White-collar girls must know how to cross-legged and show off their legs
Today's office workers usually sit all day long, and the veins in their legs are compressed, affecting blood circulation and often causing edema in the legs. In order to improve this situation, in addition to getting up and exercising from time to time, sitting cross-legged is also a good way.
Regular practice cross-legged not only promotes blood circulation in the legs, but also enhances the flexibility of the legs, ankles, and hips. Sitting cross-legged for 20 to 30 minutes every day before going to bed or getting up in the morning can reduce and slow down the blood circulation in the lower body, thereby increasing the blood circulation in the upper body, especially the chest and brain. It is crucial to reducing abdominal fat and achieving a perfect posture. important role.
Correct posture for sitting cross-legged
When practicing sitting cross-legged, the correct posture is to bend and cross your legs respectively, place the left ankle joint on the right knee joint, keep the upper body straight, lean forward slightly, and place your hands on the navel with your hands crossed. Hold this position, sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Beginners may not be able to do it properly due to lack of flexibility. They can first put a thick cushion under their buttocks, and then gradually transition to standardized movements and sit cross-legged with their legs crossed.
During practice, you should close your eyes and sit cross-legged to adjust the entry and exit of your breath. Through a period of exercise, blood circulation in the legs can be achieved, which is conducive to relaxation of the body and mind, and improves energy and attention. In addition, cross-legged also exercises joints and relieves joint pain.
Strengthen your exercise with magazine A4 paper
Put your hands on your hips, clip the magazine between your knees, and hold your head up and chest out for about 20 minutes until your thighs feel sore. During this process, the muscles of the inside and outside thighs participate in adequate exercise and fat burning. At first, I used magazines to practice, but then I got used to it, I had to change to A4 white paper of the same thickness. Clamping white paper is much more difficult than clipping magazines, and the thigh muscles are also strengthened. When doing this action, be sure to keep your head up and chest out, so that you can truly feel the "sour" feeling between your thighs and waist, and the effect will be obvious.
When you first practice sitting cross-legged, if you persist for a long time, you will feel sore and numb in your legs. At this time, you have to endure it a little. It is really unbearable, so you can stand up and exercise. If you practice too much, you will no longer feel this way. But you should not force yourself too hard. People often feel numb until their feet become numb. This is also wrong. Long-term paralysis will hinder blood circulation and cause various diseases.
When practicing sitting cross-legged, you may wish to practice in the order of these four sitting positions:
Step1 Japanese sitting posture:
Kneel on a stool or bed first, keeping your waist and back straight, and then sit your hips on your legs, that is, all the weight of your upper body is pressed on your thighs. Persist for 15 to 20 minutes each time, 1 to 3 times a day. This action can build leg resilience, stretch leg muscles, and change the phenomenon of too much fat in the thighs by sitting.
Step2 Right-angle sitting posture:
Based on Japanese sitting posture, bend your knees at a 90-degree angle, open your knee joints at a 90-degree angle, and then gently press the toes with your hand to maintain balance. Hold for 2 minutes each time, resume Japanese sitting posture for 1 minute, and then sit at right angles for 2 minutes. Repeat this 10 times, 1 to 3 times a day. This action can effectively eliminate fat on the inner thighs and achieve the effect of slimming the legs.
Step3 Sitting position of a lady:
On the basis of sitting at right angles, tilt the upper body to the left for 15 seconds, and tilt it to the right again in the same way. Go back and forth 30 times, 1 to 3 times a day. Long-term exercise has a significant effect on reducing outer thigh and waist fat.
Step4 Sitting cross-legged:
When reading or watching TV in the dormitory, change your lazy sitting posture, straighten your back, sit cross-legged, persist for 20 minutes, change to another position and rest for 10 minutes, then sit cross-legged, and repeat the cycle. Sitting cross-legged changes the X-shaped legs, reduces fat on the outer thighs and enhances leg toughness. (Internship Editor: Yan Lili)
