In order to enjoy the benefits of exercising it doesn’t have to be many
hours spent in the gym. It is perfectly fine to do it home and in today’s
article, we present to you a night-before bed routine that can easily
become a habit and provide you amazing results in few weeks time.
This exercise program will only take few minutes of your time and after a
couple of weeks, you will start doing them with very little effort.
HERE IS HOW TO GET STARTED:
High knee exercises
Start with this exercise to tone the buttocks, calves, and core, improve
your balance, burn calories, and boost metabolism. Stand with the legs
about shoulder-width apart, and raise one leg. Bring the knee up towards
the chest, hold for a few seconds, and lower it to the floor.
Next, repeat with the second leg, and move back and forth between the
right and left side. While trying to maintain the balance on the standing
leg, you will tone its calf, quadriceps, hamstrings and buttock muscles.
Plie Slides
This exercise is very similar to squats. Only this time you need to
spread your legs apart as much as you can. So, as you lower your body your
inner thigh muscles stretch and you can feel the burn. Make sure your back
is straight at all times and rest your arms on your calves.
Deep/Full squats
This exercise is most effective for the gluteal muscles and the leg
muscles. Stand up straight with your feet slightly apart. Then lower your
butt almost to the ground while keeping your feet on the floor.
Plank to Stand Up
From standing, crouch down and place your hands on the floor, then jump
your legs behind you into a plank. Do a push-up, hop your feet back
underneath you, then extend your legs and hips and leap into the air as
high as you can, reaching your hands overhead. Land and go immediately
into the next rep.
Lateral leg raises
Lie down on a side bend your right leg and hold your head your head with
your right arm. Streight up your left leg and lift it up as much as you
can. Lower back your leg without touching the floor and repeat the
process. After you finish repeat the exercise on the opposite side.
Inner thigh lifts
This workout exercise is great for the inner thigh. To strengthen the
groin muscles the person lies on their side with the leg to be worked on
the bottom. The top leg is bent out of the way as shown. The person lifts
the bottom leg as high as is comfortable, keeping the knee straight.
