5. Yoga 做瑜伽
It's not just for celebs like Madonna, Yoga can be done by anyone at any level. It's great for toning all over but especially good at toning the belly because of the breathing exercises that are involved, and because it helps your posture--and good posture leads to a flatter tum!
不止是麥當娜這樣的名人可以做,瑜伽是每種水平每個人都適合做的。全身心沐浴在瑜伽中是多么愜意,尤其是對腹部是多么有好處,因為做瑜伽的同時也就是在用腹部做呼吸運動。何況瑜伽運動對訓練體型非常有幫助--擁有美好的體型當然同時就擁有一個平坦的小腹了!
6. Check your posture 檢查你的身體姿勢
To keep your tummy flat you need to keep your back strong too as the band of muscle around your waist also helps support your spine. So stand up straight and keep your back and stomach muscles taut.
想要保持腹部平坦,同時你也要保持背部強壯。因為你腰部周圍的肌肉群同時也支撐你的的脊柱,因此站直了,就能保持你的背部和腹部肌肉緊湊。
7. Crunch and twist 繼續(xù)做仰臥起坐并且扭動身體
Once you've been doing sit-ups for a while you'll notice that they've become a lot easier, don't give up and don't just do more, do them differently instead. Keep your hands by your ears and raise yourself up slowly then twist your body--from the waist, not your back or shoulders--and try to touch your knees with your opposite elbow, i.e. your right elbow comes up and across to touch your left knee. Untwist and go back to your starting position. Repeat on each side 10-15 times.
一旦做仰臥起坐堅持一段時間,你就會發(fā)現做起來簡單多了,不要放棄也不要做得更多,而是換種方式來做。保持你的雙手在耳側,慢慢把身體抬起來,然后,彎曲你的身體——從腰開始,而不是從你的背部或者肩膀-試著用相反方向的胳膊肘去夠你的膝蓋,如此這般,用你的右肘去夠你的左膝。松開還原到你原來的姿勢。重復做,一邊堅持10-15次。
8. Touch your toes 夠腳趾頭
If you're bored of sit-ups, try this exercise instead. Lie on the floor with arms straight up, pointing at the ceiling. Slowly curl yourself up and forward so that your hands are pointing towards your toes--and if you can, touch your toes. Then return to your starting position but do it slowly to stretch the muscles. Repeat 15-20 times.
如果你厭煩了做仰臥起坐,試試這個練習。躺在地板上,雙臂垂直上舉指向天花板。慢慢把自己抬起來,這樣你的手就越來越靠近腳趾——如果你能夠,就夠到腳趾好了。然后恢復到開始的姿勢。但是一定要慢慢做,以便充分地伸展你的肌肉。重復做15-20次。
