Three Workouts to Target Trouble Spots

If the olympics aren't getting you motivated to get in peak shape, then we're not sure what will. If you have been inspired by the athletes honed physiques then here's some pointers to help you get towards your dream body...

3 workouts to target your trouble spots without even leaving your home from the experts at Matt Gleed Personal Training.

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. If you would like to get into a physical routine please contact [email protected]
