It is popular in Japan that "you can lose weight while lying down". People just need to put a thick towel under the lumbar spine after eating a full meal or before going to bed every day and lie flat for 10 to 15 minutes. After a week, they can get rid of the fat around their abdomen. Physiotherapist Jiang Minghua said that the principle of lying thin is mainly to train the muscles around the pelvis and burn local fat through muscle contraction and relaxation.
Guide pelvis, smooth detoxification.
Jiang Minghua further emphasized that the pelvis is the center of the human body and plays a fundamental role. Modern people's bad sitting posture and wearing high heels can lead to pelvic skew. Over time, fat will accumulate in the abdomen and thighs, which is difficult to eradicate. Putting a towel on your waist can relax the tense muscles, return the uncoordinated muscles to their original positions, promote blood circulation and achieve the effect of slimming.
Yoga teacher Tang also believes that pelvic irregularities will affect blood circulation. When the blood circulation of muscles around pelvis is poor, toxins cannot be excreted, and fat is easy to accumulate. Boys pile up in the abdomen, girls pile up in the thighs and buttocks. Simple pelvic exercises can really restore the skewed pelvis to its normal position, make the circulation here better, and expel toxins from the body.
Although pelvic exercises can achieve the effect of losing weight, Jiang Minghua believes that people should persevere and do it every day if they want to dump meat. If they just fish for three days a day and dry their nets, they can't throw meat. Tang also holds the same view. She said that if you want to lose weight lying down, you must be patient and control your breathing and diet to lose weight. If you just lie there, you won't lose weight, but you will get fat.
How to do pelvic exercises?
Prepare yoga mats, towels or yoga bricks first.
Step 1
Lie flat on the yoga mat, fold the towel into a certain thickness (or yoga brick) and put it between your knees, put your hands flat on your sides, slowly lift your hips when exhaling, stay for 10 second, and then slowly put your hips back on the floor. This is 1 round, and it is recommended that 1 day be used for 20 rounds.
Second step
Old people can prepare a ball to train the pelvis. Lean your body against the wall with your feet parallel to shoulder width, exhale, squat for half, stay for 5 seconds, and inhale. It is recommended to do 10 minutes every day, which can not only exercise pelvic muscles, but also exercise quadriceps femoris in the front thigh.
