I visited my native town 6 months ago for a high school reunion. For years, I had not seen my schoolmates! And I was anxious because time wasn’t kind to me. I was now bearing wrinkles, cellulite, and 25 extra pounds! But my life changed that evening, and it was completely fateful for me. I met my future husband in the first place! It pushed me to think about Bodyflex, secondly.

Bodyflex is an exercise device invented by Greer Childers, the American housewife and mother of 3 girls. After giving birth to her third child, Greer became severely overweight. Greer pursued several different weight-loss strategies in the face of issues in her personal life, along with poor self-esteem and the failure to choose a desirable wardrobe. But none of them seemed to yield tangible results.

It occurred to me the same thing. In half a year, I lost 30 lb, launched my own company, and last but not least, I got married!

Here`re the results of my friends:

The inner surface of the thighs will be tightened by this workout. Remember that with the breathing cycle, all body flex exercises start.

  • Lie down as seen in the photo with your legs wide apart.
  • Lean back the legs and work before the next break, the breathing period.
  • Tilt your body forward and take 8 seconds to catch your breath. In front of you, palms should be spread out, shoulders lowered and the stomach retracted.
  • 5 times to repeat.

For the waist, this is an easy workout. It will also help you to relax the lower back and reinforce the thighs’ outer surface.

  • Lie down on a carpet and cross your legs so that you have the left knee over the right one.
  • The right leg should, horizontally, be held as straight as possible.
  • Place your left hand behind your back and put your right hand on your left knee.
  • Perform a period of breathing.
  • Shift the weight to your left arm, pull your left knee with your right hand upwards and towards your body, and turn your body to the left before you can look around. Keep for 8-10 counts in this place.
  • Exhale and unwind.
  • 5 times to repeat.
