Activity, Exercise - Put the advantages on your side

 Diet
And what about diet? Avoid foods that are high in salt or sugar. Salt causes water retention and sugar clogs the blood vessels. Forego alcohol for water. Water helps flush out toxins, so drink 6-8 glasses a day. Choose lean protein (such as chicken or fish), vegetables and fruit.

Activity
Physical activity is important for the body because it speeds up the metabolism and circulation while promoting tissue oxygenation. You don't need to run a marathon - what's important is regular, sustained effort. Taking a walk, doing sit-ups or riding a bike will do the trick.

Step up
Take the stairs rather than the elevator and go up on tiptoe to strengthen your gluteal muscles.

Exercises
Activity, Exercise - Put the advantages on your side 1

Exercise 1

  • Balance on one leg and contract the buttock of your supporting leg.
  • Add some little knee-bends (supporting leg), increasing the pull on the gluteal muscles.

Exercise 2

  • Lie on your side with both legs extended straight, one arm folded on the floor supporting your head and the other arm under your bust, with your hand flat on the floor as a support point.
  • As you inhale, slowly elevate your leg as you contract your gluteal muscles: the angle should not exceed 60°. Only your leg moves, while the rest of your body stays still.
  • Count out 5 seconds and then slowly bring your leg back down, keeping it extended, as you exhale. Your leg should come back to rest on your other leg without touching the floor.

Repeat the exercise 10 times. Change sides and repeat with the other leg.
 

Exercises at the pool

Exercise 1

  • Begin by swimming several lengths at your own pace on your back with your arms extended behind your head holding a board, or put a foam flotation collar under the nape of your neck. Make evenly-paced kicks.

Exercise 2

  • Place a foam "floatie" under each armpit to hold you upright in the water.
  • Do the splits and bring your legs back together. Repeat 15 times.
