The free body and its many advantages
Many fitness experts recommend doing bodyweight exercises, i.e. without the use of equipment, when we are at home. Tools can be risky, if we don’t know how to use them we can make serious mistakes. The good news is that there are many exercises to do at home without the use of any technical equipment.
Not everyone knows this, but it is possible to train the buttocks and thighs without the use of expensive machinery, even in the living room. Today we will see how to get visible results simply by doing these exercises.
Five minutes a day of this exercise is enough to have firm thighs and buttocks of steel
Before starting our training routine, it is good to warm up. We can go for a brisk walk, a jog or jump rope for five minutes. When we have warmed up the muscles we can start training.
We will start by doing squats for 40 seconds.
We will have to keep the arms at the sides, the legs apart in line with the shoulders and the toes apart. We bend the knees as if we were going to sit down, keeping the back straight and raising the arms to counterbalance the movement.
Now we can go back up, fully extending the knees and bringing the arms back to the starting position. The movement must be fluid and continuous, without jerks. At the end of the 40 seconds, we can rest for 5 seconds to catch our breath.
Now we can perform another set of squats, lowering one arm at a time alternately. At the end of this series, we rest for another 5 seconds and then do a squat and hold the position for 15 seconds. We can repeat all the above movements a second time and then do some stretching exercises.
If we perform this simple series every day we will soon see some truly incredible results. The muscles of the thighs and buttocks will appear firmer and more toned.
