Ok, so you’re probably wondering what a “FUPA” is, right? It stands for Fat Upper Pubic Area or Fat Upper Private Area, or if you’re really raunchy, it stands for Fat Upper P****y Area. For women, it’s that area directly above your vagina but not quite your stomach. It makes your jeans look like “mom jeans” in the front.
How to Get Rid of FUPA or Fat Vagina
Whatever you want to call it, it’s been a common problem area for women for decades. Here are 5 exercises that along with a diet of lean fats and metabolism boosting foods, can make that FUPA disappear. Here goes:
1. Plank – The plank is severely underrated. Simply go into push up position, with your but not above your shoulders, nor under your elbows. A perfect plank position, you will look like a stiff board. You can also do with your elbows on the ground. Take the help of your forearms and toes to support your body’s weight but ensure that your body is straight at all times.
Now, remain still in this position for 60 seconds. Try to increase the duration for 15 seconds more with every passing week. Perform this exercise 2 to 3 times daily.
2. Mountain Climbers – Lie down on the floor, face down. The knees should touch the ground and arms kept straight. Now, slowly rise upwards, taking on a push-up position where your legs remain in the same line as your body.
Move the left leg in the direction of the left hand so that your lower abs feel the pressure. When done take the left leg to the normal position and perform the same exercise with the right leg. Do 2 to 3 sets of 20 repetitions each for best results.
3. Pelvic Thrusts – A lot of people get this one wrong. Start off by laying… down on the floor while facing the ceiling. Bend your knees and keep the feet absolutely flat. The arms will remain on your sides and palms facing the floor. Tighten the abdominal muscles and lift up the buttocks with the help of your heels.
4. Reverse Crunches – Lie down on the floor, facing the ceiling. Keep both your hands behind the head. Bend your knees
to make them perpendicular to the floor. Now pull in both the knees together towards the chest while tighteningthe abdominal muscles.
Stay in this position for 5 seconds. Make sure your back is fully straight. Now release the knees and then pull in again. Perform 2 sets of 15 repetitions each.
5. Yoga poses – Most yoga poses are all about breathing correctly. You cannot breath incorrectly and do yoga. So in order to get rid of your FUPA take up some yoga class to stretch and tighten your body. Trust me, it works!
