Okinawa🌺Pilates➕α | Tips for creating a beautiful posture to look 10 years younger💡
Good morning.
This is Vibra-sensei from Okinawa🌺.
Skills that can produce results beyond Pilates
—with that in mind,
🌺Okinawa Pilates➕α (plus alpha)
is a perfect fit to describe my activities, and I think I can explain it clearly.
Since my main job is office work, I have a typical desk-worker physique.
I'm in my 50s and had developed a stubborn middle-aged body that didn't look like a trainer's at all, but
after just two days of training, it tightened up like magic.
I stood naked in front of the mirror and
"I wonder if I'm back to my 30s."
I've been self-satisfied since this morning, haha.
Every morning, under the same conditions (empty stomach, naked),
I measure my weight and body fat
and record them on a calendar.
When I say record, I just mean
writing it with a marker on the calendar.
It's analog, haha.
There is no change in weight or body fat.
But my body line is completely different.
The flabby fat on my back and around my waist has become sleek.
Where did that fat go?
It disappeared like magic✨
I'm so happy!
If you just want to lose weight, it's easy.
If you don't eat, your weight will drop.
That's obvious.
However, even if you lose weight while still having a hunched posture,
it doesn't mean your body line will become youthful.
Especially for women over 40,
you need to be careful about not eating.
It's dangerous because muscle mass and bone density decrease.
I, for one, eat a lot.
Like a growing teenage boy.
Health comes first!
Because it's important to get nutrition and maintain physical strength.
And since my metabolism has gradually dropped with age, I understood the feeling of middle-aged weight gain and wanting to lose weight but being unable to very well.
"Oh, so this is what middle-aged weight gain is like—fat accumulating all over the body and the body line becoming rounded. I think this is also feminine and I like it, and I think it's okay because fat is needed as female hormones decrease, but as a trainer, I think it's better to tighten it up a little more. Above all, it's a shame that I can't enjoy fashion because my clothes don't fit. I don't want to suppress my appetite, so exercise is the only way."
That's what I thought.
Well, that was a long introduction, but
Spending even one minute longer with good posture
is the secret to getting rid of sagging.
If you want to make excess fat look sleek,
Bone First🦴
If you are hunched over, you can't use your back muscles at all,
and they will gradually loosen and sag.
If you are doing desk work for a long time,
it's like an occupational disease, isn't it?
Still, it's okay.
Morning, noon, night, whenever you remember,
improve your posture!
Small efforts add up to big results,
and there is a big difference between being conscious of it and not.
Even if you can't train,
please try to be conscious of at least the following points
regarding your posture first.
Points for creating good posture
① Straighten your back
② Push your navel toward your spine
③ Stretch the back of your neck straight
④ Open your collarbones horizontally
⑤ Align your face and jawline
Since this has become long,
I will explain the details of ① to ⑤
in order starting tomorrow.
I am rooting for your health and beauty.
Have a wonderful day.
