Having a slim body is not an easy task for people who have excess fat. There are two essential things that you should follow in this case and that is proper diet and an exercising program. Many people even though want to improve their body they can not take the first step.
That is because the beginning is the hardest, same for the diet and the exercising as well. What you need to do in the first few days is to develop a routine where your body will be prepared when the time for exercising will come.
In today’s article, we present to you some of the best exercises to sculpt your body. Practice these exercises for 5 days a week and after 2 months you won’t be able to recognize your body.
1. Push-ups
Start on your hands and knees with your hands underneath your shoulders. Then come onto the balls of your feet and the heels of your hands, and then walk the feet back until you are in the plank position. Bend your elbows, lowering your body down. Then slowly push yourself back up to the starting position. Repeat it 10 times
2. Crunches
Lay with back on the floor and bend your knees. Keep your arms behind your head and slowly lift your upper torso in the air. Repeat it ten times.
3. Squats
Start with your shoulders wide apart and your legs as well. Keep your back straight as you go down with your butt as you ware sitting. Hold it for a few seconds and then go up in the initial position. Repeat it 20 times.
4. Plank
Planks are the best exercise for the abdominal area. It is very easy and simple. You just need to position yourself in a push-up position with your elbows (at a 90% angle). Make sure your body is in a straight line from toes-to-head.
5. Bicycle Crunches
Place your hands on top of your head and lift your legs up. Move your legs as you are riding a bicycle. Do this as much as you can.
6. Mountain Climber
As you place your arms and feet on the floor, move your legs as you were climbing atop while keeping your hands fixed on the ground. Switch legs and make additional repetitions with the opposite side too. The exercise needs to be performed for a period of 30 seconds per each side;
7. Side Plank
The side plank exercise is a brilliant way to build core strength in a way that targets one of the common weak zones. Try to stay in this body for 20-40 seconds and then you may return your body to the starting position.
8. Straight Leg Raise
Lay down on the ground and place your palms on the floor. After that slowly pull up your legs at a 90 degrees angle. Hold for several seconds and then lower them down without touching the floor and lift them up again. Do it ten times.
