1. Constipation

In the human body, the places where fat is most easily accumulated are the abdomen, waist and buttocks. Once this phenomenon occurs, it is difficult to eliminate. Therefore, if you want to get rid of the fat on your belly, you must make extra efforts. Generally speaking, most people with fat on their stomachs will suffer from constipation. Therefore, in addition to exercise and diet, you also need to have a spa regularly to relieve your lower abdomen. This will not only make the skin smoother, but also enhance the body's metabolism and make the whole body more comfortable.

2. Not active

Many friends spend a long time sitting in their office chairs working but have no time to exercise, which causes the fat on their bellies to grow. However, many people find it extremely difficult to get up and exercise, which causes them to become fatter and fatter. Therefore, for lazy friends, even if you don’t exercise, you need to take more walks. When you have time, you can climb stairs, do push-ups or sit-ups, so that you can lose belly fat.

1. Abdominal kneading

Abdominal kneading is very similar to massage. In fact, abdominal kneading can be said to be an upgraded version of abdominal massage. Compared with general abdominal massage, it is more targeted and requires the cooperation of other parts of the body.

The specific method is: first, stand still, do not separate your legs, but put them together and relax your body. Then stretch out your hands, open your left palm and place it on the back of your right hand, and then keep your hands in this position and place them below your chest.

Next is the specific abdominal kneading exercise. Starting from the previous position, move your hands in a clockwise direction toward the abdomen. Stay on the abdomen and waist for 3 minutes and concentrate on kneading and pushing.

This set of movements is a large-scale abdominal massage. During the practice, it can massage the lymph in the waist and abdomen, promote the work of the lymphatic system, promote gastrointestinal motility and speed up blood circulation, so that the waste accumulated in the abdomen can be discharged smoothly, thereby playing a role in slimming the abdomen.

When massaging your abdomen, pay attention to the speed and rhythm of your hand movements. It doesn't need to be too fast. Too fast a rhythm will increase the force, while too much force will affect the functioning of your organs. It is recommended that you practice once in the morning and once in the evening.

2. Stretching exercises

The methods just introduced require the help of both hands, while the next stretching exercise mainly drives the movement of the abdomen through stretching the body to achieve the purpose of slimming the abdomen.

First, lie prone with your arms naturally placed on the ground on both sides of your body, and then slowly lift your upper body upward. At this time, you mainly use the strength of your abdomen. Be careful not to support the ground with your hands. Keep your upper body raised for about 10 seconds, then slowly lower it to relax, and repeat the exercise.

This set of movements does not pursue speed, so ladies can slow down as much as possible when practicing. A lower speed is helpful in exercising the slow-twitch muscles of the abdomen.

Going too fast is not conducive to reducing fat. It will only exercise the muscles, making the abdominal muscles more developed, thereby increasing the difficulty of losing belly fat. Another point is that you should not hold your breath deliberately during the exercise, but keep your breathing natural, which will be more effective in losing belly fat.
