Top 3 Workouts to Target Trouble Spots

If the New Year wasn't enough to get you motivated to get into peak shape, then we're not sure what will. For those of you hitting the gym, here's some pointers to help you on your journey towards your dream body...

3 workouts to target your trouble spots without even leaving your home:

Stomach
 
If you're looking to get a slim waist and a set of killer abs, sit ups and crunches immediately come to mind. But exercises for your lower abs and obliques should be prioritised. Have a go at V - Sits (sit on the floor with your legs out and bend reaching for your toes with your arms). Also a Side Plank (lay on your side then pop up your hips resting on your elbow and feet)
 
Rear
 
To get a perfect peach you’ll need to be working all the glute muscles. There are many killer techniques that will set you on your way to a better behind; squats, lunges, as well as running, stepping or skipping.
Have a go at Jumping. If you have no knee problems then try using a small obstacle to go over. The work will hit all the leg muscles and watch your heart rate rise as a result.
 
Wings
 
If you shy away from short-sleeved tops, you can banish those bingo wings by targeting your arms doing Triceps Dips. They are one of the best exercises to tone the under-arm wobble and good old fashioned press ups are great for targeting arms, shoulders and the chest.
 
The above exercises should be performed only if you know you are physically capable to do so, if you are unsure you should consult your GP or medical practitioner.
 
Always exercise safely and with a warm up and cooldown, eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly.
