Having an excellent figure is not impossible if you lead a healthy lifestyle, based on diet and exercise. Physical activity will be your main ally to perform miracles in the abdomen, legs and arms, including the worm that will help you improve those parts of your anatomy.
Just like everything in life there are trends, physical activity is not exempt from them, as is the case with the worm exercise, which will surprise you with everything it will do for your abdomen, legs and arms. Without a doubt, it will change your figure.
According to a study published by The National Institute of Health, United States, so that you can define your muscles, it is of the utmost importance that you exert strength while practicing any type of movement. For example, if you decide to walk, try to keep the tension in your abdomen and arms while you do it, to also work them as secondary muscles and not just burn fat.
But, in case you are looking for an exercise that is capable of working all three areas of the body at the same time, the best option is the worm exercise. That to do it you must stand up and face a yoga mat or any that is within your reach but does not slip on the ground.
Then you are going to place the palms of your hands on the ground and ‘walk with them’ until you reach the end of the mat, while you do so, try to maintain tension in your legs, buttocks, arms and abdomen.
Try to practice this movement 10 times and you will notice how the tension in your muscles feels more and more. On the other hand, after two weeks of doing this type of full worm exercise, try holding one position for 10 seconds.
When your hands are in the middle of the mat, that is to say halfway to finish the movement of the worm, keep it like this for 10 seconds, this will help the muscles to tone better.
This type of exercise is quite effective for working these three parts of the body (abdomen, arms and legs), and best of all, it won’t take you long to do it.
In case you want to complement it with some other type of exercise that is also very effective and that you do not need any other type of device or additional object, you can try the plank exercise.
To do it you must place yourself in a push-up position, with the palms of your hands on the ground and the tips of your feet. Then you are going to place your forearm on the ground and make tension in the whole body. Start by trying to hold 20 seconds in this position and as the weeks go by try a few more seconds.
If you combine these two exercises you will notice considerable changes faster than you think and best of all, it will only take you 20 minutes to do them.
