I have a job where I sit 8+ hrs. Need exercises that'll give me a great butt & abs. Don't have much free time
Question:
Answers:
For your butt: lie on your back with your arms by your sides, knees bent and feet flat on the floor.
then lift your hips as high up off the floor as you can, keeping your back straight. tense your but muscles as you do this. Hold for 5 seconds then lower back down. do 2 sets of 10, and rest inbetween. then cross your right leg oer your left knee and repeat. 2 sets of ten, then switch legs.
For your tummy: lie on your front with your forearms infront of your head. join your hands up so you make a triangle shape with your arms. Then you lift your body up keeping your back straight, and dont stick your butt out, so you're resting on your toes and your arms. Hold your tummy muscles in at all times (as if theres a piece of string in your back pulling your belly button up to the ceiling.) hold for as long as you can (about 20-30seconds) then rest and repeat 3 times a night.
Also for better results, buy a jump rope and skip for as long as you can twice a day. Aerobic work will help you tone more.
If I havent explained in enough detail, feel free to email me.

get a gaelle u just do 20 mins a day and u get a good workout
flex your kegel or pc muscles while sitting down it not only keeps your vagina in good shape but it does help with your butt muscles too. Do some squats before leaving every morning. Thats what I do. Try to do more every few days.
Squats and lunges are the best for thigh and butts. As for abs, try sucking in your tummy every time you remember, helps lots, too. Try walking a lot, even if it means you have to park your car 3 blocks down.
Remember, exercise is needed not only for looks, but for health, too. Search the web for circuit exercises, which take around 10-15 mins. to make, and get up 10-15 min. earlier.
get on all fours. palms to the ground, hands facing forward, legs making 90 degree angles. lift your legs one at a time as high as you can, keeping them at a right angle. do 3 reps of 10 per leg.
(this is a butt exercise)
Do isometrics while you are sitting. This means to flex and relax the muscles. Purchase an exercise bike, they will firm up your butt, especially if you pedal standing up, and the weight loss will show off your abs. Just do a little extra ab work. It only takes 20-30 minutes.
The new ones are small and compact, make sure you get one with magnetic resistance.
You can get one at Wall Mart for under $100.
