Slim Thicc Workout for Beginners
Hey guys, welcome back! Today's blog post was highly requested and I'm finally making it! I'm going to tell you guys my secret of being slim thicc. This workout consists of focusing on getting a small waist and getting a big bum and is too long to talk about in 1 post, so if you guys want to know how to get a bigger bum then let me know. This post will be on how to get a smaller waist/flat stomach!
An advantage to this workout is that you can do this at home and so if you're not comfortable with the gym yet then feel free to do it wherever you're comfortable.
How is working out related to self-care?
Self-care is all about improving yourself, having more energy and enjoying events in your life and just being satisfied with life in general. Working out is an important part of self-care as you're implementing exercise into your daily routine in order to take care of your mind and your body. Seeing the difference after working out for a while can lead to such a positive impact on your mind and well-being! It is so motivating.Reminder that you can't change your body shape BUT you can improve it!
I do 3 sets of 12 reps. If this is too hard or too easy for you then obviously feel free to customise it! Also, I would like to add that this is not my only workout routine: I do some cardio and I also dance, so outcomes may be different. I would like to confess that sometimes, I don't even work out because I'm too busy with life.
ANYWAYYYYY
First things first, STRETCH.
You need to stretch A LOT. Stretch before, in between every exercise, and after your workout. This helps to loosen up your muscles and helps reduce the chances of injuries.
Cross-Body Plank
So first exercise is the cross-body plank position on your hands and feet. Then cross your knees to the other side of your shoulder. This really works on your sides.
After your sets, lie on your stomach and stretch like this:
Plank Hip Dips
Get in the elbow plank position and dip your hip from one side to the other.
This really challenges a lot of part of your body. It helps strengthen your abs, obliques, lower back, and, of course, cuts down the size of your waist.
Once again, once you've finished the 3 sets, stay in the elbow plank position for 30 seconds.
When you're done stretch again.
Elbow Twists Plank
Get in a side plank position on your elbow and lift your elbow upside and then twist it to the floor:
Once you've done 3 sets on one side, stay in that side plank position for 30 seconds. Then get on the other side and do another 3 sets of 12 elbow twists and then 30 seconds of side plank position.
Then stretch your sides.
Crunches
Now, lie on your back and lift your shoulder and head off the floor, put your hands behind your head and lift towards your knees and then lower (without touching the floor):
Finish your 3 sets and then stretch your stomach.
Russian Twists (without equipment)
Next, sit up halfway, close your hands in front of you and twist side to side.
When you've done the 3 sets, stay in that position, put your closed hands in front of you and pulse (in the same way you do crunches, but sitting halfway up) for 3 sets of 12.
When you're done, stretch your sides.
Curl and Lift Crunch
I don't know what this exercise is called.
Lie down and put your hands behind your head with your head, shoulders and legs slightly lifted off the floor. Then pull your lengthened legs into you like this:
Don't forget to stretch after!
Crunch and Flutter Kicks
Stay in the same position, but instead of pulling your legs in, you are putting one leg over the other:
After you do your 3 sets, keep your leg lengthened and hold that position for 30 seconds!
If you've reached here then! WELL DONE! You've completed the workout! Unless you just read through it lol. So yeah that's you! Remember the 70/30 rule, if you want a smaller waist etc, it is really 70% diet and 30% exercise, so don't forget about what you're eating also. Try to eat healthily and hopefully you'll start to see results!
If you guys want to watch a video during your workouts, I recommend blogilates on youtube. She's so inspiring and motivating and makes you want to continue your workout despite the pain lol.
