There's no question of standing still when faced with sagging skin! To firm up your skin, try these simple and effective home exercises.
1. The lawnmower
Position: with your right leg slightly bent and on the balls of your feet, lean on a chair with your left hand and bend over, keeping your back straight. In the right hand, take a dumbbell and extend the arm, at the same level as the left arm.
Movement: the exercise is similar to the starting movement of a lawnmower. Stretch your arm back without moving your shoulders and return to the starting position.
Duration of the sequence: 3 sets of 10 movements are recommended. Change arms after each set.
2. Wrist rotation
Position: Take two dumbbells or, if you don't have them, two water bottles. Sitting or standing with your back straight and shoulders clear, reach forward with a weight in each hand.
Movement: make sure to keep your arms straight and if possible, contract them. Rotate your wrists back and forth, alternately. You should feel your muscles working.
Duration of the sequence: this simple exercise can be performed daily, five minutes a day.
3. Arm extension flexion
Position: Take a mat and a broomstick or elastic band. Lie down on the floor. Bring your legs slightly bent toward your upper body and cross them at the ankles. Hands should be parallel to your shoulders. Extend your arms upward.
Movement: Bring your forearms toward your forehead, bending them slowly. Then bring them back up. Keep your arms and shoulders still.
Duration of the sequence: 2 sets of 15 flexions - extensions are recommended.
4. Prayer with a dumbbell
Position: Take a dumbbell or a water bottle. Stand up straight with your shoulders clear and bend your legs slightly. Contract your buttocks and tilt your pelvis slightly forward. Hold the dumbbell in both hands and raise your arms straight up over your head.
Movement: bend your forearms back and return to the starting position. Again, the arms stay still.
Duration of the sequence: 2 sets of 20 flexions - extensions are recommended.
5. Beautiful biceps
Position: Take a dumbbell or a water bottle with you. Sitting with your chest slightly forward, spread your legs. Your right elbow rests on the inside of your right thigh. The left-hand takes support on the thigh, in order to give more stability.
Movement: dumbbell in the right hand, bring back the forearm at the level of the shoulder then return to the starting position.
Duration of the sequence: 2 series of 20 flexions - extensions are recommended. Change arms after each set.
