Just try it and you will know how powerful yoga is!

For celebrities, if they don't have good looks, they can make up for it with a good figure. Having a slim and agile figure is a shortcut to standing out from the crowd. For example, Yuan Shanshan has changed everyone's opinion of her with her abs. And Liu Tao, who is already a married woman, probably spends most of her time in the gym exercising. Among them, there is a sport that is favored by many celebrities, namely yoga. For example, Sun Li, who became famous for her role as Zhen Huan, sometimes posts photos of herself doing yoga on Weibo, which further proves her love for yoga. Therefore, friends who want to exercise their abs and small waists can refer to the following yoga exercises, which may have better results.

1. The first exercise for waistline

First, prepare a water bottle. During the movement, keep your back straight, extend your left foot backward, and at the same time use your left hand to lift the water bottle and extend it horizontally. Then slowly retract your left hand and left foot. Please start by completing 5 sets on one side in a row, and then progress to 15 sets on one side based on your personal condition; switch sides after completing one side.

Vest line exercise second style:

Start with a plank, raising your hips slightly to protect your back and knees. At the beginning of the movement, use the strength of your lower abdomen and thighs to pull your knees in towards your abdomen. Be careful not to pull your knees past your waist.

The third exercise for vest line:

The third set of movements is very similar to the second set of movements, the main difference is that the torso will rotate slightly during the movement. The focus of the movement is to bring the left knee towards the right shoulder and the right knee towards the left shoulder, which can strengthen the side abdominal muscles. Remember to do the movements slowly and really use your abdominal muscles to drive the whole movement.

Vest line exercise fourth style:

Also start with the plank movement, control the strength of your whole body to keep your body straight, raise one hand like pulling a bow and arrow, the movement does not need to be too big, but please try to maintain your body balance, alternate between the left and right sides. This exercise can train the upper abdominal muscles.

Vest line exercise fifth style:

Start with a plank, use your abdomen to control the movement, and while paying attention to your balance, slowly stretch your arms in front of your eyes to the same level as your shoulders. It is important to use the strength of your core muscles throughout the entire process, and do not extend your torso forward along with your arms.

In fact, no kind of training can be the best way to get six-pack abs.

2. Mermaid’s Belly

In the same way, too many sit-ups can affect flexibility in yoga. Therefore, you should still try to develop both abdominal strength and flexibility. The following set of movements is more soothing, helping you to really develop the mermaid muscles that are essential for the beach.

1. Cat pose

You may be embarrassed to show off your buttocks, but this will allow you to easily and perfectly complete the back muscle, shoulder core muscle exercises.

Action essentials:

Get on all fours, eyes fixed on the floor, neck relaxed. Breathe in, arch your spine upward, and as you exhale, lift your calves, lower your back, lift your neck, and look forward.

2. Boat pose

This is a classic Pilates exercise for the rectus abdominis. If Full Boat is too difficult, try bending your knees or supporting your upper body with your hands.

Action essentials:

Sit on the yoga mat, gently lean your upper body back, breathe slowly, and bring your legs together and lift them up. Your legs should be at a 45° angle to the ground. Beginners can bend their knees. Hold for 15 to 30 seconds, rest and repeat.

3. Side panels

Classic yoga abdominal exercise.

Action essentials:

Support your body sideways and balance with your hands. If you are supporting yourself with your left hand, use your right foot; if you are supporting yourself with your right hand, use your left foot. Hold for 15-30 seconds and then switch sides (If you don’t understand the picture, ask Xiao Feiyu, this action is so strange to describe!)

4. Basic contraction

Although there are quite a few sit-ups that can tighten the rectus abdominis and reduce flexibility. But this classic sport still has its benefits. Make sure your neck supports your head.

Action essentials:

Lie flat on your back with your legs bent. Place your palms behind your head with your elbows pointing outward. As you inhale, bring your sternum and thighs into contact and your knees and forehead into contact. When you exhale, return to lying down (remember to bend your legs). Repeat 10 to 15 times.
