Sasakawa Daying (physiotherapist) finds out your lazy muscles from bad habits! Some people may think, "I have no joint pain at all!" But according to my observation, most people are reserve troops with joint pain. The behavior of letting lazy muscles go is actually manifested in daily actions. We often unconsciously choose the muscles that are easy to use to live, which is equivalent to giving up the muscles that are difficult to use. However, blindly using good muscles will cause soreness and stiffness in this part, or cause poor blood circulation. Then form bad posture or action habits, which are naturally expressed by the body, which is "compensatory action" in professional terms. Through the legend on the left page, we can simply understand this principle. Comparing these three examples, we will find that the way of walking will be different according to the different muscles of lazy people. For example, when the adductor muscles inside the thigh become weak, the muscles outside the thigh will be overworked and the knees will become unable to stretch, so that you can't exert yourself when walking. If that's all, it's just a bad walking posture. But this bad habit will gradually bring various restrictions to daily life, such as "walking slowly", "not kneeling" and "not going down the stairs". If the elderly, it will evolve into "dyskinesia syndrome" (a high-risk state of having to be taken care of by others because of moving organs). Editor's recommendation: Can I wear shoes when standing on one foot? If not, beware of "dyskinesia syndrome") and compensatory exercise may happen to young people or people with strong muscles and bones, so it is very important to pay more attention to their bad exercise habits from daily life. Lazy muscles = adductor muscles are soft. If the muscles in the inner thigh are too weak, the knees will not be straight, and the center of gravity will be biased forward when walking. Lazy muscle = walking outside the transverse abdominis muscle. If the transverse abdominis muscle is lazy, the foot can't stretch backward, and it will become a way of walking with knees bent outward. Lazy muscle = serratus anterior walking with round shoulder Because serratus anterior is weakened, the scapula expands outward and the shoulder protrudes forward, which is called round shoulder. You can't stretch your back, so your feet will move slowly. The lazy muscles in the waist are located in the deepest part of the abdominal muscles: the lazy muscles in the transverse abdominal muscles wrap the chest cavity containing internal organs like a vest, which stabilizes the internal organs and helps us maintain the correct posture. It is also the muscle used for abdominal breathing and exhaling, so as long as you exercise here, you can take a deep breath. It can even make the protruding abdomen disappear and make the waist curve beautiful. Once the transverse abdominal muscles are lazy, the weight of the upper body will press the muscles of the waist or hip joint, causing a burden on the muscles around the pelvis.

Lumbar spine (hip joint) repair exercise transverse abdominis muscle exercise thigh straight up This is the action of lifting the foot from the pelvis and tightening the side abdomen. Pay attention to the position of your hands and the angle of your feet, and be careful not to let your waist protrude forward. 1. Stand with your right hand on the chair. Left hand droops, palms outward. The toes of the left foot are inward. 2. Hold your chest and lift your left foot from the pelvis. Don't bend your knees, lift your feet up as far as possible, and hold for 10 second. 3. Repeat the same action on the other side. The armpits and waist are tightened as if to be compressed, and the feet are kept in an upward posture. Point 1 Turn out from thumb and palm outward. Point 2 is supported by something that can be touched when the arm naturally droops. Third, don't lift your shoulders.
