How useful is fitness?

It helps to keep the body toned. During the training a large number of muscles work simultaneously. Due to this, the fat decreases and approaches the intended ideal.

Example

The following example will help you to understand the difference between these directions. Let's say you have a good figure, which is quite satisfactory.

But the shape of the abdomen is far from ideal in view of a sedentary and sedentary lifestyle, as well as uncontrolled feeding. In this case, you should do shaping, focusing on strengthening the abdominal muscles.

Complexes of exercises in shaping are used to adjust the figure in some particular zone.

Reviews about shaping

• Tatyana, 30 years old:

I recovered very much during the winter, so I went to the gym in the spring to get rid of the extra pounds. Of all presented, she chose the shaping, because it is rhythmic and positive. Went to classes 2 times a week for a month.

After the subscription was not renewed. Now I study at home, because for a month I memorized all the exercises. Left not only overweight, but also tightened muscles. Flabby skin has always been my problem. Now she was gone.

• Sonya, 25 years old:

I have known Cindy Crawford's program for a very long time. And yet I began to study it. Exercises I really like: I still remember them by heart. The results from the classes became visible very soon.

All muscle groups are pulled up. However, Cindy does the exercises very quickly, and in fact the quality suffers from this. In this regard, it should not be equaled.

• Julia, 35 years old:

I'm doing shaping at home regularly. I must say that this requires willpower, so as not to abandon the exercises. My favorite music for shaping, video cassettes and, of course, the emerging results help me.

Most of all, I focus on the lower part: the hips and stomach to get into your favorite jeans. If I continue in the same manner, I will have to buy dresses for size smaller. And once I did not even think that this is possible.

• Bella, 21:

I started to practice the exercises of Cindy Crawford. I had enough for a week. I did exercises every day: my muscles ached terribly after that.

I managed to throw 600 grams. Now I want to try to combine with the diet, but do exercises only 3 times a week. This schedule is more real. Shaping for slimming and strengthening the body.
