The scapula is a pair of large triangular bones, located behind the chest and above the back, supported by 34 large and small muscles. Therefore, it is more independent and has a wider range of motion than other bones. It's just that if you bend over for a long time because of work, the muscles around your shoulder blades will be more stiff. Takenouchi Min, a Japanese expert, stressed that long-term cultivation of the habit of stretching the scapula can not only ease activities, but also reduce weight.
The scapula can stretch the surrounding brown fat cells, improve basal metabolism, burn calories easily, and build a body that burns fat easily. You can do stretching exercise for 30 seconds twice in 1 day, just after getting up in the morning and before going to bed at night, and each action should be accompanied by natural breathing.
Hands folded on the back, the height does not need to be too high, depending on personal circumstances, even if it is only at waist height. Move your arm back and forth about 20 times. If you suddenly stretch your muscles, they will be nervous and unable to stretch. So do this slowly to stretch your muscles.
Doing this action can relax the stiff muscles that are usually inactive, improve the blood circulation in the shoulder and back, and increase the metabolic rate.
Hands clasped behind the body, palms extending outward and upward, and the height does not need to be pulled too high. This is a kind of chest expansion exercise, which can achieve scapula adduction. Any stretching exercise, at first, can be practiced in front of the mirror.
Come to both sides of your chest with your hands, open your chest, then fold your hands forward 45 degrees and do it back and forth 20 times.
Because "scapular stretching exercise" can promote fat burning and make the whole body warm, the body will be in a state of high metabolism within 5-6 hours, which is very effective for weight loss and shoulder and neck pain.
Takenouchi Min, a Japanese expert, also stressed that you should breathe naturally when you do it, so that oxygen will spread all over your body and secrete adrenomedullin, that is, norepinephrine and epinephrine, to promote fat decomposition.
