A set of hip-opening exercises to lift the buttocks and slim the legs, quickly eliminate toxins from the body, and restore youthful, radiant skin!
With toxins lingering in the body, no amount of skincare products will be effective. Beware of excessive chemical substances that can lead to skin damage. To maintain delicate and elastic skin, it’s essential to detoxify the body, which is more effective than any skincare product and has no side effects. Today, let’s practice a set of classic hip-opening exercises together, which can quickly burn body fat, help tighten the buttocks and leg muscles, sculpt perfect curves, and rapidly expel toxins and waste, preventing dull skin, acne, dark spots, and other skin issues.
1. Single Leg Wheel
The single leg wheel begins with the practitioner in the wheel pose, extending both hands to support on the ground, arching the body upward, bending the knees slightly to the sides, and touching the ground with the toes of one foot while the other leg is lifted and straightened. Throughout the practice, keep the abdominal muscles tightened, push the thoracic spine forward, stretch the thigh muscles, let the spine sink down, curve the back into an arc, and tilt the neck backward. If the practitioner feels discomfort in the neck, avoid tilting it back.
This pose requires the practitioner to support the torso with both hands and legs, and is one of the classic supporting poses. It is very effective in strengthening the spine, can effectively stretch the back, chest, hips, and legs, beautifying muscle lines, stretching the abdominal muscles, stimulating intestinal peristalsis, promoting digestion, helping to expel toxins from the body, flattening the abdomen, and addressing skin issues such as sallow skin and acne.
Pose points:
The practitioner lies on the ground with their back pressed against the floor, legs slightly opened to the sides, feet flat on the ground, heels touching the floor, elbows bent, palms on the ground beside the torso, fingers pointing downward, bending the knees and drawing the heels towards the back of the thighs, lifting the knee joints upward, engaging the abdominal muscles, tightening and lifting the buttocks, exerting force through the arms, arching the torso upward until both hands and legs are straight, forming a wheel-shaped posture. Adjust the posture, slightly bend the knees, extend the left leg up while keeping it straight, tilt the neck back, and maintain breathing for 15-30 seconds.
2. Horse Riding Stretch
The horse riding stretch is a standing yoga pose that requires the practitioner to open the legs front and back as much as possible to open the hips, squatting down into a horse riding position. During the practice, open the chest, keep the spine upright, retract the shoulder blades, and while squatting, tighten the buttocks inward. Bend the front knee to keep the thigh as parallel to the ground as possible, with the knee of the back leg touching the ground.
This pose emphasizes opening the hips and can strengthen core leg muscles, beautify leg lines, work the abdominal muscles, promote blood circulation in the pelvis, effectively expel toxins from the body, and slim the waist.
Pose points:
The practitioner starts from the mountain pose, straightens the spine, gazes straight ahead, engages the abdominal muscles, takes a step forward with the right leg, tightens and lowers the buttocks, squats down to create a lunge with the right leg while keeping the right thigh parallel to the ground, with the left knee touching the ground and the left toes pointing down. The hands rest naturally at the sides of the body, the chin is retracted, and the practitioner’s back may curve slightly backward to maintain balance for 30 seconds.
The above set of hip-opening yoga poses not only can lift the buttocks and slim the legs, but also effectively promotes blood circulation in the pelvis, helps to expel toxins from the body, and restores youthful, rosy skin, making you feel younger and more beautiful. Doesn’t that sound tempting? Then it’s time to take action!
