The abdomen is an area where internal organs are concentrated. Massaging it not only promotes fat metabolism and helps slim down the belly, but also strengthens the internal organs. Following the methods below and massaging the abdomen daily can effectively help in slimming down the belly.
Gentle tapping for abdominal fat reduction
Step 1: Relax your fingers and gently tap the fattest area of your lower abdomen 20 times.
Step 2: Bend your thumbs towards the palms of your hands and make a loose fist with the rest of your fingers. Gently tap the area where fat accumulates in the lower abdomen 20-30 times.
Circular motion for abdominal slimming
Step 1: Stretch both hands and place them on your navel, overlapping each other. Cross your thumbs and align your palms with your navel. The technique is slightly different for men and women, with the left hand for men and the right hand for women at the bottom.
Step 2: Take a slight breath and contract your lower abdomen. Use both hands to massage and press in a clockwise direction for 36 circles. The friction will cause the palms to slightly heat up, which can help promote intestinal peristalsis.
Hand squeezing for abdominal slimming
Step 1: Open both hands slightly, resembling dragon claws, and gently squeeze and massage the excess fat in the abdomen until you feel a slight warmth and a slight soreness.
Step 2: Hold the fattest area of your lower abdomen with both hands. Inhale quickly and forcefully while lifting your hands upwards, then exhale and relax. Repeat 10-20 times.
Pinching waist and abdomen for slimming the belly
Place both hands on your waist, with your four fingers close together and pressed against the abdomen. Use force to pinch and stretch the excess fat on the waist and abdomen towards both sides. The intensity should be sufficient enough to feel a certain level of pain. Then, squeeze inward and hold for 3-5 seconds. Repeat the movement for 5-10 minutes.
Compression massage for abdominal slimming
Place both hands on the left side of the waist, with the palms and fingertips exerting a slight pressure, and push towards the middle of the waist. Repeat the movement 10-15 times, then switch to the other side and repeat.
