A barrel waist? An elephant hip? Carrot legs? Cauliflower calves? Oh my god!? Not only can I not wear cute short skirts, but even walking feels like a struggle, like a hippopotamus! And you'll be the butt of jokes from friends and colleagues. They'll constantly hurl insults at you during casual conversations. Can you really just pretend you don't see them? Below is a healthy and easy one-week weight loss plan designed for busy office workers, allowing you to sculpt a graceful lower body while enjoying fun workouts!
Two tricks to create a sexy waist
Step 1: Open your feet, inhale and raise your arms to horizontal, exhale, relax your shoulders, and turn your palms downward. Look straight ahead.
Step Two: Take a deep breath, and as you exhale, relax your right upper body and bend it horizontally to the side. Be careful not to lean forward or arch your back; instead, feel your body pressed against a wall, with your shoulders as open as possible in a planar side bend. Feel the stretch in your left side. Reach a comfortable position; don't force yourself to reach the instructor's level immediately. Hold for 15 seconds, then return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.
Friendly reminder: 4 sets/day. Avoid swaying your hips when bending over. If possible, after practicing for a while, try holding your ankles with your hands and holding the position for 30 seconds before returning to a standing position.
Two simple exercises to slim your hips
Many women are troubled by their large or overly protruding buttocks. The ideal buttock shape is characterized by muscle at the top and no excess fat down to the thighs, forming a beautiful curve. A slightly perky buttock is even better.
Step 1: Lie face down, bend your arms to support your head, and straighten your toes.
Step 2: Using your glutes, exhale and lift one leg as high as possible, keeping the leg straight. Hold for 1 second. Return to step 1 and repeat with the other leg. Alternate legs and do 15-20 repetitions.
Friendly reminder: Do not force yourself to twist your hips or lift your leg, as this may cause lower back pain and will not achieve the desired exercise effect. Contract your abdominal muscles simultaneously when lifting your leg.
Belly dancing helps reduce belly fat
If you want to lose belly fat, belly dancing is a good choice. The movements designed for belly dancing mainly involve shaking, belly undulation, and hip twisting, which are particularly effective for reducing belly fat.
Movement: Move your body in a circular motion, with your hips moving from back to front, using your hips to drive the movement of your waist and abdomen, and also engaging your chest. Perform the movement as far as you can comfortably manage. This exercise works the upper and lower abs. Do 38 repetitions.
Friendly reminder: Be sure to wait at least one hour after meals before practicing belly dancing, and it's best to practice barefoot for better results.
Slim your legs by doing ballet!
Action: Raise one leg forward to a 90-degree angle, pointing your toes, then slowly move it to the side. Do 20 repetitions for each leg. Consistent practice of this exercise can slim your legs and create a more balanced figure. This is a common movement for ballet dancers. In addition, there are some other leg-slimming exercises suitable for practice during the National Day holiday. Stand upright with your hands at your sides. Bend your knees and touch your toes with your hands. The key is to bend only your knees, not your back muscles. Then gently return to the starting position.
