Women all desire a perfect figure, so what are some tips and tricks for achieving that?
For working women, the most distressing issue is undoubtedly the fat accumulated from prolonged sitting. How to eliminate this excess fat has become their top concern. Eliminating fat, simply put, means losing weight, and losing weight requires exercise. However, working women are often busy with work and responsibilities, leaving little time for large blocks of exercise. They can only find opportunities to exercise in their spare moments.
Exercise is only effective if done consistently, but for many women, the idea of exercise means running, going to the gym, and working up a sweat and being breathless. However, many people can't stick to this routine, and strenuous exercise like running can't be maintained indefinitely. If you stop halfway, you'll gain weight. Office workers are not suited to going to the gym or running at fixed times.
Below are some simple, easy-to-do exercises suitable for office workers. These exercises can help you eliminate excess fat and achieve your body shaping goals. You can do these exercises anytime, anywhere, as they are short and don't require a fixed time or place. Just remember: do them whenever you have the opportunity and time.
1. Stretching exercises.
Stand or sit in place, extend both arms straight up and stretch your body. When doing this exercise, you will feel your abdominal and back muscles tighten. Do six sets each time, holding each set for 5 seconds.
2. Chest expansion exercises.
Stand still, clasp your hands behind your back, and straighten your arms while puffing out your chest. Chest expansion exercises are remarkably effective in preventing sagging. If you're interested in improving your breasts, you can do these exercises anytime to strengthen their care and maintenance.
3. Patting your body in place.
If you're so lazy that you don't even want to stand up from your office chair, consider patting different parts of your body in place. Patting is a great form of self-massage that can relax sore muscles and prevent cervical and lumbar spine problems caused by stiffness and numbness in the limbs.
4. Walking abdominal contraction exercises.
During your commute, walk as much as possible whenever you can. However, pay attention to your posture: keep your chest up, stomach in, and eyes looking straight ahead. Avoid hunching over or completely relaxing your muscles. Control your walking speed as well; walking at a slow, leisurely pace is the least effective. No matter how much you walk, you won't stimulate your abdominal muscles, and your belly won't shrink. Furthermore, hunching over disrupts your balance and reduces the exercise benefits of walking.
5. Swing the bag to exercise your arms.
Women often carry small backpacks, which can be used to exercise arm muscles without inconveniencing others. However, be careful not to swing the backpack if it's too heavy, as this can easily injure the shoulder joint. You can do this on the street, but be careful not to hurt passersby. You can also do it in the office, but of course, avoid bumping into teacups or thermos flasks while exercising.
6. Abdominal contraction exercises while waiting for or riding in a bus.
While waiting for or riding the bus, you're not idle. You can use this time to do abdominal exercises. Focus your mind on your abdomen, tighten it as much as possible, as if your navel is touching your back, hold for 5 seconds, then return to the starting position. Repeat these simple exercises whenever you have time!
7. Exercise your arms, calves, and abdomen while riding in a vehicle.
It's okay if there are no seats on the bus. Even if there are seats, don't sit down unless you're very tired, because we sit for long periods in the office during the day. You can completely avoid sitting during this time. You can do a lot of small exercises while standing on the bus. Hold onto the handrails on the bus, sometimes gripping tightly, sometimes relaxing, and repeat this; it can help slim your wrists.
Hold onto the rings (alternate between left and right hands), slightly open your feet, and lean forward. You should feel your abdominal muscles tighten, which helps to exercise your abdominal muscles.
If you can't reach the handrail on the bike, you can hold onto the railing with your hands, try to inhale and tighten your abdomen, and repeat this exercise.
8. Toe exercises in place.
Hold onto your desk for support, raise your heels, and stand on your tiptoes like a ballet dancer. Lower your heels when you get tired, and repeat this exercise to improve the shape of your calves. Do this for three minutes every day.
9. Swinging motion.
Sitting in a chair or standing up, place your hands on your hips and twist your waist from side to side. This helps reduce waist fat and strengthen muscles. You can also bend over to one side with one arm extended, hold for 5 seconds, and alternate sides. Continue until you feel tired.
To have a beautiful figure, you naturally need to put in some hard work and effort. But beauty is in your own hands, ladies, let's get started!
