Is walking with your stomach in good for your health?

Nowadays, there are more and more obese people. Many foodies have no restraint in eating, do not like to exercise and are usually lazy. In this case, they are more likely to be obese. There are many people with fat in their abdomens. Some people do not look fat in other parts of the body, but have fat in their stomachs, which makes them look unsightly when wearing clothes. We have to walk every day. For those who have busy lives, they can improve the phenomenon of abdominal fat by walking to tighten the abdomen. Is walking to tighten the abdomen good for the body? Let’s take a look at it next.

1. Is it good for your health to hold your stomach in while walking?

Walking with your abdomen tucked in is good for your body. This action can exercise the transverse abdominal muscle, rectus abdominis, and other muscles in the abdomen. Although it can hardly be called exercise or serious physical exercise, it can indeed train the abdominal muscle tissue and consume more calories. In addition, when it comes to the causes of a small belly, there are actually two main reasons. One is the accumulation of fat around the abdomen; the other is the weakening of muscle strength. The decrease in muscle strength makes the abdomen look loose, which is not conducive to fat burning. The action of tightening the abdomen exercises the abdominal muscles, so it can not only reduce the belly but also make fat loss easier. Tightening your abdomen while walking can strengthen your abdominal muscles and make them stronger and less baggy. It won't be long before your tummy is gone. If you don't shrink your belly when you walk, no matter how much you walk, it will be in vain.

2. Walking with your abdomen tucked in increases fat burning by 40%

The abdominal contraction can be done in many situations, such as when using a computer, taking the subway, etc. If combined with walking, the weight loss effect can be increased by 40%. A person weighing 50 kg burns about 26 calories by walking for 10 minutes. If he holds his abdomen in while walking, he will burn 36 calories. The difference in calories consumed in just 10 minutes is as high as 10 calories.

3. Walk to get a good figure

1. Lift your head, chest and arms

When walking, you should always keep your chest up and stomach in, and remember to swing your arms. Swinging your arms while walking can help you use more energy and make you look more energetic. Don't hunch your back, as hunching over will affect your breast development. Don't lose the big picture for the small one.

2. Follow the ground with your feet

When walking, your heel should touch the ground first, rather than the entire sole of your foot lying flat on the ground. Shift your body weight from your heels to the soles of your feet, and then to your toes. Then put your center of gravity on your front foot. With each step you take, your front foot must touch the ground in the order of heel, sole, and toes. The advantage of walking like this is that your heels will naturally lift up and your leg lines will become tighter and more symmetrical.

3. Walk lightly

If you slap the ground hard with your feet while walking, it will make a loud noise, and even give people the impression that it is as heavy as Mount Tai. In addition to being unsightly, it may also cause tibia injury.

4. Straighten your knees

Spread your knees when walking to exercise your knee ligaments and leg muscles, which can burn more fat and make your leg muscles stronger.

5. Walk with big steps uphill and fast steps downhill

Going uphill is the best time to exercise your thigh muscles. You should fully extend your stride, tighten your leg muscles and lengthen your muscle lines to make your legs thinner and longer. When going downhill, you might as well speed up your pace, so that the calf muscles can tighten more quickly and tighten the loose calf muscles.
