We compose an effective program for training girls at home. Home workouts for girls

Despite the fact that every girl dreams of a perfect figure, due to various circumstances, not all women have the opportunity to regularly visit a fitness club, paying for expensive classes with a personal trainer. But this does not mean at all that you need to give up your goal, forgetting about the dream of getting a slender, elastic and attractive body. You can train, and no less effectively, at home, with minimal adaptation, or without having anything at all except your desire.

In this article I will tell you about some exercises for girls, doing which at home you will look your best!

What do you need?

A set of exercises for girls at home can be made without taking into account additional equipment... That is, you can practice without having anything but gender and your desire. The ideal option would be to buy dumbbells and jump ropes.

Dumbbells are needed in order to work out more efficiently, a jump rope is needed to reduce the amount of fat in the body. But, we repeat, if for some reason there is no opportunity to purchase equipment, you can train effectively without various fitness attributes, from which the right approach you can completely refuse to train.

Let's face it, there is no perfect workout routine that fits every girl.

Workouts give results only when the training program is individually tailored for you. Therefore, decide on your goals by choosing the exercises that you need first. Perfect workout involves working out the whole body. But at the same time, you need to prioritize, focusing on your problem areas.

We train the buttocks and legs

Most often, by driving something like "exercises for girls at home" into a search engine, the fair sex wants to improve the shape of the buttocks and legs. Cellulite is a common problem even among those women who are overweight, in general, do not differ. And cellulite, like flabby buttocks or saggy skin on your legs, can be corrected by using several effective lower body exercises. Here are the most effective ones:

• Squats
• Lunges
• Jumping out
• Alternate uphill climbs
• Calf Raises

Perhaps the following statement will not be appreciated by many girls, but we still venture to tell you that the exercise itself is not as important as the muscle volume that is included in the work when performing the movement. Here are five of the most voluminous and effective movements that you need to use, depending on the problem that has arisen. You can either forget about the rest of the exercises, or perform them in addition to this complex. You should not expect a special effect from the rest of the exercises, since they load our muscles much less.

Let's move on to exactly how to use these exercises.
Squats are the best and must-have option for working out your glutes, hamstrings, quads, and inner thighs. At the same time, lunges give a more accentuated load on the buttocks, removing some of the load from the quadriceps. Perfect option- use squats and lunges on a regular basis, alternating between them.

Jumping is an exercise that focuses on the quadriceps and inside hips, removing some of the load from the hamstrings and buttocks. Use it to remove the folds of fat on the inside of your leg.

Alternate uphill climbs- exercises for the buttocks. Can be added to squats and lunges. Calf raises train your calves. Use for those who are dissatisfied with the condition of this muscle.

Your SAMPLE lower body workout plan should look like this:

1. Squats (lunges).
2. Alternate ascents to a hill (every 2 workouts).
3. Jumping out.
4. Calf Raises.

This is for working out the entire lower body. Adjust the plan based on your own goals. The number of approaches and reps is also a purely individual factor.

The set of exercises for girls at home should also include several upper body exercises. Of course, for girls in most cases, the bottom is more important than the top, but you still need to work on problem areas. The most problematic areas are abs and triceps. We will work on them by choosing the following exercises:

• Twisting
• Hanging leg raises
• French press for triceps

Triceps is the second problem area, the best exercise for which is the French press with one hand standing. And here a similar problem arises - there is nothing to press if we do not have a dumbbell. However, in this case, any weight will do. You can just put water in a bottle and train with it, since girls do not need to take more than 5 kilograms in this exercise.

Another thing is that this can cause certain inconveniences, and therefore the French press can be replaced with banal push-ups. If you do not know how to do push-ups, in this case, you can change the exercise, leaning on the floor not with your toes, but with your knees, and also learn. This will greatly simplify the execution of the movement.

You can train other muscle groups as well. In the absence of equipment and the desire, you can train your biceps with any weight that you can support while doing biceps curls. You can train your shoulders by doing a dumbbell press (bottle, cat, whatever).

Your EXAMPLE upper body workout program should look like this:

1. French press (or push-ups).
2. Hanging leg raises (or twisting).

If you can do both, alternate. Optionally, you can add standing biceps curls and a seated shoulder press. If you have a crossbar, you can.

How can you achieve success?

Now let's talk about the main thing. Let's talk about why the vast majority of girls do not achieve success, despite the fact that exercises for girls at home are effective and affordable.

We are talking about the progression of loads, without which even the most effective exercise will not give any result.

If in today's workout you performed 5 sets of squats, performing 20 repetitions in each set, then through the workout you need to add at least one set or one repetition in each exercise. And so on until you are completely satisfied with the result. And so in all exercises without exception. This is something that most publications that reprint each other's articles will not tell you.

Everything that we talked about today works mega-efficiently, but only on condition that you increase the load at each lesson. By neglecting this condition, you make it impossible to achieve success using any of the most effective training complex.

Strength training not only sharpens a figure with beautiful smooth transitions, it increases testosterone levels. This male hormone not only helps to build the right muscles and make the body exciting, but also to cope with the load. And she's weighty.

Of course, if the goal of training in the gym is to work for relief, and not to promote health and support physical form... Although, without a doubt, the latter motivation is no less important and also requires effort and self-control.

No matter what prompted the girl to step over the threshold of the gym, lessons must be supervised by an instructor, according to an individual, well-designed, training program.

But not everyone can afford a personal trainer, so there are proven training schemes-programs for girls of different levels of sports training and various effects on muscles.

The Right Program - The Plan That Works

The principle of trying everything and immediately leads to nowhere, as well as the first workouts to failure. It's not a woman's business - to exhaust yourself to the limit. Instead of making progress, you can easily overload your muscles by engaging in excessive sets and reps, or overworking.

Carefulness and gradual build-up of the load is the first condition for future success.

Second, you need to start implementing the training plan with a general developmental set of exercises for all muscle groups. Once they get used to the workload in 2-4 weeks, they will prepare for serious training. The third is to master the technique of performing exercises on simulators, otherwise you can get injured without achieving the desired result. Finally, it is useful to keep a personal diary where you note what is planned to be done, how many times and, if the weight is assumed, which one.

Newbie girls should not start a split program, even if they are tempted to immediately start pumping up one or two "necessary" muscle groups.

Warm up first

Even if you want to fly up to the projectile and, without wasting time, proceed to the "pumping" part, it is unacceptable to do so. There is an immutable rule - to start training on a program of any level with a warm-up. It is wrong to neglect it, considering it an unproductive pastime. It will provide warming up of the ligamentous apparatus, muscles and joints, thereby protecting against injury.

First, warm up in the cardio zone. 10 minutes is shown followed by a "climb" on (skis) is also fine. By using the hips at the same time, you can quickly get into a sports form on it. Pulse up to 100-120 beats / min. as a result of aerobic exercise for the good. Due to the flow of oxygen, the muscles are filled with blood, cardiovascular and metabolic activity increases.

Stretching is an important part of the warm-up

Dynamic stretching is needed to give elasticity to muscles and mobility of joints. Training them before the main workout helps to achieve the required range of motion of the arms, legs, and the greatest depth of squats. Usually these are simple bends to the sides and forward, rotations of the arms, shoulders, lunges. The time takes 8-10 minutes.

Stretching for a specific muscle group is also performed before the first approach when changing exercises.

How many sets, how many reps ...

It all depends on the chosen program and the level of preparedness of the girl. It also matters which part of the body is preferable to train - the lower or the upper. Muscles throughout the woman's body are unevenly distributed, there are more of them in the lower zone, it is easier to progress there. To develop your chest and shoulders, you need to strain more.

One more important factor taken into account - physiology.

Two weeks after menstruation, the body is much stronger than in the following days.

The intensity of the exercises on and the lower body, as well as the quantitative indicators of sets and repetitions, must be varied. This cyclic load is called microperiodization.

Anyone who takes into account the natural mechanism and adheres to sports periodization achieves powerful and lasting results.

Whatever indulgences are provided for beginners, classes in the gym are not a school physical education lesson in preparatory group... There are other goals here, and you need to tune in to high-volume training with a short rest. This applies to both fitness and strength training. Underworking (small weights, few exercises, sets and reps) is equal to marking time, neither inflated buttocks nor abs will appear.

The average numbers are as follows: 5-6 sets, 10-15 reps each. On light workout days, the number of approaches is 3-4. For those who are starting training for the first time or come to the gym after a long break, there is a fifteen repetition rule.

You need to start with such a weight that you have enough strength for 15 repetitions in the first approach.

And do not do more than two approaches a day. By the next lesson, it will be seen how the muscles will respond to the load. If you do not get very sick, it is advisable to carry out a series of workouts with the same load. Add the next approach after a few sessions.

There are small pauses between sets - 30-60 seconds. At severe fatigue the rest period can be slightly increased, but the workout cannot be shortened. Pauses decrease over time. The creation of new muscle fibers (anabolism) requires a lot of exercise with oxygen debt. Normal condition if the last exercises (provided correct technique) it is really hard to perform, but not extremely - it is impossible to bring the muscles to micro-tears.

What is "base" and why is it useful

The complex effect on the body is provided by the work of many muscles. Giving yourself an hourly "multi-disciplinary" load is much more useful than isolated on one or two muscles. Biceps or chest can be pumped if everything else is already level. Therefore, local training is not for girls. Building the body begins with basic, multi-joint exercises, allowing you to simultaneously work out the maximum number of muscles. This is the basis of strength training (the word "base" came from bodybuilding, and there from powerlifting). There are three such exercises:

with a barbell on the shoulders for the lower body. The squat has the highest athletic rating. The work includes the following muscles: buttocks, quadriceps, adductors of the thighs, straight and oblique abdomen, long back muscles. Mastering the rules of execution is a prerequisite.

Bench press to strengthen and lift the chest. When working on a horizontal bench, the middle muscles of the chest are involved, on the inclined bench, the upper ones. With a wide grip, the extreme sections are loaded, a narrow grip corrects a sunken chest. Best of all, the golden mean - slightly wider than the shoulders. The first approach is warm-up, with light weight, the next 3-4 approaches include 7-12 repetitions. Weight is selected individually. The weight rises as you exhale, it descends slowly with a deep breath.

The last 1-2 reps of the last set are most important for muscle development.

simultaneously for the top and bottom, including the buttocks. it universal exercise, performed with dumbbells or with a barbell in three variations: classic, sumo, on straight legs ( best exercise!). It is enough for girls to lift 12-15 kg, there is no need for anything else. Better to start with 5kg, doing 5-10 squats in 3 sets.

At the initial stage, they have many advantages:

• physiology; movements are consistent with the anatomy of the osteoarticular apparatus;
• energy saving; less energy consumption due to the redistribution of muscle load;
• a set of muscle mass in less time; high cumulative load contributes to faster strengthening of ligaments and joints.

In the program for beginners basic exercises 80-90% of the training time is allotted. It is the main tool for the development of musculature, the foundation for building a muscular skeleton.

About programs and methods

Gyms abound with projectiles. It is impossible to independently decide on the program and select exercises for a person who does not know all the intricacies of training. Even an experienced instructor may not immediately get to the point and ideally schedule the training regime in each specific case. Much is adjusted individually, empirically. But popular techniques have already been worked out, you can safely follow them when you come to the gym.

Slimming step by step program

This is an entry-level level with three lessons per week.

The first day

Warm up on a treadmill, 5-10 min. Jogging with is necessary to deal with extra pounds. The pace of running is slow, with overweight start with a quick step. Gradually increase the distance at the same speed.

A special warm-up before squats (warm-up approach) to warm up muscles and ligaments with a light weight 15 times (so as not to strain).

Squats. Start with two, later do three approaches. The working weight is adjusted individually. For example, with some weight they squatted 15 times, but the 16th could no longer ... This is the weight that is needed. The reference point is the sensations at the next workout.

Raising the pelvis while lying on your back. Ups and downs alternate. During the lift, the feet rest on the heels. A month (twice a week) to work out an exercise without weight, 10 repetitions, 2-3 sets with pauses of 3-4 minutes. Then go to the power option with weights on the lower abdomen (once a week). The working weight is gradually increased until it is possible to lift it 10 times. Perform 4 sets with a five-minute rest between them.

Seated Incline Dumbbell Press. Raising (exhaling) and lowering (inhaling) two dumbbells at the same time. The technique is practiced at low weight. Overloading is dangerous, you can dislocate your shoulder. The same 2-3 approaches are followed. The number of repetitions and the weight are within your power. If 12 kg will be taken over time, great.

The working weight and the number of presses are selected for the weak hand.

Twisting on an incline bench. We make cubes on the stomach - swing the press, performing concentrated bends. Two exercises - for the upper and lower (below the navel) press, 2 sets and 12 reps each. A month later, the same is done with a weight on the chest - once a week.

Abs exercises do not remove belly fat. This is achieved by overall weight loss.

• Stretches: shoulders, triceps, abs, glutes, thighs.

Second day

• Treadmill.
• Special stretching before the bench press.
• Bench press (similar to the bench press). The tight grip forms the muscles that push the chest out.
• Pull of the horizontal block (with preliminary special stretch). When pulling the handle of the simulator to the stomach, exhale, while abducting, inhale. 2/3 scheme, weight up to 12 kg.
• Stretches: Triceps, Pecs, Lats, Biceps.

Day three

• Treadmill.
• Thrust vertical block to the chest or pull-up in Graviton. The last exercise is more effective. With the help of a counterweight, push-ups and plump ones are much more comfortable. The lats and biceps are loaded. Exercise is helpful for scoliosis. Scheme: 2/3 10 pull-ups.
• Lifting dumbbells from a sitting position on an incline bench. Biceps are forming. Movements are smooth, without jerks, lowering is made slower. The number of approaches is from 2, the working weight is up to 10 kg.
• Press on a vertical block trainer to the bottom. Triceps are being developed. Weight up to 10 kg, 2/3 approaches. Useful exercise for those who go in for swimming, basketball, gymnastics, badminton.
• Stretches: triceps, biceps, lats.

Post-workout to restore muscle glycogen and additional education insulin, you need to eat a sweet fruit or drink 200 ml of grape juice.

4. Barbell / dumbbell presses (from the chest, from behind the head while standing or sitting): 4 / 8-12 times;
5. Push-ups against the back of the bench: 4 / 10-15 times;
6. Bending the arms with dumbbells behind the head (French press) while standing or sitting: 3-4 / 10-15 times;
7. Swing arms from the hip to the horizontal (with dumbbells) 3 / 10-15 times;

Option C

1. Twisting lying on the floor with legs thrown on the "curbstone": 3 / 10-19 times;

For beginners

program for beginners

The first month of training is the hardest. Still weak muscle tone, cardiovascular system not prepared for sports loads, interfering with exercise excess weight... Therefore, the entry into the operating mode is gradual, according to an adaptation scheme. So, on the first day, do one approach with a minute rest in between, in the second - two approaches and with a reduced pause for recovery up to 50 seconds. From the third day on, the program runs unchanged.

• Cardio load ( treadmill, elliptical trainer,) - 10 min .;
• Stretch warm-up - 10 minutes;
• Hanging knee lifts on the horizontal bar: 3 / up to 20 times;
• Extension and flexion of the knees while sitting and lying: 3 / 10-12 times;
• Women's Barbell Squats: 3 / up to 20 times;
• Leading the leg back (on a bench, in a crossover, block trainer): 3 / up to 25 times;
• Swing legs to the sides (with attachment of the cuff of the lower block): 3 / up to 25 times;
• Hyperextension (emphasis under the hips): 3 / 10-15 times;
• Pull of the vertical block to the chest (reverse grip): 2 / 10-12 times;
• Classic bench press with dumbbells lying or reduction of hands on the "butterfly": 3/10 times;
• French bench press (institution for the head of a dumbbell) sitting: 2 / 10-12 times;

After 12-15 workouts, muscles are given rest and recovery time is up to 7 days.

Common mistakes beginners make in the gym.

Emphasis on legs and buttocks

Squat with a weight on the shoulders (bodybar, bar)- the best exercise for pumping legs and buttocks. The gluteal muscles work at the very bottom. When standing up, when the thighs become parallel to the floor, the quadriceps muscles of the thigh carry the load. Therefore, to jointly pump up the buttocks and hips, deep squats with full extension are performed. Without weights: 3 / 20-25 repetitions, with free weight: 3 / 10-15 repetitions.

Lunges. Form the buttocks in forward lunges. For circular fat burning, back lunges with alternating lifting on a chair are useful. Without weight: 3/15 repetitions each with the left and right legs. With dumbbells or a barbell for 3/10.

Deadlift on straight legs (Romanian deadlift). With a flat bottom, exercise should be given Special attention... It forms the arch of the back, develops the glutes and develops the hamstrings. Without weights: 3 / 20-30 times. In the power version 3 / 10-15 times. If there are problems with the spine, the analogue is hyperextension.

Glute bridge(lifting the pelvis from the horizontal plane from a prone position). This is an isolated exercise for the buttocks. Without weights: 3 / 20-30 times. With a bar or barbell on the pelvic area: 3 / 10-15 times.

Split program for strong arms, shoulders, back

Split programs are designed for girls who have been training for over two years. Split schemes are separate, cyclically repetitive workouts for muscle groups, spaced out by day.

The training begins with a visit to the cardio zone, followed by a warm-up approach to warm up the muscles.

Shoulder development:

• French press standing: 3 / 10-12 times;
• dumbbell bench press sitting on a bench with a back (grip from oneself): 3 / 10-12 times;
• Arnold bench press (with rotation of the wrists): 3 / 10-12 times;
• dumbbell pull to the chin: 3 / 10-12 times;
• lifting dumbbells to the sides and in front of you: 3 / 10-12 times.

Back development (wide grip):

• pull of the upper block to the chest and behind the head: 3 / 10-15 times;
• pull-ups: 3 / 10-15 times;
• barbell thrust in the slope: 3 / 10-15 times.

Second day - working out the hands

• pull-ups with a reverse grip 3/10 times;
• Californian bench press (with an elbow turn to the body): 3/10 times;
• bending the arms with a barbell while standing: 3/10 times;

How long to study, and when to expect the result

While working out in the gym, everyone has their own goal: to lose weight, gain weight, build muscle, or increase endurance. Accordingly, the results have to be assessed according to various criteria. For example, if you wanted to build muscle mass and increase strength, a measuring tape will show the result, the weight loss process will be reflected by scales and a mirror. Subject to the schedule of classes and proper nutrition the efforts expended will begin to pay off within 6-8 weeks.

It should be borne in mind that muscles develop in different ways. So, cubes on the stomach appear much later than the biceps on the arms. Many changes are generally difficult to notice quickly by eye. But patience and work will be rewarded. It happens that some of the exercises performed are selected incorrectly and inhibit the achievement of the expected result. Then you need to adjust the program and keep moving forward. Make training an integral part of your life and the results will come.

Study, work, household chores, family and personal relationships leave almost no free time for sports to keep in top shape. To visit a fitness club, you need to find in your schedule a couple of extra hours at least two to three times a week.

Another disadvantage of visiting the gym is the subscription fee, which does not always fit into the framework personal budget... Banal embarrassment can also become a hindrance. Not every girl is able to overcome herself and exercise on simulators surrounded by strangers.

Home workouts are considered a good alternative to visiting a fitness club. They allow you not to be shy, and also to do exercises when it is most convenient for your own schedule. There is no need to spend some time on the road to the gym. This is especially true for those who live and work in areas where there are no health and fitness centers nearby.

Find 60 minutes on home workout you can even on busy days, slightly redrawing your own schedule. This does not seem difficult, since in any case, you will have to study within the walls of your home. The main thing is to want to have a beautiful and slender body, as well as to purchase simple sports equipment one-time.

Exercising on a regular basis and eating a balanced diet will bring results quickly. The silhouette will begin to acquire the desired harmony, and the volumes will be adjusted by a well-chosen training program.

The popularization of training at home is due to a number of positive aspects... Classes held in your own room or in any other room that has enough free space provide several important benefits:

• There are no restrictions on the daily schedule. The training can be scheduled for absolutely any convenient time, and not adjust to the work schedule of the fitness center.
• No need to waste time on the road. The nearest complex is not always located in the immediate vicinity of the place of work, residence, study. Most often, you need to get to training not on foot, but by personal or public transport. This takes a decent amount of time, especially for residents of megacities.
• Saving money. Subscription to good gym has quite high cost, which involves paying for both actual and missed gym visits. This is a significant disadvantage for people whose plans can change dramatically, as well as for beginners who do not have complete confidence that they can really go to training regularly.
• No prying eyes. People who have not performed any physical exercise, it can be difficult to relax and start exercising if there are a lot of people around. Most are worried about the imperfections of their own figure, the wrong choice of a tracksuit, awkward movements, a haggard look. These psychological barriers completely disappear when you exercise in your own room.
• Unlimited choice. A huge number of modern benefits allow you to diversify home workouts and never lose motivation. If the complex is given easily, you can always complicate the exercises performed or start practicing according to a completely different program. It's even more fun to train with your favorite music.
• Personal hygiene. Sports equipment and exercise equipment in fitness centers are used all day different people, therefore, they do not differ in purity. Changing rooms equipped with quality showers are rare. At home, you don't have to worry about hygiene, take a shower and even lie in a hot bath to relax your muscles.

These advantages become the main reason the fact that some girls, choosing between training in the gym and at home, prefer the latter.

Refusing to visit a sports complex, girls receive many advantages, but independent classes are not complete without disadvantages:

• Possibility of improper exercise. At home, no one controls how correct the technique is. The risk of making mistakes increases if there is no coach nearby. Violation of the technique can lead not only to a decrease in the effectiveness of the lesson, but also cause injury.
• Lack of sufficient training space. Exercise can be interfered with by furniture that does not allow for certain exercises. Residents above the first floor may face dissatisfaction with neighbors, outraged by the noise from running in place and jumping.
• Lack of motivation. The enthusiasm with which some begin training is often short-lived. In order not to lose motivation, you should create for yourself a specific goal - slim figure on the picture glossy magazine, beautiful fashion clothes and so on. Such techniques do not always work, but the fee paid for the subscription is at least a pity.
• No privileges. In many sports complexes gym membership holders are entitled to certain bonuses for visiting the sauna or swimming pool.
• Inability to concentrate. At home, unlike the gym, where the appropriate atmosphere is created, the telephone, TV, Internet, as well as family members, even in the next room, can distract from classes.

These negative moments cannot be denied, but it is possible to avoid it if you tune in correctly, choose the right time, and create motivation.

You don't have to turn your home into a gym. Various improvised objects can act as a persistent platform and bench, for example, a chair, a bed or a curbstone. Weights for arms and legs are also optional.

Minimum set sports equipment will, of course, help the girl to improve the efficiency of her workout:

• Dumbbells. One-piece or collapsible models are chosen weighing 1-5 kg. It all depends on the level of your own physical fitness.
• "Disc of health", rollers for training the press, hoops. These are great tools at hand to help you get a thin waist and flatten your belly.
• Expander. Increases the effectiveness of stretching the pectoral and back muscles, as well as the arms.
• Gymnastic ball. Increases the difficulty of the exercises performed and makes the workout more varied.
• Fitness and yoga mat. Heats the floor surface and increases sound insulation, improves the comfort of the knee stand.

If home workouts are supposed to be carried out regularly, the size of the apartment and the budget allow, you can also purchase exercise equipment - a bicycle, elliptical or treadmill.

The training can be structured according to the following principle:

1. Jog in slow pace- 15 min / jumping rope 5-10 min / active swinging arms and legs to the sides - 20 times (the choice depends on the ability to go outside and the space in the apartment).
2. Turns of the body, tilts of the body to the right and to the left - 20 times.
3. Push-ups from the floor (from knees or straight legs), support surface (edge ​​of a table or bed, ball) or wall - 2 sets of 15 times.
4. Squats "sumo" (deep squat with legs wide apart) - 2-3 sets of 15 times;
5. Back lunges alternately - 2 sets of 15 times.
6. Classic and side crunches of the press - 2 sets of 15 times.
7. Legs "bicycle", "scissors" horizontal and vertical from a supine position - 2 sets of 15-20 times.
8. Stretching: bending to the legs, turning the torso while sitting and standing, "baby pose" until breathing is restored.

To enhance fat burning, they jump rope 50-100 times before warm-up, from 5 to 10 minutes either run in place or twist a hula-hoop.

Home workouts for weight loss will bring maximum effect if you adhere to the following recommendations:

1. One and a half hours or 60 minutes before training, you should eat a portion of protein in the form of chicken, fish or cottage cheese, vegetable salad. You can not eat starchy vegetables, cereals, bread, as well as fruits. These foods are rich in carbohydrates.
2. Immediately after training, you can eat exclusively pure protein with a volume of 100 grams, and after half an hour you can have a snack with fruit or porridge. It is recommended to eat carbohydrates in the afternoon, preferably after 14.00.
3. During training, you should drink clean water without any additives or impurities, and also monitor your heart rate. If the number of beats per minute is more than 120, the intensity is reduced.
4. The optimal duration of all approaches should vary within 30-60 minutes. Pauses between sets are made from 30 to 45 seconds.

To gain a toned, beautiful and relief body, the emphasis is on working with weights and raising muscle tone, and the program can be built from the following exercises:

1. Warm-up in the form of bending the body to the sides and swinging the arms, jumping on the spot - 20-30 times.
2. Further, all the exercises are 2-3 sets of 10-18 times.
3. Squats with dumbbells (feet shoulder width apart and "sumo").
4. Push-ups from a wall, floor, or other surface
5. Lunges of the legs to the sides and back with simultaneous bending of the arms at the elbows. In the hands of dumbbells, the arms are extended when returning to the starting position.
6. Press with dumbbells up while standing, then leaning forward.
7. Rise on socks with dumbbells in hand.
8. Swing legs to the sides with support on a chair.
9. Straight and oblique crunches of the press.
10. Raising fully extended legs lying down (palms under the lower back).
11. Raising the hips lying on the shoulder blades with an emphasis on the heels (legs bent at the knees).
12. Stretching for all muscle groups.

Exercises are performed in 2 or 3 sets with 10-18 repetitions each.

Working on the construction of a relief body involves:

1. An hour or half an hour before the training, they eat any fruit, and after completion - from 100 to 150 grams of protein and vegetables, or drink a protein isolate.
2. The duration of the lesson is 30-40 minutes with pauses between separate sets of 30-60 seconds.
3. If thirsty, they drink water.
4. Dumbbells are recommended to take 3-5 kg.

Reps and sets are increased gradually so that overtraining does not occur.

To achieve good results it is possible without visiting the gym. The main thing is to have a clear motivation and a desire to find harmony and a beautiful relief body, depending on what ultimate goal is pursued, and also adhere to the following recommendations:

• never hold your breath, inhale through your nose while moving and weights and the body down, and exhale through your nose on the rise;
• the regularity of classes implies a frequency of two to four times a week, and on days free from training, spending time for walks and games in the air;
• when planning a training schedule, it should be borne in mind that food after a full meal should be digested, and best time for classes, the periods between 11.00-13.00 and 17.00-19.00 are considered;
• adhere to a balanced diet;
• the lack of results or an increase in weight is characteristic of the second half of the menstrual cycle, so at this time you should not worry about the results;
• girls should concentrate on training their hips, strength, abs, but not the shoulder girdle;
• all waist exercises should be done without dumbbells as weights stimulate lateral muscle development.

An ideal figure is not always a gift from nature, but even if you are lucky enough to be the owner of a gorgeous body, it still needs support with the help of uniform loads on all muscle groups. On some problem areas that almost every person has, the load can be more severe. A correctly selected set of exercises in a short period of time can create an even load on the whole body.

Exercises for all muscle groups with dumbbells

1. Lunges that involve the muscles of the shoulders, arms, back, legs, and buttocks. We take dumbbells and take a straight standing position. Inhale and lunge diagonally onto the leg, bend over and, straining the press, dynamically press the left hand to the chest. We make a lunge with the other leg. We do 10 repetitions.
2. Side lunges for the muscles of the arms, chest, abs, and thighs. In a standing position, we stretch our arms forward, tighten the buttocks and press. We carry out a step wide to the side, while turning the toe and torso in the same direction.
3. Squats where all muscles work. We accept a standing position, hands down. While inhaling, we squat, giving the position of the pelvis, as if you are trying to sit down. Exhale, while lifting on toes, pressing to the shoulders bent arms... The exercise is performed 10 times.
4. Push ups. We accept the lying position, while focusing on the knees and palms, then straightening the arms while lifting the knees off the floor, lifting right leg... Then we take the starting position. We carry out for each leg 10 times.

Exercises for girls at home

The modern world sets such a rapid pace of life that there is not always time to visit the gym. In this case, a group of exercises for all muscle groups for home exercises comes to the rescue. It should also start with a preliminary ten-minute warm-up.

• Exercise bike. Lying on your back, raise your legs bent at the knees above the floor and simulate cycling for 1-2 minutes. You need to do it in two approaches. The lower the legs are to the floor, the more effective the result will be.
• Push ups. In the starting position on the floor, we stand in the palm of our hand, bending our knees. Straightening your arms, raise one leg, return to the starting position and do the same with the other leg. We perform 8 times in three approaches.
• For the arm muscles, it is best to add various exercises with dumbbells. For a start, you can use a weight of 1 kg. In a standing position, we put our hands forward, placing them parallel to the floor, while inhaling, we raise them and lower them as we exhale. In the second exercise, we raise our hands at shoulder level, hold them for 15–20 seconds. Exercises need to be done 15 times in two approaches.
• For the buttocks and legs. Squats with a narrow and wide spacing of legs, with an inclined and even body, are suitable. It is important not to put weight on your knees when doing this.

Doing workouts at home for girls in a comfortable and familiar environment is much more enjoyable than going to the gym. It is necessary to give the body an adequate and regular load, and in a couple of months the first results will appear.

The fast pace of life leaves almost no time for personal space. Home, family, work or school make girls push their dreams of a slim and fit body into the background. Financial difficulties or lack of time prevents you from going to the gym. But even in such a situation, you should not despair, because you can successfully train at home.

It is only necessary to allocate 30-40 minutes a day to improve your figure, and the result will be an elastic and resilient body. For practicing at home, regularity, following a workout plan and rest is important.

What muscle groups to pump?

Overweight girls during training should not focus on certain groups muscles. The muscles of the whole body should be pumped, thus uniform burning of the fat layer is ensured. The workout should begin with a warm-up, in which all muscle groups must be prepared for the load. This is followed by the aerobic part, no matter what the exercises are. The main thing is the intensity and preparation of the heart for a power load.

At normal weight, it is recommended to start pumping the muscles of the arms. To do this, you can use an expander and 2 kg dumbbells. And when doing push-ups in the supine position, the pectoral and dorsal muscles are strengthened in parallel. The most difficult thing is to pump the press, for it is important not only a regular load, but also its gradual increase. The upper abdominal muscles are perfectly swayed by lifting the upper body from a prone position.

An effective exercise for the lower press: lying on the floor, simultaneously raise both legs. In this case, you can not lower your legs to the floor, maintaining the tension of the press. The muscles of the legs swing most easily, they are used to being in good shape and ready for serious stress. Therefore, regular squats can be done with weights. And if you still put on a backpack full of books, you can strengthen your back.

What is important for beginners to know?

Workouts at home should not be treated as exhausting hard labor. It is better to set yourself up in a positive way, and strive to do the exercises with pleasure. After all, playing sports will not only improve appearance, and will save you from extra pounds, but also allow you to feel lightness and confidence in own forces... Girls who are just starting to get involved in training should not immediately overload the muscles. You need to start with light exercises, bringing the execution technique to automatism. And only after that, do more approaches, increasing the load.

Often, beginners make the mistake of making the possible training result disappear. We are talking about neglect of training. If you have already made a decision to go in for sports, then the training plan should be adhered to. In this case, there is no place for laziness and bad mood, which is most often the reason for missing classes.

You should allocate only 3-4 hours a week, to be productively engaged in certain days and a slender body is provided. Playing sports without proper nutrition and water balance is wasted time. For more self-confidence, beginners are advised to write down workouts in a notebook, displaying the exercises done, the number of exercises and approaches in it.

Warm-up technique

It is important to warm up your muscles and joints well when doing a warm-up. Carry out a complex of rotational movements with each part of the body. Start at the shoulders, elbows and hands, and end knee joints and feet. Also, do not forget to warm up your back and lower back: bending to the side and rotating the body.
