Sports enthusiasts like to pose upside down on their social media, and wherever they go, they always say 'YOUCANYOUP'! You should know that handstand not only looks cool but also has great weight loss effects.
The principle of inverted weight loss
Medical experts believe that the human body is a dynamic and comprehensive balance system, so motion should be omnidirectional, including both forward and reverse movements, in order to achieve the dynamic and comprehensive balance required by the human body.
The moving organs, due to the reverse order of relaxation, can exercise the extensor and flexor muscles, thereby playing a healthy and shaping role.
Inverting can promote blood circulation and detoxification in the body, and a period of time per day can make the whole person look better and younger.
From the perspective of exercising the body, handstand can concentrate on exercising upper limb strength, relieve back pressure, and also exercise the muscles of the lower abdomen and buttocks, which is very helpful for practicing vest line and hip curling.
Classification and precautions for inverted structures
Handstand
There are three types of handstands: hand handstand, head hand handstand, and elbow handstand. Regardless of the type of handstand, the requirements for strength and movement are relatively high.
Handstand
For those who are just starting to stand upright, it is best to do so for 10 seconds each time. Gradually increase the time for standing upright, and it would be better to ask for support during the process.
Elbow handstand
When practicing handstand, keep your eyes tightly closed, concentrate your thoughts, and preferably use chest breathing.
