We are going to see a simple exercise plan that will help you to be in shape. The new year has arrived, and with it, thoughts on how to get fit and ready for spring. However, these intentions tend not to last as long as we would like.
To get in shape, we propose a simple exercise plan that will change your appearance in just four weeks. You won’t have to go to the gym or buy any special equipment – all you need is determination and ten minutes a day.
1. Iron
A plank is a static exercise , which means you don’t need to move while doing it, just keep your body in the correct position in place. To do it right, follow the example shown in the image and support yourself on your elbows, forearms and feet. It is important to keep your back perfectly straight with no lower waist or raised bottom. While in this position, you work the muscles that keep you straight, such as your abdominals, arm muscles, back, and anterior thigh muscles.
2. Push-ups
To do a proper push-up, start with a plank as a starter, then push up with your arms. The most important thing is to keep your back, lower body and legs in a straight line – this will work your abs as well as your arms. The next step is to return to the starting position as slowly as possible.
3. Toning the muscles of the thigh and buttocks
Begin the exercise as shown in the image, getting down on your hands and knees. Then straighten one leg, trying to keep it straight and not tossing or bending while lifting and straightening the opposite arm at the same time. After that, do the same for the other arm and leg.
4. Squats
Squatting is all about balance – get your feet shoulder-width apart. Next, she begins to squat down as if she were slowly sitting down on a low imaginary chair. Knees and feet should form a straight line. Try to pull your lower back up as far as you can. You can also help maintain balance by stretching your arms out in front of you, as shown in the image. When you are down, begin to push yourself up as slowly as you can.
5. Sit-ups
Lie on your back and stretch your arms up, then slowly lift one of your legs, bending the knee, and touch it with your hand, as you can see above. Return to the starting position and repeat with the other leg and arm. Don’t forget the main rule here – the left arm goes to the left leg, and the right arm goes to the right.
6. Sit-ups with leg extensions
First, put your hands and feet so that your body forms a triangle on the ground. Raise one of your legs as high as you can, as seen in the first image, and then lower slowly and try to touch the tip of your nose with your knee. Return to the starting position and do the same with the other leg.
7. Waist Twists
Take the starting position with your legs wide apart and slightly bent at the knees, with your back against the wall. Then interlock the fingers of your hands or take a ball, as shown in the picture, and slowly move your hands from side to side, trying to touch the wall with them and, most importantly, staying upright.
