Weight loss plan! Do this in winter ~ the more you do, the thinner you will be

So troubled! Why do other people lose weight when they run, and their bodies become slimmer and more beautiful the more they run, but I don’t? On the contrary, the more I run, the more tired I feel! What's going on? Coach Li Zheyu said: If you don’t do stretching exercises properly, it is easy to cause muscle cramps, strains, sprains, soreness, stiffness, etc. Dynamic stretching exercises can promote blood circulation, start the joints and muscles to move and rotate, fill the muscles with blood, increase body temperature, and prepare for subsequent running. Today I will demonstrate the "Dynamic Stretch - Side to Side Movement" exercise for you.

[Dynamic stretching - sideways movement] Exercise steps:

Step 1: Stand with your feet shoulder-width apart.

Step 2: Cross your legs and move sideways to the left for about 15 seconds, then switch sides and move sideways to the right.

Do each exercise for 30 seconds, rest for 40 seconds, and do 3 sets in total.

【Tips for body shaping】:

The "dynamic stretch - sideways movement" is mainly aimed at cultivating a sense of rhythm and coordination, as well as using the hips to drive the strength of the lower limbs. When doing the movement, first use the right foot as the axis, and while the body leans to the right, the left foot steps to the right in front of the right foot, and then the right foot immediately steps to the right, and the left foot continues to step to the right, stepping behind the right foot. The left and right feet move sideways alternately, and the hips are used to swing the legs. While maintaining the stability of the upper body, the lower body can swing flexibly. This is very helpful for the lateral muscles of the legs and the flexibility of the hip joints.

Thanks to body sculpting coach Li Zheyu and model Zhang Chushan for the demonstration.
