4 yoga moves you must know to reduce your stomach (picture)
orthostatic flexion
The seemingly simple action is actually a comprehensive stretching, a full-body exercise of the back lines, arms, chest, abdomen, legs.
Step 1: Separate your feet naturally, as wide as your shoulders, straighten your arms behind your back, parallel to the ground, and tighten your fingers tightly.
Step 2: Slowly bend forward, slowly move your chest closer to your legs, and lift your hands from the back to the top. Keep it upright throughout the process. Push your upper body down as much as possible to feel the stretching of your back and your abdomen. Breathe it into your stomach, don't bulge it out, feel the rush of breathing.
Step 3: To reach the maximum of your body, hold for 5 breaths, put down your hands, and slowly stand up, but don't be too violent. You can make a few more round trips.
Back wall leg press
Step 1: Fold the cushion in half and make a thicker layer to avoid hurting the kneecaps. Kneel on your right leg and support your knees on the cushion. The support point is 20cm away from the wall. Stretch the palm of your right foot, turn it up, and press your toes against the wall.
Step 2: Bend your left leg in front, support your left foot hard, and press down on your hips until you feel the hip joint stretching.
Step 3: Place your left hand on your left leg, cross your right hand, straighten your upper body, retract your stomach inward, stretch your upper body upward, hold for 5 breaths, slowly lower your legs, and then repeat the exercise with your left leg.
Side support and lift legs
This is an action of separating the legs with the help of the upper limbs. It is quite stretching and can be moved to the whole body.
Step 1: Starting from the push-up position, turn your body to the right side, shifting your center of gravity to your right hand and right foot.
Step 2: Slowly lift your left leg upward without losing balance, aiming at grabbing the left toe with your left hand. You cannot do it and don't force it.
Step 3: If you can approach in one go, you can gradually lift your legs to the highest position, hold for five breaths, and then change to the other side.
Lift your legs back and bend forward
The movements may seem quite difficult, but they are controllable. If you can't balance, you can practice against the wall or ask for help.
Step 1: Stand up straight, then slowly bend down your upper body until your hands support the ground, and then lift your left leg up, without force, in a straight line.
Step 2: Draw your abdomen inward, hold for five breaths, then change your left leg support, and repeat the above movements.
