Especially lazy people do not want to lose weight, submitting to active training and a "painful" diet of good nutrition. It is for them that nutritionists have developed breathing exercises to lose weight, which in a few days significantly reduce volume and tighten muscles. Is it 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 is about good breathing and the saturation of the body's cells with oxygen necessary for normal life. In fact, it can be achieved through regular sport, but since it is not in usual life, it means that it is necessary to fill the gap through breathing exercises.
What are breathing exercises?
Experts say that breathing exercises help in weight loss due to the delivery of oxygen to fat cells and their subsequent combustion in the body - in this way the process is significantly accelerated (it is this fact thatencourages those who lose weight to breathe properly when playing sports). This is evidenced by numerous reviews of those who lost weight, who performed exercises with some regularity.
This is important: choosing the right type of exercise for weight loss is only recommended with the permission of your doctor. This will allow you to choose a technique that will not harm existing illnesses or injuries that have occurred once.
Today, respiratory gymnastics is represented by a different set of exercises, which are divided into techniques - body flexion, oxysize, yoga, pranayama and other practices. All of these methods are based on deep breathing, which ensures the penetration of oxygen deep into blood cells and internal organs.
The advantages of the technique
Breathing exercises to slim the abdomen, thighs, and other problem areas have the following benefits:
- Deep breathing promotes the oxidation of fat cells, causing them to burn naturally. If people always breathed properly, being overweight would not be a problem. According to specialist research, the average person uses only 25% of the lung volume.
- Saturation of the body with oxygen promotes better absorption of nutrients, vitamins and minerals through the digestive tract. This dramatically improves metabolism, which counteracts weight gain.
- Oxygen helps reduce appetite because it promotes the production of ATP molecules - the substances responsible for rapidly breaking down incoming food for energy. The same fact naturally leads to rapid satiety.
- If you breathe properly, you can get rid of toxins and other harmful substances that have accumulated in fat cells. This fact contributes to their rapid oxidation and elimination from the body.
- Respiratory gymnastic exercises are allowed even by injured people who are prohibited from standard sports.
The technique of breathing exercises for weight loss is often recommended to fight against the stomach. 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 when overeating or consuming large amounts of fatty foods, and at the same time, they are eliminated first. Therefore, if problems appear in the presented area, as well as nutritional restriction, it is necessary to do breathing exercises.
Effective courses
Exercises can be performed for weight loss by choosing a specific complex with a doctor. Otherwise, it is enough to resort to standard exercises, which will be presented below and which are effective for the general removal of excess body fat.
"Count to 4"
While standing, breathe in deeply - breathe in slowly, for this you need to mentally count to 4. Breathing is delayed - also count to 4. A slow exhale is performed, during which it is also counted toto 4. This is repeated at minus 10 times. It is recommended to do such an exercise whenever a stressful situation arises or there is a desire to eat something, but not due to restriction or diet.
"We draw in the belly"
This exercise will have a great effect on the condition of the abdomen, as it not only helps to remove excess fat, but also significantly tightens the muscles. The exercise is a normal deep breath with the nose in an upright position, with the abdomen drawn in and the muscles tense at the same time. This is followed by a slight retention of the breath. The exhale is jerked with the mouth with the lips tightly closed - while the abdominal muscles also gradually weaken. The exercise is difficult to do the first time and should be repeated at least 20 times. Therefore, such breathing is carried out throughout the day, until it reaches the norm.
"Breathing belly"
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 in a chair, bend your knees at a right angle, perform characteristic abdominal breathing, straining your abdominal muscles. The exercise begins with 10 repetitions, gradually increasing the load up to 40 consecutive breaths.
"Pressure change"
Respiratory gymnastics can be performed in the supine position. Lie on the floor, bend your knees, place your left hand on your chest and your right hand on your stomach. The exercise is performed by taking deep breaths with the chest, during which the stomach is sucked - in addition, it is squeezed with the hand. When exhaling, the belly is swollen and the chest is compressed. Do at least 20 repetitions, you can increase the number of breaths, but without reducing the volume of the lungs.
Practical advice: To make this kind of weight loss more fun, it is recommended to perform exercises with class videos or calm music.
Recommendations
In order for breathing exercises to have a positive effect on weight loss, you need to follow the simple recommendations and rules of the "developers". The basic principles for performing breathing exercises include:
- regular performance;
- performing for a long time is better all the time;
- breathing should be measured and slow;
- it is recommended to start breathing exercises on an empty stomach - this will not cause abdominal pain, shortness of breath and headache;
- treat yourself to 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 weight deviation from the norm, then they adhere to in addition to good nutrition. Here we distinguish the rejection of fatty, starchy and sweet foods.
Often, for motivation and regular exercise, women and men specially sign up for yoga, oxisize, body flex and other classes. Here the trainer will help eliminate possible mistakes, which are often made by beginners, and individually draw up a scheme for performing the exercises. It should also be noted that the weight of breathing exercises slowly decreases - it is much faster to assess the result by the reduced volumes.
