Exercises for a reed bodyYour body is quite "flat" and there is not much distinction between the three curves. Part of the reason is because your body is too thin. You require a full body workout and a reasonable diet to help increase your bust and hips and create curves for your waist. To effectively exercise your whole body, you should go to the gym, where there are the necessary tools to help you develop your three curves most effectively.
Some things to note:
- Exercise machines with many modern devices have fast effects, but must have separate training programs for each body type. If you exercise too much with machines, you will become exhausted, discouraged and will not bring the desired results.
- Aerobic exercises are designed to be fast and continuous, so they are not suitable for people with a history of heart disease, asthma, high blood pressure, or cerebral anemia. In these cases, you should choose exercises with a slow-speed treadmill and not overdo it.
- Women after 3 months of giving birth can start light exercise with a treadmill or exercise with bare hands at a gradually increasing pace to help your body become firmer but cannot regain shape, especially for those who are breastfeeding, the nutritional metabolism in the body is taking place strongly. In particular, women after giving birth should not start with abdominal exercises or abdominal exercise machines because it can stretch and damage abdominal muscles that have not yet fully recovered.
