Yana Verlovitskaya, instructor of group programs of the federal network of fitness clubs X-Fit: “This set of exercises for the hips is optimally selected: only 4 approaches, but they involve the main muscle groups of this zone, working through which you will really achieve a beautiful relief. The main task when doing exercises is to work not so much for quantity as for quality. Do not strive to do as many repetitions as possible, the main thing is the correct technique and quality of movements. And to help yourself, be sure to imagine which muscles are involved in the work and how you feel when doing this or that exercise. “
Today is the training program for the first three weeks. Read about the second stage of the program on March 17.

How to choose your ball size:
Below 155cm = 45cm
155-171 cm = 55 cm
171-186 cm = 65 cm
187-200 cm = 75 cm
2) Chair with back, wall or window sill to hold onto.
Exercise technique
The pace of execution: ascending, slowly count to three, descending – just as slowly, count to five. Pause for 1 minute between sets.
Breathing during execution: during the ascent / greatest tension, exhale, while returning to the starting position / relaxation, inhale.
To make the exercises as regular and as effective as possible, try to do not only at home, but also in the gym: the trainer, if necessary, will correct the exercise technique and give useful recommendations, and observing the clear results of those who train with you in the gym will XNUMX% increase your motivation.
