Seven sets of targeted, high-efficiency slimming exercises: Morning stretches on an empty stomach, precisely targeting fat in the waist, legs, abdomen, and arms.
1. Foot Stretch (can be done five or more times). Main effects: stretches the ankles and tones the calves. Use one or two encyclopedias or stairs to increase the height, place your hands against the wall, and stand on a platform with the front third of your feet on it. Inhale as you stretch.
Support your weight on your toes, pressing your heels down until you feel pressure in your calves. Inhale, and slowly lift your feet up onto your toes. Inhale, and slowly return to the starting position, then repeat the movement.
II. Seated Leg Raise Exercise (Do 3-5 times). Main effect: Shapes thigh muscles. Sit on the ground with your feet slightly apart, stretching your legs forward as far as possible, and place your hands behind your back. Slowly inhale and gently raise your legs about 5-10 centimeters, then tighten your hamstrings. Exhale as you do so.
Slowly relax and then lower your leg back to the flat surface. Repeat inhaling, then lift your leg and slowly move it outwards, feeling the tension on both the inner and outer sides of your thigh. Exhale and slowly lower your leg back to the flat surface.
3. Arm Raise Exercise (10 repetitions). Main purpose: To tone the upper arms. Place your hands on a table behind you, legs straight and together, without bending them, and use your hands to support your body weight. Slowly inhale, and as you lower your body weight, slowly bend your arms, pressing your waist down and supporting your body with your hands. Exhale as you do this.
Use your arm strength to straighten your body until you have exhaled completely, then straighten your arms.
IV. Arms Raise Behind Back (10 repetitions). Main function: Tightens back muscles and outer upper arms. Clasp your hands behind your back and slowly inhale. Exhale as you do so.
While stretching your arms as straight as possible behind your back, try to raise them upwards. Inhale, and slowly return to the original position.
5. Seated Leg Raise (5-10 repetitions). Main function: Tightens the abdominal muscles. Sit on a chair with your legs together and bent, feet off the ground. Inhale, support your body with your hands and use your lower abdominal muscles to extend your legs forward. Hold the position for 6-8 seconds, then slowly exhale and return your body to the starting position.
6. Kneeling Leg Raise (10 repetitions). Main effects: Tones the inner thighs and buttocks. Start in a kneeling position on the floor, with your hands and feet on the ground, like a dog. Place your hands shoulder-width apart, knees hip-width apart, and palms and knees facing the same direction. Raise your right leg, bending your left knee to approximately 90 degrees, and hold for 2 seconds. Keep your body stable and avoid bending or tilting to the left. Lower your right leg back to the starting position. Repeat 10 times, then switch to the left leg.
7. Targeted Slimming Exercises (10 repetitions). Main effect: To tone the waist. Hold dumbbells or water-filled plastic bottles, extending your arms straight forward. Inhale, moving only your upper body, and begin to rotate to the left. Hold for 6-8 seconds after feeling a tightening in your waist, then slowly exhale and return to the starting position. Repeat the movement, five times to each side. Incorrect demonstration: Holding dumbbells with arms extended forward is more effective at eliminating unwanted waist fat.
Bonus Method for Weight Loss: On the morning of the day you lose weight, perform the weight loss exercises on an empty stomach before meals. Focus your awareness on the area you want to slim down and stimulate it. Start with only a few repetitions that you can manage, don't force yourself, and gradually increase the number later.
Exercising on an empty stomach in the morning is a good time. The timing of exercise affects your mental and physical state afterwards; exercising in the morning helps to improve your metabolism.
You'll feel more energetic throughout the day. After eating, the stomach needs a lot of blood; exercise at this time directs that blood flow to the stomach.
Reduced blood flow before meals hinders digestion, so exercising before meals is better than exercising after meals.
These four strength training exercises help lengthen muscles and boost metabolism. After completing the aforementioned basic gymnastics exercises, you can then perform these muscle training exercises for better targeted slimming results. After any exercise, don't forget to incorporate stretching movements. Stretch the muscles you just worked, holding the stretch for about 20 seconds to prevent lactic acid buildup.
