Hoop - an effective tool for losing weight
The perfect waist workout is always rightfullyexercises with a hoop were considered. Firstly, many muscles work, which are trained when performing only one single exercise. Secondly, the hoop has a beneficial effect on the body, improving blood circulation, as a result of which the weight loss process accelerates.

How to vary the exercises for the press
Surely, you are convinced that you know everything aboutthis exercise, but still it is worth double-checking your knowledge. You are mistaken if you think that intensively performing abdominal exercises will make your waist more attractive. Everything is quite the opposite, the waist will become wider due to the increased muscle mass. What to do? To avoid such an undesirable result, it is necessary to perform not strength exercises, but aerobic ones. That is, you need to avoid a large amplitude and increase the number of repetitions of approaches. For example, if you do a regular abdominal exercise (lying on your back, pull your body to your knees), then you only need to slightly lift your back off the floor. Moreover, you need to repeat at least 30 times in 3 approaches. And, of course, you also need to work out the lateral and back muscles. Such exercises are also very important for the waist and abs. In order to achieve the desired effect, do not just do the classic abdominal exercise, but try to diversify it a little. Raise the body not only straight, but also alternately to one and the other knee. Back extensions are also useful for the waist. Lie on your stomach and try to arch your back as far as possible. Repeat several approaches in different directions.
Helpful Tips
- All exercises must be performed in three ten-minute approaches, with a break of 1-2 minutes;
- During the first week of training, beginners are advised to perform only one approach, gradually increasing the load;
- If the training has gone right, then you will feel pleasant fatigue, which occurs under the influence of lactic acid released from the muscles;
- If you are too tired, then most likely you need to reduce the load;
- Lack of fatigue only says that training is not too intense and you need to increase the load;
- It is desirable to conduct training in the evening, whenthe body is relaxed and warmed up. Classes in the morning are not recommended. The body has not yet woken up, and exercise will be too heavy for him. Do not also do the exercises abruptly or overly vigorously.
Remember one important rule:Abdominal and waist training alone will not lead to anything. In order for the positive effect to not take long to come, be sure to review your diet. Try to eat less flour and sweets, avoid eating too fatty, spicy and high-calorie foods. Over time, you will get used to the new lifestyle and will no longer be able to imagine yourself without daily training, and buns and candies will fade into the background. And only then will you understand that looking attractive is not difficult at all! You just need to set a goal and go towards it to the bitter end. We recommend reading:
