Many people want to lose weight but give up because they know the process is challenging. However, there are actually many ways we can see weight loss results, even for lazy people. So how exactly can lazy people exercise to lose weight?
Methods for Lazy People to Lose Weight Through Exercise
1. Lazy Person’s Exercise Method
First Position: Vigorous Stretching
When you wake up in the morning, start by stretching. This helps your body transition smoothly from a suppressed state to an excited state. It’s recommended to intentionally increase the range of your stretches and develop a new habit of stretching vigorously.
How to do it:
After naturally stretching, interlace your fingers and place your palms facing up above your head. Alternately point and flex your toes, stretch your limbs as much as possible while gradually increasing force, and rotate your body left and right for about 10-20 seconds. This improved stretching routine expands your chest cavity and strengthens both muscle contractions and breathing exercises, quickly helping to clear your mind.
Second Position: Large Body Twists
Left and right body twists can strengthen the stretching of lower back and neck muscles, which is beneficial for preventing or relieving back, leg, and neck pain.
How to do it:
After completing the enhanced stretching, lie on your left side with your left leg straight. Bend your right leg and cross it over your left leg, placing it as far as possible toward the edge of the bed. Spread both arms horizontally and rhythmically twist your upper body to the right 10-20 times. Try to bring your right knee as close as possible to the left side of the bed surface, holding the maximum twist for 10 seconds. Then, switch sides to lie on your right side and repeat the movement.
Third Position: Rolled-Up Body Roll
This movement mainly helps restore muscle balance throughout the body and relieves fatigue.
How to do it:
After completing the previous movements, lie on your back and curl your body up. Bend your waist and tuck your head as much as possible, hugging your knees or head. Hold this position for 10 seconds, then slowly roll up and down 20 times. Finish with a natural stretch before getting up.
2. Yoga for Weight Loss
- Cross-Legged Sitting Pose
Sit with crossed legs, pressing your buttocks to the ground. Extend your arms upward. Keep your buttocks grounded while placing your left hand on your right knee. Inhale and lengthen your spine. Exhale and twist to the right, then return to the starting position with your breath. Repeat several times daily. - Lazy Cat Stretch
Kneel on the ground with hands supporting you, elongating your spine. Point your head toward the wall in front of you. Take deep breaths. Repeat this lazy cat stretch 3 times. - Downward Dog
Straighten your hands and feet on the ground, press your hands and fingers into the floor, and bend your feet. Lift your buttocks up and down while keeping your knees bent, maintaining steady breathing. - Forward Lunge
Maintain the position with hands and feet on the ground. Step your right foot forward so your toes and fingers align. Your knee should pass over your ankle as you slowly slide your left leg behind you. Breathe and repeat on the other side. - Triangle Pose
Place your right hand on your right shin or ankle and your left hand on your left ribs. Rotate left and open your body so your left shoulder aligns with your right shoulder. Turn your left foot so the toes point forward while your right toes point to the side.
