With this Japanese technique to lose weight you only need a towel ...
You'll know how strenuous the weight loss process can be.
After all, there are many things to do; starting with the diet, going through strength exercises, and ending with some cardio (depending on your goals). In any case, many people choose to go through the overwhelming task of losing weight through physical exercises and rigorous regimens, but there are those who prefer other less orthodox methods or tendencies to burn calories; One of those trends that appeared on the Internet in recent months is the Japanese towel method, and the truth is that Internet users have been impressed with their results.
The idea is that, due to our busy schedules and lifestyles, we don't have the time to go to the gym or take a particular diet. This makes the process a big problem and almost impossible for many. However, with the Japanese towel technique, you will only need a few minutes in the calm of your home to carry it out. In addition, this method is particularly good for many mothers who struggle with those extra kilos after giving birth, and who do not have time or desire to exercise.
Dr. Toshiki Fukutsudzi, a doctor from Japan, studied these types of situations and wanted to find an efficient way to carry it out; Now, his technique is all the rage in Asia. Exercising 3 times a day not only helps eliminate stubborn fat around the waist, but also improves the overall posture of the human body. Fukutsudzi believes that people who have a problem with pelvic bone and subcostal bone alignment tend to accumulate fat specifically in the waist and abdominal region.
The good thing is that this problem, which can become tricky in the long term if left untreated, can be done through that exercise. Imagine, a weight loss exercise in the comfort of your own home, with no more equipment than a towel. It seems amazing, right? However, remember that these types of techniques are not usually endorsed by the scientific community, so their result could vary greatly depending on the person, and may not have an effect, or even damage the user's back. Therefore, it is important that you consult your doctor in case you have any type of back injury that must be taken into account.
How is it done?
The exercise is very simple, and all you will need is a medium or large size towel and several elastic bands. The time per session is about 2 minutes, but you must repeat the technique several times a day to get better results. To begin, place a fully extended towel and begin to roll it from one end to the other to form a cylinder. The dimensions of the towel must be at least 38 centimeters long, and the width 4 cm apart. So that the towel does not move, secure it at the ends with elastic bands once you have wrapped it.
Then, sit on a flat and hard surface, such as the floor, a yoga mat or a massage table. Then, place the towel on the surface and lie on your back, securing the towel at the level of the lower back; This step is extremely crucial, so don't forget to do it right (check it several times if necessary). When you are lying down, your feet should be shoulder width apart, and your fingers should bend inward and touch each other; Stretch your arms above your head and keep your palms down, making sure your little fingers are in contact.
When you have placed yourself correctly, you must maintain that position for 2 minutes, and when you finish, get back up without sudden jerks or sudden movements. That is all! This exercise can help correct posture by aligning the spine and pelvis, preventing fat from accumulating in the abdominal or hip region. It is best to practice this routine at least 3 times a day to see the results. In one study, many women noticed that their waistline decreased by about 2 weeks (performing the exercise daily); A month of dedicated practice may help you lose weight and improve your posture satisfactorily.
While doing so, you may experience some discomfort at first. This may be because your bone alignment is returning to its natural position, so it should not last long. However, if it lasts too long, perform the exercise more slowly and allow your body to adapt to the movements. In addition, from 2 minutes to the beginning, you can gradually increase the total time of the exercise to 5 minutes; This will help the tissues and body configuration change slowly. Finally, remember to consult your doctor in case you have a minor back problem or other related medical condition.
