In this blog post, we will introduce you to a series of exercises that will strengthen and relax your legs and help you mitigate the effects of the heat.

During heatwaves, the body can be put under a lot of strain, which can lead to heavy legs and water retention. This 10-minute Legs up Pilates session will help you to feel more calm, relaxed and relaxed.

🚀 Let's start:

I. Put up the wall & calm down:

Lie on your side next to a wall and place your legs perpendicular to the wall. This will increase blood circulation and reduce swelling. Breathe in and out deeply for a calming effect. Aside from helping you relax, this exercise is ideal to incorporate into your morning routine.

II. Bridge up & down :

Start the workout by lying on your back with your feet flat against the wall. Slowly raise and lower your pelvis. This will strengthen your leg muscles and stimulate blood circulation. It is important that you perform this exercise slowly and in a controlled manner to achieve the best effect.

II. Bridge up & pulse:

Hold the bridge position and make small up and down movements with your pelvis. This will further increase blood circulation and remove excess fluid from the legs. Concentrate on performing the pose correctly and feel how your legs become lighter and more energetic.

IV. Bridge up & walk:

Hold the bridge position with your feet on the wall and slowly stretch one leg up. Hold it in the air for a moment and then lower it back down. This variation not only activates your leg muscles, but also helps to reduce water retention. Switch sides and repeat the exercise.

V. Bridge down & crunch:

Lie flat on your back with your feet flat against the wall and your knees over your hips at a 90-degree angle. Lift your left arm and perform a crunch to the right, moving your upper body toward your right knee. This exercise targets your obliques and helps drain excess fluid.

After 1 minute, perform the same exercise as before, but on the left side. Perform a crunch movement to the left by moving your upper body towards your left knee. It is remarkable what physical coordination this exercise requires.

VI. Legs Down & Relax:

Lie flat on your back, bring your knees towards your chest and let your arms rest relaxed beside your body. Breathe in and out deeply as you relax completely. Use this time to recover and feel the refreshing effect on your body.
