When we think of exercise, we think of going to the gym, but you can do light but effective exercises at home, and even better in bed.
Bright Side has selected a number of great exercises that can be incredibly effective when combined with a balanced diet.
- Bent leg lateral raise
Sit on your knees and keep your back straight. Raise one leg as high as possible and hold it at a 90° angle. Lower back to the starting position and repeat 10 times. Then repeat with the other leg. - Plank for leg raises
Get into a push-up position and lift your right leg up and hold for 1 second. Lower your right leg and raise your left leg. - Glue bridge
Lie on your back and lift your buttocks. Stay in this position and gradually tighten as much as possible. To increase the intensity, you can lift one leg and repeat with the other leg. - Raise the side leg
Lying on your side with your hips just above each other, lift your upper leg up and slowly return to the starting position. Repeat 10 times, then do the same exercise with the other leg. - Russian twist
Sit with your knees bent, lean back slightly and lift your legs. Slowly rotate the trunk to one side, return to the starting position, and then slowly rotate to the other side. - Planks
Plank is a very simple but highly effective exercise. Make sure your elbows are under your shoulders and your body should form a straight line from head to toe. Hold this position as long as possible. Keep you straight.
