Add Curves to Your Body... Now!
It's time to say good bye to rake thin and add on curves to your body. Do not be
afraid to lift some weight and cut back on the
cardio. Round
shoulders and
hips
are in so, focus on some shoulder work and tightening the tush to help bring out
firm curves. Woman with curvy
body
types are balanced beauties who fill out a bikini top and bottom.
The best way to achieve the curves is to work with your natural assets by
enhancing them with the right workouts.
Partake in some form of cardiovascular exercise to
burn fat. Aim for 45 minutes of cardio and work out interval-style, in which
you alternate back and forth between high and low intensity.
Running, spinning,
jumping rope, elliptical training,
rowing and step
aerobics are all effective forms of cardio. Work out three days a week,
alternating days with weight training.
To build well-defined shoulder, choose exercises such as side shoulder
raises using dumbbells and overhead
shoulder press. Incorporate these 1-2 times per week for 3-4 sets of 10
using a moderate weight. Go slow, watch form very carefully and make sure to use
a weight a little lighter than when you do regular overhead shoulder work.
Leg
or rather the lower body workout includes training the butt, thigh, calves
and toes. Outer thigh, glute targeting exercises will help with the hips and
firm booty-Lift-off
Lunges,
squats and step-ups. Cables are an excellent tool for abduction but only if
you apply the form correctly, otherwise use a machine which does outer thigh
training so that you have the help with form by apparatus. Choose 3-4 exercises
for this area working on a pyramid for higher and lower reps while varying the
weight from light to heavy and back to light.
Turning your toes in for
leg press and
leg extension exercises will help bring out your outer quads. This same idea
of toe angle training applies to calves for bringing out the round shape on the
outer lower limb. Vary heavy and lower rep with moderate and higher rep to
really shock the calves. To really show a good symmetry you have to pay
attention to all these areas.
To train the Lats you can try assisted pullup machines, or if you
have the strength then do regular pull-ups. Lat pulls are also helpful but to
really draw down the lat accent you should also do standing
lat pushdowns or supine wide pullovers with straight arms, not a good choice
if you are straight waisted.
Diet,
no doubt needs to be an integral part of any training program. You�ll need to
keep the carbs,
unhealthy
fats,
and alcohol to a minimum. Eat foods that are low in fat and can boost your
energy levels, such as lean beef, chicken breasts, fish, leafy greens, fruits,
vegetables, oats, whole grain bread, beans and low-fat dairy products. Drink
water instead, which will also hydrate your system and help flush out
toxins.
Avoid beverages such as beer, wine, mixed drinks, soda, sweet teas, fruit punch
and dessert coffees. Stop eating foods with little nutrient value such as cheese
fries, burgers, wings, caramel crunch popcorn, chocolate chip cookies and
meatball hoagies.
Studies show that people who
skip breakfast and eat fewer times during the day tend to be heavier than
people who eat a healthy breakfast and eat four or five times a day, according
to the National Institutes of Health, or NIH. You decide.
These are just a few tips. When these hints are applied you will see
yourself shape into a hot curvy babe in no time. Stars like, Shakira &
Beyonce, work hard to slim down their
waistline and define their curves.
Remember, a knockout body is all about perception and illusion.
