【6 bedtime exercises to slim down your entire body】
1. Slim down your entire body
Plank: Maintain for 2 minutes
The plank is likely familiar to everyone, but remember two points:
- Keep your back straight to avoid lower back pain.
- Keep your body straight, avoid shrugging your shoulders to prevent the trapezius muscles from bulking up.
This exercise engages and tones muscles throughout the body, especially strengthening the abdominal muscles.
Consistent practice can quickly tighten the abdominal area and define the "V-line".
2. Slim waist and arms
Swan Stretch: Hold for 1 minute on each side
Bend one leg in front and keep it close to the ground, while the other leg stretches straight back, toes touching the ground.
Raise both arms above the head.
This stretch targets muscles throughout the body, especially the sides of the waist and upper arms.
Regular practice will make your waistline clearer and arms slimmer.
3. Slim calves
Downward Dog: Hold for 1 minute
Try to keep your heels on the ground.
If they don't reach at first, bend your knees slightly before pressing them down to feel the stretch in the back of the calves.
This pose not only slims and elongates the calves but also improves blood circulation in the face.
Those with blemishes can benefit from this exercise.
4. Slim the belly
Lion Pose: Maintain for 2 minutes
Keep your arms bent at a 90-degree angle, lifting the upper body off the ground, legs pressed tightly against the yoga mat,
engaging the abdominal muscles.
Avoid shrugging your shoulders, as this can bulk up the trapezius muscles.
This pose effectively targets the waist and abdomen, relieves lower back pain, and opens up the collarbones.
5. Improve the appearance of wide hips
Horse Stance: Hold for 1 minute on each side
Sink the entire pelvis down while feeling the stretch on the outside of the front leg and the front of the back leg.
This exercise effectively improves the appearance of wide hips and is a must for pear-shaped women.
6. Slim shoulders and back
Cat-Cow Stretch: Maintain for 3 minutes
Extend both arms forward as far as possible, with the tops of the feet touching the ground and the thighs perpendicular to the ground.
Shift your body weight backward.
Engage the abdomen while lifting the buttocks upwards.
Press the shoulders down to feel the stretch in the arms.
This exercise effectively opens up the chest, improves rounded shoulders and hunched back, visually slimming the shoulders and back.
Long-term practice can also alleviate constipation.
