3 steps to a firmer figure
Burn Fat
The diet plan is low in calories, but it?s not too low that your metabolism will slow down and go into ?starvation mode?. Plus it?s filling thanks to loads of low GI (glycaemic index) foods like wholegrains, fruit and vegetables.
Tone Muscles
Firm and tone muscles don?t just look better; they act like a built-in pair of ?magic knickers? to hold you in. Plus resistance exercises, like those in this plan, help to further boost your metabolic rate, so you burn more calories even when you?re resting.
Beat Cellulite
Even the slimmest of us can suffer from ?orange-peel skin? and this plan includes tips to help with cellulite removal. Plus you will be filling up with fruits and vegetables rich in vitamin-C which help you to produce collagen, your skin?s natural firming agent.
Exercises that fight the wobble
Chair squat to tone those thighs: ?With your feet hip-width apart, toes forward and hands on hips, stand in front of an upright chair. Pull in your stomach and lower your bottom until it?s almost, but not quite, touching the chair. Immediately stand up, slowly. Repeat 10 times.
The twister to whittle that waist: Sit upright in a chair with your feet slightly apart and flat on the floor. Put your fingertips on your shoulders, hold your stomach muscles tensed, and slowly turn your shoulders, arms and head as if you are looking over your shoulder. When?you?ve?reached as far round as is comfortable, slowly rotate to the other side and then return to your starting position. Repeat 10 times.
Donkey kicks to blitz that bum: Get down on your hands and knees and stretch out one leg behind you. Bend that knee and kick up slowly, feeling the squeeze in your buttock muscles. Return to your starting position and repeat 10 times. Then repeat for the other leg.
Cat arch to tighten that tum: Kneel on all fours, hands pointing forwards. Take a deep breath, then gradually exhale, arching your back like a cat. Hold the position for 10 seconds with stomach pulled in, then slowly sink down to your starting position. Repeat 10 times.
Your secret belly-busting weapon?
Drink at least two cups of green tea daily. A study of slimmers who were following a low-calorie diet and exercise plan found that they lost significantly more belly fat when they also drank green tea.
Did you know our Feiyan Tea contains green tea and regular intake of this tea helps improve your metabolism, reduces bloatedness, suppress your appetite, detoxify your body and gets rid of extra fat.
