If you’re looking to get back in shape but don’t have the time to go to the gym or follow a workout program, you’ll be pleased to know that you can strengthen and tone your abdomen and legs at home with a quick routine.
The amount of time you spend exercising is important, but it’s not the only factor you need to consider for good results. The choice of targeted exercises is equally important, and in this article we list 3 of them.
The routine that we detail below consists of 3 targeted exercises that help strengthen and sculpt abs and legs, dedicating a few minutes a day to them.
Perform the exercises three times a week to see the first results after the first 2-3 weeks.
1. Dumbbell carry
An exercise as simple as it is effective. Grab weights with your hands and walk for 30 seconds. Choose a weight that best suits your capacity, but increases as you train your body.
Keep your shoulders straight, your arms stretched out at your sides, and walk slowly for 30 seconds.
2. Dumbbell skier swing
To perform this exercise, grasp two weights with each hand and, from a standing position, lift the weights upwards and then bring them back downwards, swinging them as in the video.
Keep your knees slightly bent and tighten your glute muscles as you perform the exercise. Keep the weights upright and perform the exercise for 30 seconds. Then repeat the initial exercise for another 30 seconds.
3. Dumbbell reverse lunge
The last exercise is a classic reverse lunge with weights. Grab the weights with each hand and perform a reverse lunge first with the right leg, then with the left.
Make sure to keep your torso and chest straight, until your knee touches the floor. Repeat with each leg until you do the exercise for 30 seconds.
