People who sit for a long time due to prolonged sitting posture accumulate abdominal fat day by day. Below are five moves to help people who sit for a long time easily shed their big belly.
First, abdominal massage
Steps:
1. Try to contract the abdomen while taking deep breaths, and count for 10 beats before returning to the original position.
2. Place your left hand on the back of your right hand and place it on the abdomen, massaging in a clockwise direction for 10 circles. One complete action is one set, and do 2-3 sets.
This little action can effectively tighten the abdomen and reduce the waistline. Note that to be effective, you need to control your breathing while contracting the abdomen; otherwise, the effect is very slight.
Second, abdominal breathing method
Steps:
1. First, imagine there is a hypothetical 'small lung' in the丹田 (three fingers below the navel).
2. Inhale through the nose, and send the air you inhale all the way from the chest and abdomen to the 'small lung'.
3. At this time, your lower abdomen will slightly protrude. Then, exhale deeply, and exhale all the air in the 'small lung' through the nose.
There are three benefits to the abdominal breathing method: first, it helps to burn fat. Because the diaphragm in our body can regulate the lung capacity, increasing the lung capacity. The increase in the amount of air in and out of the lungs also increases the amount of oxygen inhaled. We all know that fat burning requires oxygen consumption, so abdominal breathing can help burn fat. Second, it helps to expel toxic gases in the body and firm the abdominal muscles. Thirdly, it can relax the lines of the chest, shoulders, and neck, making your upper body lines more graceful!
Third, abdominal contraction and pressing
Many women with a lot of excess fat around the waist often suffer from poor posture. When sitting, not raising the head, straightening the chest, and contracting the abdomen, fat is easily localized around the lower abdomen and waist. Therefore, when busy, we can do some movements while sitting to make up for it.
Steps:
1. Press the abdomen with both hands at the same time, and contract the abdomen inward.
2. While contracting the abdomen inward, use both hands to press the abdomen tightly, making the abdomen feel as close to the back as possible, and then keep it tense with force.
Fourth, leg lifting and abdominal contraction method
This method is very suitable for people who sit for long periods of time at work, and the method is also simple.
Steps:
1. Sit on the chair, straighten your back, place your hands on the sides of your thighs, and hold the edge of the chair.
2. Use abdominal strength to slowly raise the knees towards the chest, stop at the highest point, count from one to five, and then slowly lower the knees.
Perform this action for six times as a set, then take a break and repeat another set, which has a very good effect on eliminating abdominal fat.
In addition, daily habits can also lead to the accumulation of fat around the waist. Therefore, to have a perfect waistline, it is very important to change bad habits.
