Korean stars practice ballet stretching exercises crazily! 10-minute hip lift exercise to create hip curves

Choi Ji-woo opened the door and walked into our ballet studio. She didn't say anything at first, she just stood by and observed. The beautiful goddess has arrived! Wow~~! Just by standing there quietly, there was a shining light behind her and a halo around her, which made people so amazed that they couldn't close their mouths! That’s why her fans call her “Princess Jiyou”! .

Choi Ji-woo is over 170 cm tall, with a slender figure. "Beautiful" is not enough to praise her. She looks very elegant and beautiful. She is truly a living goddess!

I was both excited and looking forward to taking classes with her because her every move, thought, gesture, smile, and expression exuded a natural elegance. Choi Ji-woo studied ballet when she was a child, so she has a certain degree of basic skills. She wants to have the elegant curves and a more flexible body like a ballerina to make her expressiveness richer.

First of all, for her shoulder lines, we need to focus on adjusting the stretch of the shoulders and arms; if we want to emphasize the straight and slender waist curve seen from behind, we need to strengthen the stretch of the waist side curve.

Strengthening the side curves of the waist is harder than I thought. Even I don’t often exercise the muscles here, and I feel sore when I occasionally stretch them. To maintain body balance, the waist and abdomen need to be very strong, and many movements also require muscle endurance. Therefore, many people cannot help but whine when they do stretching exercises because of the extreme pain: "Ouch, ouch!"

Or they ask painfully, "Can you please not do this anymore?" and gradually reveal an expression of pain and gnashing teeth. But no matter how difficult the movements are, Choi Ji-woo always keeps a smile on her face when doing stretching exercises.

She is truly an amazing student, and I have learned a lot from her. I can’t help but sigh in my heart that she is truly a superstar! Choi Ji-woo always has a smile on her face, but she has a will of steel. She told me that it’s not that she doesn’t feel pain, but she thinks: “Although it will hurt for a while, the pain is to make my body better. I just need to endure this period of time. Since it cannot be avoided, I will just enjoy the pain!” She is absolutely right.

This is the pain that comes from making your body better. It will not last endlessly. This painful period will definitely pass. As long as you get used to it, the days of being pain-free and comfortable will come. In fact, we often hear the phrase "If you can't avoid it, just enjoy it", but it is very difficult to actually put it into practice.

But Choi Ji-woo did it! From then on, whenever I feel tired or exhausted during class or personal practice, I will think of this sentence, and it makes me smile more. It’s amazing how when you say it hurts, it hurts more, but if you put on a smile, it seems to hurt less! Choi Ji-woo is indeed both smart and beautiful!

Is Choi Ji-woo also worried about her increasing age? Although she seems to be getting more and more beautiful, I still feel curious sometimes. Choi Ji-woo said, "Don't joke!" Of course, she is also concerned about her aging and the loss of skin elasticity, and often wants to do some cosmetic surgery to restore her youth. But she said that in order to calm her impatience, she would rather maintain her age-appropriate beauty in the most natural way.

If I were to mention another advantage of Choi Ji-woo's figure, it is that her lower body is really slender, and her pelvic skeleton is also beautiful. After she trained her shoulder curve, her shoulders and pelvis are already balanced, and now she can just start doing stretching to maintain the state.

Be careful not to have excess fat around your waist and make your hips curve perfectly. If the muscles are tight, focus on hip movements after doing the side curves.

Hip lift exercise

① Bend your knees and let your calves stand upright in a figure 11 position, with your heels slightly against your buttocks.

② Use the strength of your hips to push your pelvis upwards as far as possible.

③ Lower your hips but do not let them touch the floor, then immediately lift them up again. Repeat 30 times.

④Lift your hips and maintain this position for 10 seconds.

⑤-⑦ Move your legs slightly forward, still in an upright position, and lift your hips in the same way. Repeat 30 times, and then maintain the hip lift for 10 seconds.

⑧-⑨ Lift your heels and do the hip-lifting movement. Repeat 30 times and maintain the hip-lifting position for 10 seconds.

Note: When lowering your legs, do not release the strength all at once, but tighten your hips.
