Do you want to lose weight? Consider taking up these physicals that will help you in your efforts to chop some weight.
Squats.
Stand tall with your feet shoulder-width apart and lower your hips(almost like you are sitting in a chair). As you bend your knees, your thighs will be parallel with the floor. Ensure your knees do not go beyond your toes and keep your chest up and look straight ahead. Stand back up to start position and repeat.
Triceps Push-Ups.
Place your hands on the floor and keep under your shoulders. Holding your body straight, bend your elbows close to your body. Lower your chest between your hands and push back up into the starting position. If you are having trouble completing a push-up, place your knees on the floor to make things easier. For intensity, raise your feet up onto stairs or an elevated surface to increase the difficulty.
Skaters or Leaps.
To start, get into a semi-squat position and leap sideways to land on your right foot. Immediately push off in the opposite direction and land on your left foot. Make sure you perform these skaters continuously.
Plank Crawl.
Pace your self for this one. I recommend giving yourself.a goal of 15 to 20 crawls. Begin this move in a push-up position with your hands directly under your shoulders. Lower yourself down one arm at a time into a plank position on your firearms, while keeping your elbows directly under your shoulders. Push back up one arm at a time into your starting push-up position. Alternate the arm you lead with and maintain a straight body throughout the movement. Lower your knees to the floor to decrease the difficulty level.
Walking Lunge.
Stand with feet shoulder-width apart and place your arms to the side. Step forward with your right foot and lower your left knee towards the floor. Your knees should about 90 degrees. Ensure your right knee stays over your right ankle and do not let your knee go past your toes. Step up to balance on your right foot and switch feet.
Single Leg Balance Stick.
Bird Dog.
Begin on all fours(downward dog), ensuring your hands are directly under your shoulders and your knees are directly under your hips. Slowly extend your right arm forward into a straight line. Hold your balance without arching your back. Return to the starting position and repeat on the opposite side.
Side plank Hip Drops.
Begin by lying on your right side with your right elbow. Keeping your feet on the floor, lift your hips off the floor and support your body with your forearm. Hold for three seconds and slowly lower your right hip onto the floor and repeat.
Bridge.
Lay on your back with your arms by your sides. Bend your knees while keeping your feet flat on the floor. Maintaining a straight back, raise your hips up to a straight line from your shoulders to your knees. Hold for three seconds and lower your hips slowly back to the floor and repeat.
Superman Back Extension.
Lay on your stomach and reach your arms forward(like your are flying). Gently raise your legs and upper body off the floor while keeping your head straight. Pause for three seconds and repeat.
