Jump:

  • in place;
  • on one leg, alternately every 10 jumps, alternately, and so on;
  • in two passes and bounce.

For beginners, 1-2 minutes is enough to jump. If the weight is high, do not overwork - take other complexes. And return to jumping after relative weight normalization. Running helps strengthen muscles, gives the legs a sporty, harmonious look. Daily running trains endurance and helps burn fat in other areas. Exercising on simulators is almost the same as running on a sports field, but it is healthier to breathe fresh air at the same time. Feel free to go to the park or the stadium.

Stepper

Great way to move with the imitation of walking up the stairs. The stepper gives the legs the same load as when climbing high floors without an elevator (which, by the way, can also be used). A lot of calories are consumed at the same time, a stepper is designed for that.

Leg weight loss exercises

Almost every woman has problem areas. We are constantly tormented by cellulite or sagging skin. It only takes a little gain, and a treacherous pile of fat appears on the inside of the thigh. This is quite understandable from the point of view of physiology - after all, the inner sides of the thighs are practically not used when walking. Exercises for weight loss on the legs are often called exercises on the inside of the thighs. Before starting the lesson, you need to warm up to prepare the underdeveloped muscles. You can report a few turns of the torso and head, bends, strides on each leg. Stretch the ribs of the foot for about 3 minutes.

Exercises for the inner thigh

  1. Weight loss exercises on the legs will soon make the inner side of the thighs slimmer. Stand up straight, straighten your shoulders, put your hands on your waist. The legs should be shoulder-width apart. The weight is transferred to the left leg. Turn your right foot with your toe towards you and make movements towards your left foot 15-20 times. After changing legs, repeat the exercise.

Weight loss exercises for the thighs

Squats near the wall

Stand against the wall and press it all over the wall surface. Pay attention to posture.

Side exercises for weight loss

Excess fat on the side makes our waist far from ideal.

If you add proper breathing to this (lifting the torso, inhaling, returning - exhaling), the effect will be even greater. You can raise your shoulders and whole torso.

Weight loss exercises

If the arm muscles are flabby and have no tone, it looks very ugly. Exercises should be performed three times a week, taking care not to overload the spine with excessive stress. Tighten the abdominal muscles by gently bending the legs to avoid stretching the ligaments below the knees. At the beginning of the training, the arms should be prepared by a small warm-up to make the muscles more flexible towards the load.

  • Put your hands on your belt, spread them in different directions. Next, the previous position - and the same movement left, then right. Near the sofa or chair, lie on the floor and raise your legs, placing them on a raised platform. Do push-ups, staying in the lowest position for a short time. (20-30 times).
  • Legs shoulder-width apart or wider, arms at the sides. Make circular movements with your hands back and forth, 8 times.

Press 10 times up. Also push yourself away from the wall, then squat and rest your palms on the chair. Do push-ups 10 times.

Butt weight loss exercises

A woman's body and build are very different from a man's, so training must be planned in a certain way. In general, the formation of the female body occurs under the influence of the female hormone estrogen. The pear shape involves the deposition of fat on the thighs and buttocks, while 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 3-4 hours a week for 1 hour, the muscles will tighten in a month.

  1. Sitting on the floor, we stretch our legs forward, keeping our backs straight. With the help of muscles, start moving back and forth for 2-4 minutes.
  2. Lean your knees on the floor, spread your arms parallel to the floor. Alternately lower your buttocks to the floor, to the right and left of your feet. 20 times to the left and the same amount to the right.
  3. We draw eight with our hips for 3-4 minutes while standing.
  4. We put our hands down, standing upright. Lift the knee up, tighten it for 5-7 seconds, return to the main position. Also left foot (12-15 times).
  5. In the same starting position, squat, stretching your arms forward (20 times).
  6. On the knees with an emphasis on the arms, we perform another effective exercise. The leg bent at the knee is pressed to the chest and then straightened backwards. At the same time, body weight is evenly distributed. Perform this exercise rhythmically 10-12 times for each leg.

In addition to these exercises, aerobic exercises, running, walking, cycling give a great effect. The lower muscles work best if you do the exercises slightly leaning forward. Leaning, lower muscles work better, and at the same time they burn more calories. Remember that self-control is the main driver of training success. You have to control the body, not you. Set aside 1 hour several times a week and your body will become docile and beautiful.
