3 home workouts for ladies to maintain their body shape & burn calories accumulated this Christmas - Gist Cent

Christmas comes with a lot of enjoyment and, as such, people get to accumulate calories due to heavy consumption of carbohydrates like rice. This mostly affects women because their dresses no longer fit properly as a result of weight gain. 

If you're a lady and also on this table, kindly relax as I introduce to you three home workouts to maintain your body shape and burn all the calories accumulated this Christmas. One interesting aspect of these three exercises is that they can be done in any room of the house and produce fantastic results.

Skipping

If you want to burn many calories in a short time, then you should use a skipping rope as it has a lot of benefits for the whole body. For an average-sized person, jumping rope might burn more than 10 calories a minute.

Jumping rope also comes with a lot of benefits, aside from burning calories. It helps to improve your heart health, increase your concentration, increase stamina, get rid of fatigue, boost mental health and strengthen your bones. 

Plank

Plank exercise puts your entire body to work. It’s most vital for the abdominals. While in the gym, my coach always encourages us to do more planking because it's almost the same thing as push-up exercise. It might make you feel uncomfortable for a minute, but trust me, the results are great. 

Here's how it's done: Get down on the floor on your elbows and toes. Your elbows should be bent and directly below your shoulders. Keep the body straight while holding on to the position. 

Crunches

Most women don't like it when their tummies are big. It keeps them out of shape and also affects their choice of dresses. To remedy this, performing crunch exercises will undoubtedly help to work on your tummy and keep you in shape.

Crunching is a traditional exercise for stronger abs. Lie flat on your back with your knees bent and your feet flat on the floor. Keep your feet apart. Keep your hands at the base of your head with your elbows pointed out. Bring your head and shoulders off the floor using your abs and go back to the position with control.

A combination of the above mentioned workouts daily with food portion control will surely keep you in shape and help burn all the calories accumulated this Christmas. If you have other workout routines that might be helpful, kindly share them using the comment box below. Thanks for reading.
