your stomach, moving your elbows back. At the extreme point, try to connect your shoulder blades. To maintain a straight body position and not fall over, bend your other leg and hold on to it with your hand.

Reps: 30. Sets: 2.

Triceps exercise

This is a super exercise that creates a sculpted, toned shape of the arms and gets rid of sagging skin. Bend your legs, sit with your buttocks on your heels and straighten your back. Hold the fitness band in front above your chest with one hand, and bend the other at a right angle, holding the other end of the band. As you exhale, stretch it with effort, straightening your arm at the elbow joint to the end.

Reps: 10-15 (each arm). Approaches: 3.
