In the 1990s, model Cindy Crawford made several videos in which she taught people how to do exercises for their legs and abs. The ‘Perfect Body in 10 Minutes’ series is very simple and effective. It targets basic muscle groups and requires no special equipment.
Check out the 9 exercises in the series, but don’t forget to warm up before you start. If you’re not used to exercising, don’t forget to talk to your doctor or a personal trainer so you don’t hurt yourself.
1. Squat with knees on the side
Let’s start with the leg workout routine. Place your feet slightly wider than shoulder-width apart, point them out to the sides, and do 10 deep squats. Forcefully push your hips upward. If you want, put your hands on your hips.
2. Advances
Another very simple and effective leg exercise is the forward lunge. Do 10 repetitions with each leg.
3. Squat: sit on a chair
The starting position: feet shoulder-width apart, hands on the waist. Do the squats, but now imagine you are sitting down. The ideal is 10 repetitions.
After this exercise, do 10 more forward lunges.
4. Squats: Feet together
The last cycle of squats: feet together and arms forward. Repeat the movement 10 times.
After this exercise, do 10 more forward lunges.
5. Incomplete push-ups
Let’s move on to exercises for the abdomen and chest. Place your hands a little wider than shoulder-width apart and keep your hips and legs on the floor. Do 2 sets of 10 push-ups.
6. Incomplete trunk elevation
Knees bent and hands behind your head. Raise your torso 20 times without lifting your middle back off the floor.
7. Complete trunk lift
Knees bent and arms stretched over the head. Perform the full torso lift. Repeat the movement 20 times.
8. Exercise for the abdomen
Try to reach your left knee with your right elbow. Meanwhile, the left hand must remain on the floor. Do 20 reps and switch sides.
