According to trainer Pham Thanh Nhan of La Cochinchine fitness center, “dieting helps you lose weight quickly but actually only makes you lose muscle while excess fat remains in the body.

However, if you keep it limited to bare-knuckle exercises or aerobics, it really lacks interest in a modern, active ELLE girl.

1. Shoulders – chest

Push ups

Also known by the very popular name “push-ups”, push-ups are truly an obstacle for many girls because of their difficulty and weight.

First, you put your arms straight, perpendicular to the floor.

If you can’t do push-ups with your torso parallel, you can start with your knees on the floor and do at least 10 reps at a time.

Pull the weight back

Helping to support the shoulders, chest and upper back, the pull-up is a comprehensive exercise that helps add volume to your upper body as well as shape the sternum area in front of your chest.

First, stand with your knees slightly bent, hips pushed back, back straight.

Later on, you can increase the weight as you feel more comfortable with the exercise.

2. Abdomen – Waist

Crunches with the ball

It can be said that crunches are one of the exercises that easily make women bored because if you are not used to them, crunches will hurt your back and neck more than the actual waist and hip area.

First, use a medium-sized rubber ball, hold it firmly in both hands, arms straight.

With this movement, you need to pay attention to moving your abdominal muscles to avoid back pain or neck pain, two common symptoms when performing the exercise incorrectly.

Raise your legs high

If crunches help you firm your upper abdomen, raising your legs high will help you strengthen your lower abdomen.

Note that with this exercise, your legs must always be straight and parallel during the exercise.

3. Buttocks – Thighs

Squat

Nothing makes a bikini look ugly like a saggy and less firm butt.

First, put your feet shoulder-width apart, push your hips back and then slowly lower your body so that your thighs are parallel to the floor.

Tiptoed

Have you always loved the image of girls in short, graceful dresses and slender high heels on the street?

To improve that image, you can practice the simple `tiptoe` exercise as follows.

4. Hands

Push weights

“Many girls see dumbbells and quickly get scared and then stop practicing because they are afraid of getting too big and bulky.

Start with a pair of small dumbbells weighing 3-4kg, hold them sideways and parallel to your body.

Keep the weight balanced

If you are looking for a 2-in-1 exercise that helps you both tone your arms and slim your waist, keeping the weights balanced is a great assistant for you.

It can be said that dieting is only temporary, exercise is forever.

Tip:

Combine exercises, a scientific diet and use daily body lotion to get a pearly figure.
