Perhaps people who are determined to lose weight are unusually obsessive about their goals: inner thighs to lose 1 inch, waistline to lose 2 talents, hip flab to lose several inches to look good …… some places to lose more, and some places not to lose, and so on and so forth, with perfect requirements for their bodies.
The truth is that people usually have misconceptions about localized weight loss, thinking that localized exercise will lead to localized slimming. Fat is distributed throughout the body, but when you exercise a certain part of the body, the fat of the entire body may be broken down, not just the part that is being exercised. However, different people break down fat at different rates, which is related to many factors, including age, genes, hormones and the intensity of exercise.
Therefore, it is difficult for you to achieve an exact “localized weight loss”. However, you can do “localized body sculpting”! Localized body sculpting is through the exercise of different parts of the body, so that fat into muscle, to create a beautiful body shape. The following 5 sets of movements are effective for localized shaping of the buttocks, abdomen and arms, so start practicing today!
Half body sit up
Position 1: Preparatory movements
Sit in a chair with your hands on the edge of the chair, fingertips forward. Lift your hips and slide forward so that your body is just off the chair and your knees are bent.
Position 2: Bend downward
Bend your elbows and sink your body a few inches (slide down against the edge of the chair). Keep your shoulders relaxed and elbows bent back. Push the body with both hands to sit up again because of the starting position and repeat 8 to 10 times.
Abdominal curl
Position 1: Preparation movement
Sit on the exercise ball so that your hips and half of your back are resting on it. (Roll the exercise ball until you find a position that feels comfortable for your back. The more most of your spine rests on the ball, the more comfortable you will feel. The more your posture is stretched, the easier it will be to balance.) Place your hands on your thighs.
Position 2: Curl your body
Lift your back off the exercise ball and curl your body so that your rib cage is closer to your pelvis. The upper body should also curl in the same direction, stretching the muscles from the back to the neck, tucking the chin toward the chest and the belly button in. Keep your hips and lower back in contact with the exercise ball. Relax your body and repeat the movement again. If you want to work more muscles, add a twisting motion of the body to the left or right side.
