Standing upside down for five minutes is equivalent to running for an hour. Indeed, handstands can promote blood flow, increase blood supply to the brain, and have the effect of "clearing the brain". Running for about an hour consumes about 500 kilocalories, while handstand helps to adjust the balance of the body and help shape the body through reverse adjustment, and the short-term fat loss effect will not be so excellent.
Beginners suggest 10 second each time, and then increase the duration after getting familiar with the body. When you have a certain foundation, you can try to stand on your head for 2 minutes at a time, and the total duration should not exceed 15 minutes.
Precautions for handstand
When you first do a handstand, your arm strength and balance may not be so strong, and you may fall easily. In addition, when you do it for the first time, you will feel dizzy or have a headache now. So it's best to do it on a blanket or soft cloth pad.
It is not advisable to stand upside down within 2 hours after meals, which may easily cause gastrointestinal discomfort and indigestion. In addition, don't stand upside down when drinking plenty of water.
