Women have more complicated areas in our body, which we must work more. If we talk about buttocks, abdomen and legs, they may be areas where we usually put the focus because they are areas where fat accumulates and we find it very difficult to remove it.

The famous routine of GAP, is created to work these areas of the body of women so latosas.

The objectives are usually flat and marked belly and buttocks and legs of steel.

The GAP routine can be performed either at home or at the gym, the place that motivates you the most or is more comfortable for you, as they will always be exercises that can be adapted (with or without machines).

We recommend a minimum routine of twice a week, or three times a week alternating with rest so that your muscle can regenerate well.

In previous blogs we have also emphasized nutrition. It is very important that your diet is healthy and balanced if you want results from your workouts.
