7 tips for walking and losing weight

1, pay attention to your walking posture.

Go as far as you can on your way to and from work every day. Walking posture is very important, chest out, abdomen in, hip in, never hunch over. If you don't tighten your lower abdomen when you walk, no matter how many roads you walk, you can't stimulate your abdominal muscles and your lower abdomen won't contract. In addition, hunchback will destroy the sense of balance of the body and reduce the exercise effect of walking.

2. Increase the stride of walking.

Think of walking as a weight loss exercise. You can't walk casually as usual. You should increase your stride appropriately. Only by striding forward can we exercise thigh muscles and avoid radish legs.

Step 3 land on the heel first

The heel hits the ground first, not the whole sole lying flat on the ground. Focus on the front foot. Every step, the forefoot should land in the order of heel, arch and toe. When walking in this way, the heel will naturally rise and the leg curve will become tight and symmetrical.

Step 4 throw a bag and practice your arms

Women usually carry bags when they go out. If they don't disturb others, they can use it as a "micro-sports device" and shake it back and forth. This throwing action can exercise the arm muscles. However, it should be noted that if the bag is too heavy, don't swing it back and forth, otherwise it will not only hurt the shoulder joint, but also hurt the people around it.

5. Exercise while waiting for the bus

When waiting for the bus and the signal, you are not idle. You can use this time to do abdominal exercises. Focus on the abdomen and tighten it with all your strength. Feel the navel close to the back and recover after 6 seconds. Do this as long as you have time. Repeat simple exercises!

Step 6 sit on the bus

When there are seats in the car, you can exercise easily. The legs are set at 90 degrees, the heels are fixed, and the toes swing up and down repeatedly. This action can exercise the muscles of the calf and make the calf lines more symmetrical.

At the same time, you can also exercise your abdominal muscles while sitting. Lift your legs together to a height of about 5 cm from the ground, and keep your legs suspended. Try to keep this posture as long as possible.

7. Stand on the bus.

It doesn't matter if there are no seats in the car. Because standing can also do a lot of small sports. Hold the rings on the car with your hands, sometimes hold them tightly, sometimes relax them, and repeat them to make your wrists thinner.

Grasp the rings with both hands, spread your feet slightly and lean forward. At this time, you can feel the abdominal muscles tight and exercise the abdominal muscles.

If you can't reach the car's rings, you can hold the railing with your hands, stand on tiptoe like a ballet dancer, and put it down when you are tired. Repeated practice like this can beautify the lines of your calves.

Or hold the railing with both hands, count the beats, and push your abdomen inward at the same time. This method can effectively tighten the abdominal muscles and slowly contract the lower abdomen.
