Especially lazy people do not want to lose weight, undergoing active training and "painful" diet of proper nutrition. For them, nutritionists have developed breathing exercises for weight loss, which allow you to significantly reduce the volume and tighten the muscles in a few days. Is this really possible?
It turns out that breathing exercises not only contribute to weight loss, but also significantly reduce the risk of developing most diseases - for example, cardiovascular or musculoskeletal pathologies. It's all about proper breathing and saturating the body's cells with the oxygen necessary for normal life. In fact, this can be achieved by playing sports regularly, but as it is not in everyday life, it means that it is necessary to fill the deficit with breathing exercises.
What are breathing exercises?
Experts say that breathing exercises help to lose weight due to the supply of oxygen to fat cells and their subsequent burning in the body - in this way the process is significantly accelerated (this fact encourages those who lose weight to breathe properly while playing sports). This is evidenced by numerous reviews of those who have lost weight, who performed exercises with some regularity.
This is important: Choosing the type of weight loss exercise is recommended only with the permission of your doctor. It will allow you to choose a technique that will not harm existing diseases or injuries that have occurred once.
Today, respiratory gymnastics is represented by a different set of exercises, which are divided into techniques - body flex, oxisize, yoga, pranayama and other practices. All these methods are based on deep breathing, which ensures the penetration of oxygen deep into the blood cells and internal organs.
Advantages of the technique
Breathing exercises to lose weight on the abdomen, thighs and other problem areas have the following benefits:
- Deep breathing promotes the oxidation of fat cells, resulting in their natural combustion. If people always breathed properly, there would be no problem with being overweight. According to expert research, the average person uses only 25% of lung volume.
- Oxygen saturation promotes better absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals in the digestive tract. This significantly improves metabolism, which prevents weight gain.
- Oxygen helps to dull the appetite, because it stimulates the production of ATP molecules - substances responsible for the rapid breakdown of food that comes into energy. The same fact naturally leads to rapid saturation.
- If you breathe properly, you can get rid of toxins and other harmful substances accumulated in fat cells. This fact helps their rapid oxidation and elimination from the body.
- Respiratory gymnastics exercises may be performed even by persons with injuries who are prohibited from engaging in standard sports.
Breathing exercises for weight loss are often recommended to combat the abdomen. This is due to the simple fact of the deposition of fat cells on the internal organs of the abdominal space. As a rule, these fat cells accumulate quickly in the case of overeating or intake of large amounts of fatty foods, and the former are eliminated. Therefore, if problems occur in the presented area, with dietary restrictions, breathing exercises should be undertaken.
Effective teaching
Exercises can be performed to reduce weight by choosing a specific complex with your doctor. Otherwise, it is enough to resort to standard exercises, which will be presented below and which are effective for the general elimination of excess body fat.
"Number up to 4"
In a standing position, take a deep breath - inhale slowly, for this you must mentally count to 4. Breathing is delayed - also count to 4. Take a slow exhale during which it also counts to 4. This is repeated at least 10 times. It is recommended to do this exercise every time a stressful situation arises, or the desire to eat something arises, but not because of restrictions or diet.
"We're pulling in the belly"
This exercise will have a great effect on the condition of the abdomen, as it allows not only to remove excess fat, but also significantly tighten muscles. Exercise is a normal deep breath with the nose in a standing position, when the abdomen is retracted and the muscles are tense at the same time. This is followed by a light breath hold. Exhalation is performed in twitching mouths with tightly closed lips - while the abdominal muscles are also gradually weakening. The exercise is difficult to perform the first time, and should be repeated at least 20 times. Therefore, such breathing is performed throughout the day, until they reach the norm.
"Stomach breathing"
The following exercise will help you tighten your abdominal muscles. The advantage of actions is that they can be performed at any convenient time and place. Sitting on a chair, bending your knees at a right angle, perform the characteristic abdominal breathing, tensing the abdominal muscles. The exercise begins with 10 repetitions, gradually increasing the load to 40 breaths in a row.
"Pressure change"
Respiratory gymnastics can be performed in a supine position. Lie on the floor, bend your knees, place your left hand on your chest and your right on your stomach. The exercise is performed with deep breaths through the chest, during which the abdomen is retracted - it is additionally pressed with the hand. When exhaling, the abdomen swells and the chest is pressed. Do at least 20 repetitions, you can increase the number of breaths, but without reducing the volume of the lungs.
Practical tips: To make this way of losing weight more fun, it is recommended to perform exercises with videos from classes or quiet music.
Recommendations
In order for breathing exercises to have a positive effect on weight loss, you need to follow simple recommendations and rules of "programmers". Basic principles of performing breathing exercises include:
- regular execution;
- performance for a long time is constantly better;
- breathing should be measured and slow;
- it is advisable to start breathing exercises on an empty stomach - it will not cause abdominal pain, shortness of breath and headaches;
- provide yourself with fresh air during exercise - it is better to do gymnastics on the street, in extreme cases on the balcony.
Strict adherence to the rules and recommendations for performing breathing exercises contributes to rapid weight loss. If proper breathing is a way to lose weight with a significant deviation of weight from the norm, then adhere to a proper diet. This is where the rejection of fatty, starchy and sweet foods differs.
Often, due to motivation and regular exercise, women and men especially enroll in yoga, oxisize, body flex and other courses. Here, the trainer will help to eliminate possible mistakes, which are often made by beginners, and individually create a scheme for performing the exercises. It should also be noted that the weight from breathing exercises is slowly reduced - it is much faster to assess the result according to the reduced volumes.
