Does your butt feel a bit flat? Not sticking out enough? Try doing this exercise: stand facing the wall and lightly press your hands on the wall. Keeping your leg straight and your back straight, swing your right leg back to a 45 degrees angle. Bring it back and then swing your left leg to a 45 degrees angle as well. Alternate legs and repeat for about 20 times for each leg. For better results, perform this exercise daily.
If that is too tiring, you can also try this exercise. Instead of hiking, performing this exercise can also produce the same results. Walk up the stairs two or three steps at a time. Your gluteus maximus can be kept in tone through ascending the stairs skipping as many steps you can at a time. For better results, perform this exercise daily.
Walking With Your Back Straight and Chest Up Confidentially
Walking with you back straight, chin up and shoulders opened shows a lot of confidence. Are you always confident enough to walk like this? Look around your house and find a book about half an inch wide. Place your hands one on the front of the book and one on the back, then holding it out directly in front of your chest as in a praying position. With your elbows up forming a 90 degree angle at your wrist, press against the book with both arms tightly. Do this for about 20 times. The purpose of this exercise is to build up stronger muscles in your chest. For better results, perform this exercise daily.
The Types of Sit Ups and the Areas of Muscles They Help Build
Sit ups may be hard to do but they can help build a lot of muscles. There are many different types of sit ups and each building up different areas of the body. You can perform normal sit ups by lying flat on your back on a mat, with your legs bent at the knee kept one foot from your butt, and with your arms folded across your chest or fingers interlinked and hands behind your hand, lift your upper body up to touch your knees. By performing normal sit ups your belly fat will turn into firm muscles and you will have a flat stomach.
Another type of sit up is to be in the same position as you would for normal sit ups, but instead of placing your feet on the ground, hold them in the air so that your calves and thighs form a 90 degree angle. To start off, keep your thighs slightly away from your body. As you lift your upper body up, draw your knees in and as you lower your body back to the ground, push your legs out again to starting position. This exercise aims not only to build up your abs but also keeps your thigh muscles in tone as well.
If you aren't trying to build up your abs or your thighs, here's another type of sit up you can try. Unlike the previous two, this one aspires to help you maintain a slim waist. The steps are the same as normal sit ups but instead of just bringing your upper body up to touch your knees, as you lift yourself up, go diagonally. With your fingers interlinked and hands behind your head, touch your right elbow to your left knee and your left elbow to your right knee. Alternate this as you lift your body up each time. Again, for better results, perform these exercises daily.
Remember: results of exercises are never to be seen after one day, you must persevere.
