Get rid of those annoying elephant legs! Towel stretching exercises to sculpt your body

Sitting still every day not only makes your buttocks bigger, but your thighs also become looser and looser, becoming the real "elephant legs"! The health-preserving yoga teacher said that it is not difficult to have a pair of well-proportioned legs that everyone envies! Just use the towels that are readily available at home and do two simple and easy-to-learn towel stretching exercises to stretch your leg muscles and sculpt your lower body curves. You can also create slender and well-proportioned legs like a star and show off your "absolute territory"!

Health yoga teacher Sisii said that office workers often sit for 7 or 8 hours. If you sit for long periods of time and lack proper exercise, your leg muscles will lack training, endurance and strength, which is often accompanied by edema and obesity in the lower limbs, making the leg lines look bulky and bloated.

To improve the above problems, health yoga teacher Sisii recommends that female friends who love beauty should not only walk more and increase their daily activities, but also use the spare time at home after work to use towels as auxiliary support tools to perform simple yoga stretching movements to exercise muscles and bones, promote blood circulation, eliminate excess water accumulated in the lower limbs, and achieve the effect of exercising the thigh and abdominal muscles, strengthening the leg lines, and slimming the legs and lifting the buttocks.
