Is the arm thick and the shoulder thick because of being fat?
After starting to take care of the baby, I hold a clingy little cutie weighing more than ten kilograms or twenty kilograms every day. Over time, we found that not only the arm, but also the whole upper body is getting thicker and thicker, which is actually related to the upper cross syndrome.
The so-called suprachiasmatic syndrome is actually caused by the imbalance of muscle strength. As shown in the figure below, some muscles tend to be tense and some muscles tend to relax, which leads to the change of muscle tension, thus forming a cross, and then we may have different degrees of shoulder and neck pain or arm numbness.
The most terrible thing is that shoulder and neck discomfort will further aggravate muscle imbalance, thus forming a vicious circle. When the upper cross syndrome develops to the later stage, we will find that our body shape has undergone serious changes, and "ugly postures" such as shrugging, hugging our chest and stretching our heads emerge one after another.
The reason why Ma Ma will become a "susceptible person" of upper cross syndrome is related to the fact that we often bow our heads to feed our baby, which leads to the cervical vertebra moving forward. Some people have too much hemp milk, which will also lead to the center of gravity leaning forward.
As we can see in the picture below, the normal posture of the spine is upright, but after the emergence of the upper cross syndrome, the spine has been bent to varying degrees, and the head has also been tilted forward to a certain extent, which greatly affects the aesthetic feeling of the usual posture and makes the whole person look listless.
Target action "ready"
If we compare the above pictures, we find that we have three typical symptoms of upper chiasma syndrome: round shoulders, hunchback and head forward, then we should "move" immediately, especially for muscles without strength. Mother Lizi is here to talk about two little tricks that are convenient to do at home at any time.
Neck stretching and relaxation
Head up: Keep your mouth shut and hold back until you feel a stretch in your spine for 20 seconds.
Turn left and right: Turn left and right to feel stretching, then gradually raise your head or lower your head, and feel the stretching feeling enhanced, which can be divided into two groups.
Finally, keep your hands stretched forward/backward/left/right for 20 seconds to relieve muscle tension.
Shoulder depth activation
Keep your upper body straight, your shoulders sink, your upper limbs straighten, and your arms rotate upward to move your shoulders. 10- 15 has 3-5 groups, and the groups can rest for 30 seconds. Keep is a fitness APP, which can be downloaded from both Android and IOS systems. Ma Ma can find relevant courses for real-life synchronous training.
Why active exercise, or a woman with a small belly?
Other ma ma also asked: why do I try to do exercise every day, but my stomach still doesn't go and there is still a circle of meat on my waist? There will be some pain in the waist from time to time, which is not only related to the rectus abdominis mentioned by Lizi's mother before, but also related to the lower cross syndrome.
Because when the baby is still in the mother's belly, the weight is not small. Mother has been carrying this "sweet burden" for a long time, and it is inevitable to pull her body forward. However, after giving birth to a child, we will find tragically that our stomachs seem to be stuck for a while.
This "stand in front and tilt back" figure looks particularly easy to be mistaken for * * *, but it is actually caused by the pelvis leaning forward. As shown in the above picture, please pay attention to the lower abdomen. The right side is obviously bigger than the left side, right? This actually shows that the lower cross syndrome is one of the culprits that cause our lower abdomen to always shrink.
Target action "ready"
Actually, it's not just us. Because modern people sit for a long time and don't exercise, lower cross syndrome is actually very common. Ma Ma, don't worry too much. Just correct it slowly with daily practice.
Practice gluteus maximus
After lying down, put your hands on the back and keep your knees bent and suspended.
Abdominal support, hips push up, stay in the air for half a second.
Put it down slowly, then continue and repeat it three or four times.
Butterfly belly roll
1. Lie down, spread your arms slightly, and keep your legs straight and drooping.
2. Push the upper body forward with abdominal strength, at the same time straighten your legs and move closer to the upper body, and keep your body and feet from landing at the waist.
3. Repeat the action 10-20 times.
Come to lose weight after giving birth. Mother chestnut feels anxious and must prescribe the right medicine. Effectively control diet, strengthen exercise, and pay attention to the details of body shape, so that everyone will become a great figure. Do you also feel that taking care of the baby is more powerful?
