doing exercises to lose weight on the abdomen and sides

Being overweight is a common and painful problem. Diets alone are not enough here - there are certain exercises that you absolutely must perform in order to lose weight. Every organism is individual. To correct your figure, you need to establish a specific program for you, in which you focus on the most problematic areas. Study a few rules carefully and if you are ready to follow them, it is safe to plan your workouts.

  1. Pay attention to your daily menu. The effectiveness of training will be higher if you approach the problem holistically. We burn calories through exercise and break down fat, but if more and more calories come in, losing weight will be a pipe dream. Meals should be well balanced, but without frills.
  2. The number of workouts per week is 2 to 4 times from 30 minutes.
  3. Watch your breathing. Exercise should be so stressful that breathing quickens and your heart rate increases - it's a prerequisite for burning fat.
  4. Weigh yourself before you start your workout and measure your weight 2-3 times a week.
  5. Do not force events so that the weight drops evenly and the result has time to gain a foothold. Remember - not fanaticism, but regularity!
  6. In order not to spoil your posture, alternate exercises for the abdomen, arms, legs, sides, etc.

It is advisable not to eat for 1 to 2 hours before and after training. It is not worth exercising before bed, it is better to choose a time in the morning or in the middle of the day.

And return to the jump rope after a relative normalization of the weight. Running strengthens the muscles, gives the legs a sporty and harmonious appearance. Daily jogging trains endurance and helps burn fat in other areas. Exercising on simulators is almost the same as running on a sports field, but it's healthier to breathe fresh air at the same time.

Exercises to slim the buttocks

A woman's body and structure is very different from that of a man, therefore, training should be planned in a certain way. In general, the formation of a female body type occurs under the influence of the female hormone estrogen. The pear shape involves the deposition of fat on the thighs and buttocks, while the fat deposits are simply necessary to participate in the reproduction of the body. It is quite difficult to correct their shape. If you regularly perform 3 to 4 workouts per week for 1 hour, the muscles will contract in a month.

  1. Sitting on the floor, we extend our legs forward, keep our back straight. With the help of your muscles, begin to move back and forth for 2 to 4 minutes.

Take 1 hour several times a week, and your body will become obedient and beautiful.
