Work with weights

Working the core and lower body is important to getting that hourglass figure. There are a number of bodyweight exercises to burn fat and work the muscles.

Using weight like dumbbells and barbells could also help out, with the right targetted moves to do the work.

Lateral arm raises – this works the upper arms and shoulders. Using 5 lbs. weights, raise both arms to away from the body without bending the elbows. Perform the move with 8 to 12 repetitions and repeat it for five sets.

This is an effective move that gives the upper arms and shoulders a tone and muscular look.

Alternating dumbbell press – this will enhance the arm and muscle and tones the shoulder and the back. Using two dumbbells, bring it up to shoulder level. Press one up then pull it down while simultaneously pressing the other one up. Perform with 6 to 8 reps for 3 to 5 sets.

Mason twist – this is done in a seated position and the rotating motion engages the obliques and waistline to give you a tones and muscular midsection that gives you the hourglass curve.

Assume a seated position with the knees bent and hold an 8 to 10 pound medicine ball with both hands approximately 4 inches from the stomach. Lift feet slightly off the ground and lean back to balance then twist to the left. Slowly return back to the middle then turn to the right. Perform 8 – 12 reps for 5 sets.

Hip thrust – This helps shape the butt. Lean back against a stable and secure bench with feet flat on the ground, as you rest a weight on your lap. As you inhale, thrust your hips upward by squeezing the glutes.

You can increase the intensity of the workout by using a BOSU ball. Do 8-12 reps for 3-5 sets.

Bridges – This is a good routine that works the core muscles, glutes and hamstrings. Lie on the floor with knees bent and feet spread apart. Raise your hips off the floor until the pelvis creates a straight line from the ribs to the knees. Hold the position for 2 to 3 seconds then release. Do the same process 8 to 12 times for 5 sets.

Face pulls – This helps give definition to the back and the shoulders. Set a band about chest level, stand back and hold both ends. Assume a firm stance and pull the weight back towards your face. Begin with light weights and sets of 15 to 20.

Lateral lunges – This helps work the muscles at the outer edge of the hip and both the inner and outer thighs. Hold dumbbells or kettlebells with both hands and lunge as deep as possible to one side, then repeat on the other side. Do with 12 – 15 sets.

These are guaranteed moves for an hourglass figure that you surely would want to have.
