Sit or lie down, close your right hand's four fingers together, press firmly on the navel, and rotate it 10 times in each direction.
Circle massage for weight loss
Use your right palm to circle from the epigastric fossa, down the left rib, down to the lower abdomen, and up the right rib, back to the starting point. Circle like this 36 times; then, use your left palm to circle in the opposite direction using the same method.
This is the simplest method. You can do it before bedtime or while watching TV. Rubbing and kneading the abdomen can stimulate the nerve endings, open the capillaries of the skin and subcutaneous fat, accelerate metabolism, and promote the excretion of waste from the skin tissue, thus helping to reduce fat.
Walking away excess fat is suitable for commuting, walking after meals, shopping for groceries, etc. According to your needs, you can choose a slow, medium, or fast pace. Walking fast does not mean rushing, it just means slightly faster than medium pace. Walking can invigorate the tendons and bones, regulate blood and qi, and lay a lasting foundation for weight loss.
Swinging arms while walking Swing your arms forward and backward with the rhythm of your steps, or raise and lower them with a large range of motion. This is beneficial for improving the upper body, shoulders, and chest activity, and can also prevent and treat shoulder periarthritis and chest tightness.
Massaging the abdomen while walking Continuously massage the chest, abdomen, and lower back with both hands while walking, which can effectively regulate the spleen and stomach function, prevent the decline of kidney qi, and improve metabolism. Relaxing walking and gentle abdominal massage also help prevent and treat indigestion and chronic gastrointestinal diseases.
