Work is quite busy, there are also a lot of things at home, and various social engagements... really have no time to arrange a systematic fitness plan? Then don't waste the 10 minutes on your way to and from work, waiting for the bus, or taking public transportation. Because if you make good use of this time, you can secretly lose weight!
1. Pay attention to your walking posture
On your way to and from work every day, try to walk as much as possible. The walking posture is very important - stand up straight, pull in your abdomen, and tighten your buttocks. Never hunch over. If you don't tighten your abdomen while walking, no matter how much you walk, it won't stimulate your abdominal muscles, and your belly won't shrink. Moreover, hunching will disrupt your body's sense of balance and reduce the exercise effect of walking.
2. Increase your stride
Walking as a form of weight loss exercise should not be like casual strolling. You need to increase your stride appropriately. Only by striding forward can you exercise your thigh muscles and avoid having thick calves.
3. Heel strikes first
The heel should strike the ground first instead of the entire sole being flat on the ground. Place your center of gravity on the front foot. For each step, the front foot should touch the ground in the order of heel, arch, and toe. This kind of walking naturally lifts the heel, making the leg lines tight and proportionate.
4. Swing your bag to exercise your arms
Women generally carry handbags when they go out. Under conditions that do not disturb others, you can treat it as a "miniature exercise equipment" and swing it back and forth. This action of swinging the bag can exercise the arm muscles. However, if the bag is too heavy, do not swing it back and forth. Otherwise, it can easily damage the shoulder joint and may even injure surrounding pedestrians.
5. Exercise while waiting for the bus
You still have something to do while waiting for the bus or traffic lights. You can use this time to practice pulling in your abdomen. Concentrate your attention on your abdomen and fully tighten it, feeling as if your navel is close to your back. Hold this position for 6 seconds and then relax. Repeat these simple exercises whenever you have time!
6. Sitting on the bus
When you have a seat on the bus, you can do some light exercises comfortably. Position your legs at a 90° angle, keep your heels fixed, and repeatedly move your toes up and down. This motion can exercise the muscles of the calf, making the calf lines more proportionate.
At the same time, sitting also allows you to exercise your abs. Keep your legs together and lift them about 5 centimeters off the ground, suspending them in the air for as long as you can hold the position.
7. Standing on the bus
Even without a seat on the bus, it doesn't matter because you can still do many small exercises while standing. Grab the hanging strap on the bus, alternately gripping tightly and relaxing. Repeating this can make your wrists thinner. Or grip the railing, count the beats, and simultaneously forcefully contract your abdomen inward. This method effectively tightens the abdominal muscles, gradually shrinking the belly.
