Remove excess folds on the stomach. How to get rid of belly fat

Metabolism increases only with regular training. The most suitable for this are aerobics, on simulators, running, swimming, rhythmic dances with elements of aerobics. If classes are carried out from time to time, the effectiveness of fat burning will be equal to zero.

To burn fat quickly, sign up for a group where classes will be conducted by an experienced trainer in a certain rhythm and sequence. Self-training will be an addition that helps to consolidate the result.

For self-training, use exercises aimed at strengthening the abdominal muscles. Before you do targeted exercises to work out a specific muscle group, do a general warm-up daily. It will be enough to do squats 30 times, make 20-30 torso to the right, left, forward, backward and jog for 2-3 minutes. Instead of jogging, you can use running in place or on a treadmill, which is very convenient.

The next exercise will be aimed at working out the oblique abdominal muscles. Lie on your back, fasten your toes on the gymnastic wall or, in extreme cases, behind the sofa, lift your torso 100 times.

The oblique abdominal muscles most often suffer and stretch during pregnancy, so they need to be strengthened in the first place. Do a reasonably effective exercise every day. Lie on your right side, draw in your stomach as much as possible, intensively lift your left leg as far as possible. Perform the exercise at least 100-150 times. Turn to the other side and lift your right leg in the same way. At first glance, this exercise seems simple enough, but on the first try it is very difficult to complete even 50 lifts.

The lower abdominal muscles are strengthened with the same exercise, but you need to raise your legs. In this case, the hands should be under the head. Do both exercises very intensively. A slow pace does not contribute to the burning of body fat.

Buy a heavy iron hoop. Spin it daily for 30-40 minutes. Systematic exercises for several months will help you completely from the fat layer on the abdomen and significantly strengthen the abdominal muscles.

Despite intensive training, there may not be results if you do not reduce the calorie content of food and stop overeating at night. Make it a rule to have dinner no later than 18 hours, exclude from the diet all fatty, fried, spicy, sweet, convenience foods, fast food, alcoholic and carbonated drinks. Eat vegetable and fruit salads, porridge on the water, mashed low-fat steamed cutlets, boiled fish and you will be able to completely lose belly fat and lose 10-15 kg.

The beach season has begun, and you are ashamed to wear an open swimsuit because of the wrinkles on your stomach? It's not worth getting upset! It is urgent to act, because the sooner they are removed, the faster the result will come. In addition, accumulations in the waist area are not only a cosmetic problem, but also indicate a malfunction of the internal organs. Therefore, they cannot be ignored.

Causes of wrinkles on the abdomen

The main reasons for the formation of wrinkles on the abdomen, of course, are malnutrition and lack of physical activity. However, not only these well-known factors affect the accumulation of body fat. Some do not even assume that the following points can also provoke the appearance of folds in the waist area:

  • genetic predisposition. The genetic program is laid down in the body in the womb, and it is impossible to influence it. So, the type of figure may be similar to the body structure of one of the parents: if the mother has an apple-shaped physique, then the likelihood that the daughter will also suffer from a lack of a waist is quite high;
  • passive lifestyle. In a sitting position with an incorrect posture, folds on the skin form by themselves, accumulating a fatty layer. And if you are in this position for whole working days, sagging skin in this area can hardly be avoided;
  • stress and lack of sleep. Frequent nervous tension and the lack of a full 8-hour night's sleep lead the body into a state of chronic fatigue. This activates the release of the hormone cortisol, which provokes a feeling of hunger. As a result, increased consumption of food, especially junk food, leads to overweight in problem areas, which include the abdomen;
  • health problems. Disorders of the digestive tract, cardiovascular system, as well as hormonal imbalances can lead to obesity, which primarily affects the waist;
  • rapid weight loss of 20 or more kilograms, as well as the postpartum period, can cause sagging skin.

Lack of physical activity and poor nutrition are the main causes of body fat An apple-shaped figure can be inherited Incorrect sitting posture contributes to wrinkling Nervous tension contributes to the release of cortisol, which causes appetite Hormonal imbalance can cause excess weight

What can interfere with a tummy tuck

Focusing on the moments that contribute to a tummy tuck, many do not pay attention to some factors that can interfere with this process. What should not be done so as not to spoil the work on combating wrinkles in the waist area:

  • eat immediately after training. The process of burning fat occurs for another two hours after physical training. Therefore, if this time is limited to drinking only water, then you can say goodbye to extra pounds much faster;
  • limit yourself to drinking. Firstly, drinking a glass of water fills the stomach, creating a feeling of satiety, which will save you from consuming extra calories. Secondly, clean water helps to remove the products of the breakdown of burnt fats, protecting internal organs from intoxication. Thirdly, drinking every 20 minutes during a workout will help to quickly restore skin elasticity;
  • sacrifice sleep. The opinion that if you sleep less and do more business, you can use more extra calories is erroneous. Not only does the body restore the energy spent during the day during sleep, it also produces the hormone leptin, which can control the feeling of satiety. Sleeping until midnight is considered especially useful, so it is better to go to bed at 10-11 pm;
  • deprive yourself of positive emotions. To control the level of the hormone cortisol in the body, it is necessary to maintain your psycho-emotional state at a positive level. But there are times when breakdowns cannot be avoided due to, for example, nervous work. In this case, at least once a week, you should arrange relaxation for yourself: take a walk in nature, take an aroma bath, go for a relaxing massage, etc.;
  • abuse bad habits. Smoking can cause hormonal disruptions in the body, kill collagen, which helps firm the skin, return toned muscles to a relaxed state, which leads to flabbiness of the body. And alcohol, being already a high-calorie product, provokes appetite, which leads to uncontrolled eating of junk food;
  • indulge in coffee and tea. Caffeinated drinks promote the production of insulin, which improves digestion. But a few extra cups of coffee or tea, while speeding up the digestion process, will increase the number of meals, which will lead to the consumption of extra calories. Therefore, drink no more than 2-3 cups a day without added sugar and milk or cream.

How to eat

Proper nutrition is the basis of fat, block and carbohydrate balance in the body. The use of healthy products saturates the body with essential vitamins and nutrients, improves metabolism, ensures health and firmness of the skin. And the rejection of junk food will protect against excess free radicals, trans fats, toxins and toxins that clog the body and provoke fat deposits in the waist area.

How to remove wrinkles on the stomach

Today, there are many ways to remove wrinkles on the stomach. This can be done both independently at home, and in a beauty parlor, as well as resorting to surgical intervention. It all depends on the mood, desire and thickness of the wallet.

The best option to achieve a tightened belly is an integrated approach - so the result can be achieved after a month of diligence.

Cosmetical tools

It makes sense to use cosmetic products in the case of small folds with a slight accumulation of subcutaneous fat deposits or after losing weight, when the skin has become flabby, as a result of which it sagged. However, do not rely on magic - although specialized cosmetics are effective with regular use, they do not have the effect of plasticity. Therefore, do not forget about other additional options.

When choosing a tightening agent, pay attention to the composition, which should contain:

  • collagen;
  • caffeine;
  • seaweed;
  • essential oils:
  • hyaluronic acid;
  • vitamins;
  • coenzymes.

Folk ways: how to remove wrinkles on the stomach at home

Folk remedies have a big plus, which is expressed in the naturalness and freshness of the products used. However, there is also a minus - the effectiveness of the course will be less pronounced than after professional cosmetics due to the lack of additional potent components.

As you know, cold actively tones the skin, increases blood flow and lymph movement, which leads to an acceleration of regeneration processes and a gradual strengthening of the skin. By supplementing daily cosmetic procedures with wiping the abdomen with an ice cube, you can significantly accelerate the onset of the desired effect.

Preparing cosmetic ice is easy: you just need to distribute the prepared composition in ice molds and freeze. For this you can use:

  • decoctions of medicinal herbs (from chamomile, sage, calendula, etc.);
  • freshly squeezed juices mixed in a 1:1 ratio with mineral water (from lemon, watermelon, cucumber, etc.);
  • tea leaves after use (you can freeze disposable bags).

Cosmetic ice well tones and restores the skin

Oils

Natural oils have a lot of beneficial properties for the skin. Not only do almost all of them have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, moisturizing, protective, cleansing properties, many items are strong lifting agents.

The following oils have the most pronounced tightening effect on the skin:

  • grape seed;
  • olive;
  • cocoa;
  • peach;
  • coconut;
  • almond;
  • castor;
  • avocado.

To enhance the effect of natural oil, you can enrich it with a few drops of essential oil in the following proportions: 1 tsp. the base product you need to take 1-2 drops of concentrated.

The most effective for restoring skin elasticity are the following esters:

  • orange;
  • geranium;
  • grapefruit;
  • lime;
  • juniper.

Many oils have skin toning and skin firming properties.

To achieve the greatest effectiveness, after applying the oil, do a small massage of the abdomen, pinching and stroking it. After a month of use, the skin will become more elastic and more hydrated. After that, you should take a break for 2 months and continue therapy.

Masks and wraps

Do not underestimate the masks and body wraps prepared by yourself. The result can be seen after a course of 12-15 procedures, which should be done every 3 days.

For both procedures, you can use the same formulations. The difference is that when making a mask, you just need to apply the mixture and wait. And in the case of wrapping, the stomach with the applied mask is wrapped in cling film, under which a greenhouse effect is created.


The wrapping procedure involves wrapping the stomach with food film after applying a special composition to the skin

The procedure for the mask or wrap:

  1. The skin is thoroughly cleansed and steamed in a hot shower.
  2. We do peeling on the abdomen.
  3. Rub the area to be treated with a hard washcloth to a slight reddening.
  4. Apply the prepared mixture to this area.
  5. In the case of a mask, the composition is washed off after 20 minutes.
  6. In case of wrapping, we wrap the stomach with cling film and wrap it with a towel.
  7. At rest (preferably lying under a blanket), we wait 20 minutes.
  8. Wash off the mixture with warm water.
  9. Apply an anti-cellulite cream to the abdomen.

Options for tightening mixtures for masks and body wraps:

  • clay. You can use any cosmetic clay - white, red, blue, green, etc. For preparation, the powder is diluted with water (green tea, mineral water, milk) to the state of gruel;
  • honey. A few drops (2–3 per 1 tablespoon of the product) of citrus ether are added to natural liquid honey;
  • acetic. Natural vinegar (wine, apple or other fruit) is diluted with water 1: 1, a piece of gauze is wetted in this solution, which is then applied to the skin of the abdomen;
  • mustard. Mustard powder dissolves in water to the state of thick sour cream. This mixture is very bubbly, so the procedure time should be reduced to 10-15 minutes. And it is better to wash off the composition with cool water.

Any cosmetic clay is suitable for clay masks To prepare a honey wrap, you need to use natural liquid honey For vinegar wrap, you can use any fruit vinegar Mustard mixture is very spicy, so the exposure time of such a mask should not exceed 10-15 minutes

Physical exercise

Physical activity is a must in the fight against folds on the stomach. With a weakened muscular corset, it will be almost impossible to achieve elasticity of the skin covering it (with the exception of cosmetic and surgical methods).

A set of exercises for the abdomen should be performed regularly, and then by the end of the first month, the first changes in the skin condition will be noticeable in the form of an increase in its tone. You need to work on the abdominal muscles. Each task should be performed in 3 sets of 15 repetitions. The movement is done on the exhale, and return to the starting position - on the inhale.

Exercise 1:

  1. Lie on your back, put your hands behind your head, bend your knees.
  2. Slowly lift your shoulders off the floor, lingering slightly in the upper position.

We make sure that the chin does not press against the chest, and the elbows do not come forward. For convenience, during the exercise, you can look at the ceiling.


During the exercise for the upper press, you need to follow. so that the chin does not press against the chest

I try to make each exercise more difficult to improve performance. To do this, at the end of each approach, I do 10-15 springy short movements and hold the final position for 10-15 seconds. At the same time, it's nice to feel how the abdominal muscles burn with fire.

Video: upper press exercise technique

Task 2:

  1. We lie down on our back, arms along the body, shoulders slightly off the floor.
  2. We raise our legs above the floor by about 15–20 cm.
  3. We alternately cross our legs, performing "scissors". We do 15 pairs.

Performing the exercise "scissors", the shoulders are slightly torn off the floor

Task 3:

  1. Lie down on your back, arms along the body.
  2. Raise your legs (straight or bent) up.
  3. We push the pelvis up, directing the soles to the ceiling.
To pump the lower part of the press, push the pelvis up

Task 4:

  1. Lie on your back, put your hands behind your head.
  2. We raise our legs by 15–20 cm.
  3. We tear off the shoulders from the floor.
  4. Raising the body and bending the left leg, touch the left knee with the right elbow.
  5. We return to the starting position and make a movement for the opposite side.

Performing "twisting", with the elbow of the hand touch the opposite knee

Task 5:

  1. Lie on your back, stretching your arms and legs in length.
  2. Slowly lift your legs and shoulders off the floor, bringing your arms in front of you.
  3. We raise the body and legs, forming a right angle between them.

Performing the “boat” exercise, raise the body and legs, creating a right angle between them

plank

Plank exercise is very effective not only for strengthening the abdominals, but also the muscles of the back, arms and legs. In addition, in the bar stand, the fat layer is actively burned, which increases the chances of getting a slender, taut waist.


The plank stance engages many muscles in the body.

Classic plank technique:

  • the back should be absolutely straight, the pelvis does not rise up;
  • the emphasis is only on the elbows and socks;
  • shoulders should be at the same level with the elbows;
  • the head and neck remain relaxed.

Table: plank exercise schedule

Day p / pAmount of time in the rack, secDay p / pAmount of time, secDay p / pAmount of time, sec

8 45 18 150 28 240
9 60 19 Rest29 270
10 60 20 150 30 300

The plank is my favorite exercise. It doesn't take much time or effort. I recommend not to stop there, but to continue to do this rack daily even after you achieve an elastic waist. Just 4 minutes a day will help maintain the shape of the abdomen (and not only) in the proper form, even if there is no time and opportunity to go to the gym.

Massage

Massage is a very effective additional procedure for getting rid of wrinkles on the abdomen. Mechanical action on the skin stimulates blood flow and lymph movement, which contributes to cell renewal, removal of excess fluid, and activation of the synthesis of structural proteins. As a result, the epidermis tightens, becomes more elastic and elastic, wrinkles disappear. And the use of special massage creams and oils additionally nourishes the skin, moisturizes it and saturates it with vitamins and nutrients.

Abdominal massage can be performed independently with your own hands or using special units. By learning the right execution techniques, you can significantly save time and money on visiting a massage parlor.

Manual massage

Technique:

  1. We steam the skin in a hot shower, do a peeling of the abdomen, and also rub this area with a hard washcloth until it turns slightly red.
  2. Wipe the skin dry and apply a massage cream or oil.
  3. We start the movement with light strokes with the palms around the navel in a clockwise direction.
  4. Next, grabbing a fold of skin between the fingers, we begin to roll it from the bottom up. We carry out such a movement for the entire abdomen.
  5. Then we perform pinching with the thumb and forefinger of both hands for several minutes. Do not be afraid to feel pain - this indicates that subcutaneous fat deposits are breaking down.
  6. We finish the massage with stroking in a clockwise direction.

Dry brush massage

To perform a dry massage, you will need a brush with natural hard bristles (usually pig hair). This unit can be round, oval or rectangular with or without a handle. For the abdomen, it is more convenient to use a small brush with a pocket for the hand.


For massaging the abdomen, it is convenient to use a hard brush without a handle with a pocket for the hand

The technique is simple: rub the dry skin of the abdomen in a circular motion around the navel in a clockwise direction for 3-4 minutes. After the procedure, the skin should turn red, which indicates an acceleration of blood circulation. dry massage should be done daily before a shower.

Dry massage not only tightens the skin and improves its general condition, but also invigorates. Therefore, I introduced this procedure into my morning ritual. When you have a small child who does not let you sleep at night, this is an invaluable tool that does not take much time and effort.

Honey massage

Only natural liquid honey is suitable for honey massage. This product not only nourishes the skin with useful substances and makes it soft and velvety, but also helps to eliminate toxins, toxins and excess fluid. After a month of daily procedures, the result will be noticeable in the form of tightened skin.

To enhance the effect, honey can be enriched with any citrus ether at the rate of 1 drop per 1 tbsp. l. product.

Technique:

  1. We take a hot shower and scrub the skin of the abdomen.
  2. Wipe dry and apply honey to the entire area to be treated.
  3. We put the palm to the stomach, as if gluing it.
  4. Then, with a sharp wave-like movement, we tear off the hand. At this moment, along with honey, impurities and all harmful substances are drawn out of the epidermis, contributing to active cleansing.
  5. We work with both hands until the honey turns into grayish flakes.

vacuum massage

Vacuum massage can also be performed independently. To do this, you will need to purchase special jars that are sold in a pharmacy. Banks can be silicone, the vacuum in them is created by squeezing the device with your fingers before applying it to the skin, and plastic, equipped with a special pear.


Plastic jars are equipped with a pear, with which a vacuum is created

The movements are carried out along the massage lines, repeating the direction of the outflow of lymph - clockwise around the navel. In order for the jars to slide freely over the skin, you must first apply a cream or oil to it. Run time - 15 minutes, frequency - once every 2 days for a month.

Hula Hup

Massaging the abdomen with a special hula hoop is reminiscent of childhood entertainment. The advantage of the procedure is that it can be performed while watching your favorite movie. For the effectiveness of the procedure, you should choose a heavy hoop with massage attachments. Rolling the halahoop daily for 10-20 minutes will make the creases on the stomach less pronounced in a month.

For an effective tightening massage of the abdomen, you should choose a hoop with massage nozzles

Cosmetic procedures

Cosmetic procedures will show a more pronounced result than home methods. In addition, the patient does not have to make efforts to achieve what she wants. Such methods are also popular in cases where independent diligence does not bring results. But with severe flabbiness of the skin, unfortunately, the beautician is powerless.

Mesotherapy

Mesotherapy involves the introduction of injections into the subcutaneous layer with special meso-cocktails containing collagen, hyaluronic acid and other beneficial substances that help tighten sagging abdominal skin. The course of mesotherapy sessions is prescribed by a personal doctor after assessing the patient's skin condition. Usually their number does not exceed 5-6 sessions, with a break between them of 2 weeks. Each procedure will cost about 3-5 thousand rubles.


Mesotherapy is used against a sagging abdomen, but with relative elasticity of the skin

RF lifting

RF-lifting procedure consists in the impact of radio waves on problem areas of the skin, as a result of which the subcutaneous fat layer warms up to 45 degrees, which activates the production of collagen and elastin, breaks down fat cells and tightens the skin of the abdomen. The procedure is practically painless. In addition to tightening the skin, it is rejuvenated and gets rid of scars and stretch marks. The effect will last up to several years. But for this you will have to go through 10-15 sessions, each of which will cost about 2-6 thousand rubles.


After the RF-lifting procedure, the skin of the abdomen is tightened, as well as rejuvenated and gets rid of scars

Thread lifting

During the thread lifting procedure, a qualified doctor inserts special biodegradable (self-absorbable) threads under the skin, around which a framework of the required shape is formed from its own collagen to support the skin. Moreover, the process of production of structural proteins continues even after the splitting of the threads for 2 years, after which the procedure must be repeated. The price of this method of tummy tuck depends on the number and type of threads used - from 35 thousand rubles.


For thread lifting, self-absorbable threads are used, around which a frame is created from its own collagen.

Surgical intervention

In the most advanced cases, for example, after a rapid weight loss of 20 or more kilograms, when the skin is simply unable to recover on its own, and other methods are not able to help, you will have to resort to a radical option - surgical intervention. This method will be very effective, but it has unpleasant consequences in the form of a difficult recovery period (edema, bruising, etc.), as well as scars and scars.

Plastic surgery of the abdomen - abdominoplasty - is an operation in which under anesthesia, incisions are made around the navel or in the lower abdomen. Through them, if necessary, excess fat and flabby skin are removed, the dispersed rectus abdominis muscles are connected, and the remaining skin is tightened, after which sutures are applied. This procedure is expensive (at least 100 thousand rubles), but the effect of it lasts up to 10 years and even longer.


Plastic surgery of the abdomen is effective in advanced cases, but this operation leaves scars and scars.

Say what you like, but in modern society the cult of slender girls occupies a leading position. And although humanity is slowly moving away from the Barbie doll figure, most young girls are still eager to know how to get rid of fat folds on their stomachs. This is what we'll talk about today.

Why does the stomach get fat?

There are several reasons why fat deposits accumulate in the abdomen, waist and sides:

  1. Fat protects the body

This is said quite simply, but in fact, the fatty layer, that is, the lipid layer, protects the internal organs from various fluctuations in the external environment: hypothermia, mechanical damage, etc. This can also explain the fact that it is more difficult for women to lose weight than men, because for them, nature itself has a greater percentage of fat to protect the expectant mother and the child herself.

  1. Genetics
  2. Improper nutrition
  3. Sedentary lifestyle

How to remove wrinkles on the stomach: psychology

The most important thing in the process of losing weight and getting your belly in shape is your mental attitude. It includes several options:

Firstly, recommendations on how to get rid of wrinkles on the stomach in three days, not only do they not work, but they can also significantly ruin your health. Losing weight on the stomach is a rather long process, hence the second rule of psychological attitude.

Secondly, you should not immediately rush into all serious: eat only celery, spend whole days in the gym, give up all the joys of life. So you run the risk of getting disgusted with the process of losing weight already on the fifth day of the program, you will return to your previous lifestyle, and the fat folds will only increase in volume.

The main thing in the science of a slender body is the systematic training and the gradual accumulation of knowledge and practice. Let your body and your mind get used to the new routine.

Third, don't make yourself feel bad. Since you are serious about removing belly fat, remember that every missed workout and eaten cake will definitely affect the figure. They can even undo all your work for the last days and weeks.

Nevertheless, of course, there are times when you want to pamper yourself and relax. But your every action lies on your responsibility, and the crease on your stomach will unequivocally hint about this until you gather your will into a fist.

The psychological attitude in the question of how to remove wrinkles from the abdomen is important. The golden mean between rigor and love for your body is just what you need for weight loss.

Physiology

As we have already mentioned, the fight against belly fat is most effective when it works in a complex, the main pillars of which are:

  1. Physical exercise.
  2. Nutrition.
  3. SPA treatments.

In beauty salons, you can offer many procedures aimed at losing weight. These are body wraps, and electric stimulation, and massages, and fat-burning scrubs, etc. Usually, the choice between home and salon procedures rests on cost and convenience.

  1. Doctor's consultations.

Without a periodic examination of your body, there can be no talk of healthy weight loss. This is especially true for young mothers. For example, before you remove the crease on your stomach after a cesarean, you need to make sure that you can already lose weight, and also consult with your doctor about the scar. For girls who have survived a caesarean section, there is a risk of a hernia, which is a very dangerous phenomenon. But going to the doctor cannot be canceled for other categories of girls and men. Before starting weight loss, it is recommended to get the approval of a doctor.

And if with nutrition most often everything is clear: less sweet, floury fat, more boiled, fresh vegetables and fruits, clean water, lean meats and dairy products, then with training to remove the crease on the stomach, the issue is more complicated.

Workout

  1. Cardio

Most likely, if you are worried about how to remove wrinkles on the stomach and sides, the problem of excess weight is also not alien to you. In this case, cardio training is the best for you. They are very intense, stimulate sweating and fat burning.

These are running, brisk walking, jumping rope, cycling, swimming, etc.

You can't build muscle and lose weight at the same time. Cardio exercises are a warm-up before working on the muscles.

If you want to direct all your efforts to lose weight and remove the fat fold in the lower abdomen, remember that fat begins to burn only half an hour after the start of training.

  1. Statics

Static exercises are especially important if you are concerned about creases on your stomach when you sit. Such folds are not an indicator of the harmony of the figure, because often they disappear in a standing position. They are associated with poor training of the transverse abdominis muscle, while the oblique and rectus muscles can be well developed.

Helps strengthen all muscles, and especially those located on the abdomen, the Planck exercise. It is used in both yoga and exercise programs. You need to stand up, leaning on your hands (from palms to elbows) and the toes of your toes as if you are going to do push-ups. In this position, you must stand for at least 30 seconds, while holding your breath or breathing evenly. It is best to perform the exercise every day, because it takes a minimum of time and brings maximum benefits.

The plank can be done sideways. Then you lean on one hand and the outer surface of the same foot. The body is a straight line, the second hand is directed upwards, the second leg is located on the first, resting against it.

  1. Exercise "vacuum"

Continuing the conversation about the transverse abdominal muscle, it must be said that the vacuum is, if not the only, then the most effective exercise for strengthening it. With it, you can remove wrinkles on the stomach much faster.

You can take a standing or sitting position. Tighten your abdominal muscles. Take a deep breath. Then, while exhaling, keep the tension in the abdomen, pulling it inward. When the air runs out, hold your breath for 10-15 seconds and gradually take a new breath. Repeat this course 10-12 times for 3 sets.

The good thing about this workout is that once you get used to the breathing pattern, you can repeat it even while you work or watch a movie.
