Bikini body workouts – Watching the likes of Angelina Jolie’s and Selena Gomez achieve a great physique even in their bikinis, might make some ladies go ‘˜envy’ and their men go drooling.
Watching the likes of Angelina Jolie’s and Selena Gomez achieve a great physique even in their bikinis, might make some ladies go ‘envy’ and their men go drooling.
That’s because these ladies waste no time in spending hours at the gym and working out more on their bods rather than the foods.
But not all ladies get time to hit the gyms on a daily basis (chores at home) but there are a few exercises that can get your heart racing, endorphins flowing and kick-start your metabolism and you don’t need to hit the gym as well.
We bring you 6 workouts that can get you arms like Jennifer Lawrence, a bum like Rihanna or legs like a Victoria’s Secret model and finally a better bikini body in time to hit the beaches. So let’s start rolling:
Spiderman lunges
Move into the push-up position before taking up your right leg so it sits just outside your right hand. Return your right foot to the start spot and replicate on the left side. You are now officially a superhero!
Push ups with rotation
Start with a push-up and during the top movement; rotate with one arm off the ground. Then, have your head followed your turning arm, holding at the top of the movement. Thus, maintaining balance, bring down your arm back into the push up position and repeat on the other side of your body.
Jump squats
Just the normal squats but here, try keeping your chest high, bend your knees and let your hips drop. Try to drop the hips slightly beneath the height of your knee but try keeping the chest nice and tall. Drive off the ground forcefully and jump as high as you can.
Up-down plank
Start horizontal with face lying down on the floor. Slowly, rise up onto your feet and elbows and try keeping your core and glutes tough. Then begin the movement by rising up from your elbows to your hands and once you are on them, sustain the position for a couple of seconds and return back to your elbows.
Lateral lunges
In this workout, try maintaining a high chest by taking a small step to the side. Slowly, keep the behind leg straight and shift your body weight to the leg that stepped out. With force, drive off your leg until you are standing tall and if you are making good progress, stepping out further makes this exercise even harder.
Mountain climbers
No, there’s no need to climb a mountain here but assume as one! Start in the push up position with hands a little wider than shoulders. Then, take your left leg off the ground and steer your left knee up towards the left elbow. In a controlling position, return to the start position and repeat on the other side.
