Losing weight The Pin Twins cardio exercises to lose weight and tone the body
The personal trainers Esther and Gema Pineda, Pin Twins, propose an intense routine of five exercises and three series if I rest to activate the heart and burn fat
PM1:14Cardio. Five exercises. Three series. Without a rest. The Pin Twins want to end the laziness that always accompanies the end of the holidays and the return to the routine with a cardio board capable of activating and “putting the batteries” to the most lazy person. When it comes to exercising, as they say, the important thing is that each one looks for their own motivation: to be healthy, to regain muscle tone after months of little activity, to lose weight, to feel more energy, to stop getting bored … Anything goes!
The Pin Twins, who have more than 86.300 followers on Instagram, design an exercise routine each week at ABC Bienestar to work two or three days a week. In the last installment they proposed a table of exercises to strengthen the arms and upper body and thus prevent back pain, also typical of these dates, while in the previous one they threw us the challenge of choosing between their three routines to strengthen the buttocks more views of the season to tone that area, one of which is considered more “difficult”.
This week they propose an intense cardio routine without rest, composed of five exercises (with one minute of work time each) that will have to be repeated for three series. Without a rest? Yes, without rest. Take a breath and… We begin.
Exercise 1: Imaginary ladder
We will start standing, with our legs open to the width of the shoulders and slightly bent, and then take small and quick lateral opening and closing steps. Remember to keep up. The movements should be fast and fluid. Your back and head should remain upright and you can place your arms bent and tensioned at chest level, with the tips of your fingers slightly meeting, or loosely but bent, if that is more comfortable for you. We will repeat the movement for 1 minute.
Exercise 2: Knee to chest and jump
To perform the exercise we will start from the initial position. Standing, looking to the left, we will launch the bent leg from the front trying to bring it closer to the chest, then we will lower the leg and make a vertical jump with the legs together. We will repeat the operation but looking to the right. We will launch the bent leg trying to bring it closer to the chest and then we will lower it and make a vertical jump with the legs together and again to the other side. We will repeat the exercise for 1 minute.
Exercise 3: Long jump and skipping
We will start from the standing position and we will make a long jump with the legs open to the width of the shoulders and then, maintaining the position, we will take another long jump trying to go further. Then we will return to the starting position doing “skipping” to do another two long jumps again. We will do the exercise for 1 minute.
Exercise 4: Front and back kick
To perform this exercise we will stand up and launch a front kick with the left leg and then a back kick with the right leg, holding on to the other leg during the movement. We will do the exercise for 1 minute in total.
Exercise 5: Isometric Boxing Squat
To perform this exercise we will sit in a squat position, maintaining the position and perform boxing movements as if we were trying to dodge the blows, to one side and the other, with small bounces and with the arms bent, gathered at chest height. We will do the exercise for a minute.
For this exercise routine to have results, the Pin Twins remember that the important thing is the constancy and the regularity. To begin activating the body, they propose doing this table two or three times a week and combining it with other routines, in addition to performing a daily physical activity (running, walking, cycling, climbing stairs…).
