Okay, so you’ve invested a great deal of time and
effort on your fitness regime and are quite gung-ho about your body.
But you’re not all there
till you have fine-tuned your jiggles. Take a good look at some of the bodily
parts you would like to set slightly straight, and how you can get it done.
BAT WINGS
(SAGGY TRICEPS)
The back of the upper arm is a problem area for
many women. You may be slim and fit, but still find this area needs a lift.
Referred to as bye-bye arms, for reasons quite obvious, the tricep kickback is a
great quick exercise to reverse this problem.
You can to do it with
a resistance tube called the X-er tube, but the same can be done with light
weights, too. Positioned as demonstrated, the tricep muscle works when the arm
is straightened out against resistance. Bend and straighten the arms in this
position, while making a special attempt at tightening the back of the arm every
time you straighten it out.
POT BELLY
Slim yet pot-bellied? Get a tummy
tuck, non-surgically that is, with these tips:
* Eat mini
meals right through the day at regular intervals of two to three hours. Avoid
eating two to three large meals a day with no snacking in between. You do want
to be able to see your feet when you are standing!
* Trash the
toxins by drinking at least seven to eight glasses of water a day. Toxins add to
your body weight, so guzzle up if you want to eliminate water retention and keep
your waist slender.
* Bid sugar and oil a great farewell. You can do
without them. Instead, load up on fresh fruits and raw veggies.
*
Cut out the aerated drinks and alcohol. Stick to red wine, if you must drink.
* Get your sneakers on and do a cardiovascular workout for about 35
to 40 minutes, at least thrice a week. Gradually up that to six times a week as
you get more fit.
* Don’t OD on abdominal workouts — the
area under the bellywill protrude, look bulky and highly unflattering.
