Stand up straight and tuck in.
What posture do you use to read this article now? Are you half lying on the sofa or reclining in the office chair? Between sitting and lying, people always like the most comfortable posture, but comfortable posture does not necessarily mean health, especially for people with thicker waistlines. Maintaining a "comfortable" posture for a long time will not only accumulate more and more fat on the stomach, but also strain muscles and ligaments, and even affect cardiopulmonary function. Keeping the posture of holding your chest and abdomen for a long time is actually exercising your abdominal muscles, which is very useful for reducing your waistline over time.
If you work long hours at your desk, you must get up and walk for half an hour; When walking, you should hold your head high, your eyes look straight ahead, your toes point straight ahead, your steps are natural, and your steps must be brisk; When standing, the chin is slightly retracted, the abdomen is slightly retracted, and the center of gravity is slightly forward.
2. Good exercise
Do more aerobic exercise.
Exercise is divided into aerobic and anaerobic. Although anaerobic exercise can enhance people's muscles and explosive power, the fitness effect is limited to shaping body lines, which is generally not as good as aerobic exercise. Therefore, people who want to reduce their waistlines had better choose aerobic exercise.
Common aerobic exercise can be divided into track and field, skipping rope, cycling, jogging, playing basketball, table tennis, swimming and walking according to calorie consumption. Among them, brisk walking, swimming, dancing and cycling are the four most suitable exercises recommended by American Daily Health Network, which can effectively improve cardiopulmonary function, lower blood pressure, regulate blood lipid and control blood sugar, especially suitable for middle-aged and elderly people. Every aerobic exercise should not be less than 30 minutes, 3-5 times a week. To master the scale of exercise, we should keep the heart rate close to and not exceed the "bull's-eye rate". Generally speaking, "bull's-eye rate" is equal to 170 minus age. Once there are obvious phenomena such as palpitation, shortness of breath, fever and dizziness, it means excessive exercise.
