Vogues come and go. In recent years there has been a fresh outcrop of rigorous training exercises that have dominated the market — Pilates, Spinning, CrossFit, you name it. However, there are a couple of very basic and simple exercises which have been around for a long time and are likely to stay for decades and centuries to come. They are called Body Sculpting Workouts.

The relative simplicity of these exercises might have one fooled into believing that they don’t work. That, and the fact that they don’t promise quick abs within two weeks. But carried over a longer period, these are deceptively effective, and that’s why they’re still around. If you go steady these are great body sculpting techniques. Body sculpting workouts include the kind of exercises wherein you use your own body weight to put pressure on your muscles, in order to achieve a toned body.

Simple Body Sculpting Workouts for Beginners

Here are a couple of body sculpting workouts we’ve rounded up which are really simple, either needing no instruments at all or just some simple weights, but are still effective.

#1.  Inchworm – Upper body workout

This is an effective exercise which begins with you standing upright. Bend down, knees straight, until your hips are upwards and your palms flat on the ground. Then start inching your body forwards as you walk your hands ahead of yourself, thus slowly lowering your body onto the floor. Eventually, you should be in a full Plank position, wherein the pressure lies on your core and spine. Then reverse the movement backward until you’re standing upright again. Then repeat for 6 to 8 reps.

It basically works out your arm, chest, upper back, lower back, and abs. Hence , considered as good exercise for your upper body.

#2.  Sumo Squat Thrust- Legs and Upper body workout

This is similar to Inchworm. However, your starting position should be the sumo squat, which means you should be crouched down, feet hip-width apart, toes angled out, hands on the flow before you, chest leaning forward. Then you should move your hands forward on the floor, while simultaneously moving your feet backward till you’ve achieved the plank position with the focus on the core. Reverse. And repeat 8 to 10 times.

This should start with the Plank position, however, your thumbs and forefingers should touch in a triangle formation, arms coming together towards the palm.

Do not let your lower back sag or your hips from jutting up. Push yourself back up and repeat 10 to 12 times.
