Workout that is Called NO SQUATS – Perfect for the Belly, Butt And Thighs

Here is the newest way of shaping up your butt, belly …the workout that  is created by fitness expert Ellen Barrett, star of Prevention’s Flat Belly Diet Workout DVDs.

A simple workout, composed of five moves and  a wall.

How to do:

– do it 4 or 5 times a week.
– repeat 10 slow, controlled reps of each move
– for  faster results, perform 2 sets of each exercise, adding at least 30 minutes of cardio.

Follow the instructions bellow:

1. Wall Bridge

– Starting position

• laying on your back with your butt against the wall, place your arms at your sides.
• plant your feet 3 to 4 feet up the wall,
• bend  your knees and raise your lower and middle back off the floor
• keep your shoulder blades on the floor
• hold this position for a deep inhale, then exhaling
• slowly return to the starting position.

– MAKE IT HARDER -cross your left ankle over your right knee so that only your right foot is on the wall.
– MAKE IT EASIER -without using the wall, just keep your feet flat on the floor as you are lifting into a bridge.

Pairing this workout with a healthy, but filling diet you have chances for the best results, which should aim to lose 5 inches of belly fat in 4 days, and all of that without feeling hungry.
