Seeing the results of our efforts is the key when we want to reach the ideal weight. That’s why Bright Side suggests you incorporate 9 habits into your routine to help you wake up leaner and keep you motivated to achieve your goals.

Plank (an exercise for your abs)



  1. Prop yourself up using your hands and knees, then stretch your legs until you’re supporting your weight with the tips of your toes and your elbows.
  2. Stretch your abdominal muscles and pull your legs up a few inches, one at a time.
  3. Repeat for a full minute. Don’t bend, and keep your back straight.

30-60-90 (for abs and legs)


  1. Lie on your back with your hands under your head and your legs together.
  2. Pull up your legs to an angle of 30 degrees without bending them. Strain your abdominal muscles, but don’t bend at the waist. Breathe deeply three times while in this position.
  3. Increase the angle to 60 degrees. Stay like this, breathe deeply three more times, and then increase the angle again to 90 degrees. Keep this position.
  4. Repeat the same procedure backwards. Don’t forget to flatten your waist.

Cobra position (for buttocks and back)


  1. Lie on your stomach with your feet together, bend your arms at the elbows, and prop yourself up on your hands at a straight angle.
  2. Breathing in, carefully bend at the waist and pull up your torso while holding your head up a bit. Stay in this position for 30 seconds, then lower your body while breathing out.

Grasshopper (for buttocks and hips)



  1. Lie on your stomach with your chin on the floor. Place your arms at your sides and make fists. Stretch out your legs and feet as much as you can.
  2. Breathing in, slowly raise your legs one at a time, and then lower them again while breathing out.

Candlestick (for your abdomen)


  1. Lie on your back with your legs bent at the knees and pressed to your chest.
