Hello dear readers. Today I want to bring to your attention a simple exercise that works well on the sides, and if done correctly, also on the stomach and back.
I read that this exercise, due to muscle contraction and stretching, not only tightens the figure in general, but also contributes to faster weight loss. Since the clamps in the muscles are removed, more oxygen enters them, which speeds up all metabolic processes.
Important: the above information is from the literature I read, where several exercises were presented. A similar description was for all exercises. However, I can’t say 100 percent that thanks to these exercises, I “lose weight” faster. But in any case, with a change in diet and doing several exercises a day, I think you can still achieve results.
Exercise: technique and nuances of execution
When I found this exercise, I tried it myself. I don’t have excess weight, since I lost weight to 53 kg after 40 years (although now I weigh 55 kg, because I decided to gain muscle mass, I go to the gym with weights. I now eat more than during weight loss). With a height of 171 cm, 55 kg is very good.
Digressed from the topic. So, doing the exercise is not difficult, it may seem that it is difficult to do the slope, but in fact it is not. I'm not very flexible, but bending was easy for me. Even mom easily coped with the exercise (and she, for information, has a lot of excess weight).
Technique
Now the exercise itself: you need to stand up straight, spread your legs wide (the wider the shoulders, the wider the legs, the easier it is to perform the exercise).
Next, you should put the foot of one leg perpendicular to the other and lean towards this leg. With one hand, try to reach the heel of the foot, and raise the other up so that the hands are in one line. I provide photos:
In this position, you should linger for 5-10 seconds , after which the same should be done in the other direction. In total, 15-20 slopes should be performed in each direction.
Important: during the exercise, the legs should not be bent (by the way, you should feel how the inner parts of the thighs tense).
The body of the body cannot be tilted forward, it must go strictly parallel to the legs. When you do the exercise, you will see from your own experience that with proper execution, the muscles work better.
Regarding contraindications: in the literature, where I read about this exercise, it was said that people with spinal problems should be exercised with caution. So keep that in mind.
