The need to perform exercises for weight loss of the sides occurs when surplus fat tissue is concentrated in the area of the external and internal oblique muscles of the abdomen, and the waist is not only not clearly visible, but also practically not probed. And the most convincing proof of the existence of such "stocks" is the overhang of fat folds on the sides after you put on your jeans and zipped them on your waist.
Effective exercises for losing weight from the sides
Are there effective exercises for slimming your sides? Yes, there are such exercises, and there are quite a lot of them: to perform in standing position, sitting and lying down. But at once you should be warned that exercises for rapid weight loss of the sides are the same, they simply need to be performed systematically (that is, daily) with a constant increase in the number of repetitions. That is, first each exercise is done 10 times, in a couple of days - 12-15 times, by the end of the week - 20, and then every two or three days you need to add the number of repetitions, bringing them up to 30-40 times. A gradual increase in the load will not give the strength and will promote more efficient burning of the fat accumulated on the sides.
First, slimming exercises are done in an upright position:
- Stand erect, place your feet shoulder width apart, bend your arms and lift it behind your head. At the expense of 1-2-3 to make three slopes to the right side (increasing the amplitude), at the expense of 4 - straighten. Then the same is done to the left. In each side of five replicates.
- Without changing position, raise your arms close above your head and gently bend first to one side, hold the position in the slope to the account to five, and then slowly straighten and do the same in the other direction. Repeat 5 times.
- The same position, but put your hands on your belt. Without bending the back, the upper part of the body is tilted forward at a right angle, and then a smooth 360-degree circular torso-rotational motion of the torso is performed. Repeat 5 times in each direction.
- Stand upright back to the wall at a distance of 25 cm from her, feet shoulder width apart, arms bent at the elbows in front of the chest, palms open to the outside. Turns are made by the upper part of the trunk (with a "twisting" in the waist) - with both hands touching the plane of the wall, alternately in each direction. The minimum number of repetitions is 10.
- Without departing from the vertical plane, turn to her face and lean against the palms of his hands, to make the legs springing the mahi back, bending back straight back. Each foot - 10-12 mahov.

For universal cardio-therapy, the universal remedy is good - jump rope: it is enough to jump for 2-3 minutes before performing the basic exercises. And one more mandatory exercise for rapid weight loss of the sides (in conjunction with the "massage" of problem areas on your waist) - rotation of the sports hoop (normal or with weighting). In principle, it is enough to twist the hula-hoop for five minutes in the morning and in the evening, but not immediately after eating.
