Box Gap

So I was looking at myself in the mirror and I noticed that I had a box gap. YAY! A lot of my family  members and friends ask me how I got a box gap so I thought I would tell you guys as well.

  • Jogging 
  • Remember to eat healthy 
  • Do heaps of cardio 
  •  drink heaps of water 
  • Side Lunge Slide
    Stand with feet hip-width apart, left foot resting on a paper plate.
    Bend the right leg while sliding the left foot to the side, torso
    upright and abs in. Slowly slide left foot back to starting position,
    repeating 8-12 times. Switch legs and repeat for 2-3 sets.

  • Lunge Slide
    Stand with feet hip-width apart, left foot resting on a paper plate.
    Bend the right leg while sliding the left foot back into a lunge
    position, keeping the right knee behind the toe, torso upright and abs
    in. Slowly slide left foot back to starting position and repeat 8-12
    times. Switch legs and repeat on each leg for 2-3 sets.

  • Front One-Legged Squat
    Stand on a step or small platform. Lift left leg out in front of step
    and bend the right leg, bringing the toe of the left foot to the
    floor. Touch the floor lightly and keep the knee of the bent leg in
    line with toes. Straighten the right leg and repeat 8-12 times. Switch
    legs and repeat for 2-3 sets.

  • Chair Squat
    Stand in front of a chair with feet hip-width apart, abs in and torso
    straight. Slowly bend your knees and lower and until you're almost
    touching your butt to the chair. Hold for 2-3 seconds, knees behind
    the toes, and straighten. Repeat for 12-16 reps, 2-3 sets.

  • Heel Drops with Leg Extension
    Stand on step or platform with left leg on the step, right leg hanging
    off the side. Bend the left leg and lower the right foot towards the
    floor (a few inches). Straighten the left leg and bring the right leg
    out to the side, foot flexed, in a leg extension. Repeat 8-12 times,
    switch legs for 2-3 sets.

  • Hip Extension
    On a flat or inclined step or platform, lie facedown with hips on the
    edge of the step, legs straight out behind you with toes resting
    lightly on the floor. Squeeze the glutes and hamstrings and straighten
    the legs until they are level with the hips. Hold for 2-3 seconds, and
    lower letting toes lightly touch the floor. Repeat for 2-3 sets of
    8-12 repetitions.

LATERAL LUNGE
  • Begin with stepping to the right beyond shoulder width while keeping your toes forward and your feet flat. Squat through your right hip while keeping your left leg straight. Squat as low as possible, holding that bottom position for three seconds. Push back to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

    Okay everyone, hope you all try these exercises. Have a nice weekend x
