You don’t always need to lace up your trainers to work your muscles, ladies! Today, we’re sharing our 5 little exercises you can do anywhere: in front of your laptop, waiting for the bus, watching your favourite series or lying on the sofa… You’ll see — getting active has never been this easy!
Good to know: of course, these little exercises aren’t magic. They fit into a broader routine, alongside a varied diet, more complete workout sessions and pinch-and-roll massages. Practised every day, they’re a little boost to help you move more and take care of your body day to day!
When you’re standing up…
Waiting for the metro, queuing for your lunch or lining up outside the cinema? Make the most of it with the first of our little exercises! Simply stand up straight, then squeeze your glutes as hard as you can. Try to hold for at least 30 seconds, release, then repeat. This move works your entire bottom… Easy, right?
When you’re lying down…
Stretched out on your bed or sofa? Time to sneak in one of our little exercises! Take a deep breath in, draw your navel in as far as possible — as if you’re trying to touch your spine — engage your entire core, and hold for a few seconds. Then breathe out and repeat. This exercise works your abdominal muscles and also gives you a little moment of calm. Handy!
When you’re back from the shops…
When you’ve got shopping bags to carry, take one in each hand, bend your arms and keep them close to your body while pushing your elbows back. Lower and repeat. This way, you’re working your arms, shoulders and back all at once. You can also do this exercise by bending your arms in front of you to target your biceps and triceps even more.
The cupping tool that replicates pinching and rolling, 3 minutes per zone
- The professionals' technique, at home: you lift, glide, and release, and the tool grips the skin fold like a manual pinching and rolling
- Soft silicone that fits thighs, buttocks, stomach, and arms
- 3 minutes per zone, every day, always with a massage oil so the tool glides
When you’re sitting down…
Think about it — so many of us spend a huge amount of time sitting during the day: on public transport in the morning, at the office during the day, in front of the TV in the evening… So let’s use that time to tone our legs! Simply sit up straight with your back tall and your bottom at the back of the seat, then lift your heels off the floor as high as you can, keeping your toes on the ground. Even better — do this with a weight on your knees, like a shopping bag, or even your little one! 😉
When you’re brushing your teeth: the last of our mini exercises
It might sound a little odd, but when you think about it, we spend between 6 and 9 minutes brushing our teeth every day. Those minutes can be used to get some exercise! Get into the habit of doing the wall sit exercise every time you brush. To do it, stand one step away from the wall with your back to it, then “sit” on an invisible chair by pressing your back flat against the wall. Your feet should be hip-width apart and your thighs parallel to the floor. Now all you have to do is engage your abs for the next 3 minutes — without forgetting to actually brush your teeth!
In addition to these little exercises, if you’d like to treat yourself to a massage in just a few minutes a day, the electric slimming massager can quickly become your best ally! Thanks to its vibrating heads, it accompanies your massage sessions, helping you take care of yourself day after day.
