2. Hip Dip on Side Plank:
A little tough for the beginners, but side planks combined with hip dips are a good combination to see positive results on the saddlebags.
To Perform:
- Lie on your side. Taking support of the elbow (keeping the hips on the floor), raise your upper body at about 30 degrees off the floor.
- Now slowly, with the support of the elbow and feet, lift the hips off the floor.
- Make sure the entire body is in line at 30 degrees.
- Hold for 5 seconds before bringing the hips down. Repeat.
Perform the routine on the other side as well. Do this regime for 4-6 weeks regularly and change will be evident. This also strengthens the limbs and tones thigh muscles.
