The Easiest Leg and Lower Back Strength Training in the World [Diet]

If you stay in bed for two days, your physical strength will drop.

I had a high fever the other day and was bedridden for two days.

Water and jelly. For when you have a cold or in an emergency. Make a habit of rolling stock.

Just from being bedridden for two full days, the decline in my legs and lower back was incredible.

My back and lower back started to hurt.

I lost the strength in my legs and lower back.

This is the state I was in after just two days.

Since it had been a while since I last had a fever, I was surprised at how much my physical strength had declined.

Muscle savings that you want to build up little by little every day.

For me, this video was a turning point in my strength training.

And this one too.

I was helped by these during the COVID-19 pandemic.

I used to think that strength training was a world where you had to pant and push through the pain for one more rep, but that was just a preconceived notion.

Now, I love using a Showa-era exercise device called the Bullworker.

I do it once a week for about 15 minutes at 50% effort.

Even with such an easy routine, you can feel the changes in your body over the course of a few months.

And furthermore, I've been doing an even easier strength training for my legs and lower back.

That is the shiko (sumo stomp).

Yoisho! You lift your leg up dynamically.

Wait, that's too difficult.

Instead, just lift one leg a little bit. Even 5mm or 1cm is fine.

The trick is to lift one foot just slightly off the ground as much as possible.
Do this one leg at a time. Lift, lower, and repeat.

You can spread your legs wide, or just stand in place.

It's the easiest and most compact shiko in the world, or rather, shiko.

You can do it anywhere.

I didn't learn it from anyone in particular; I just picked it up naturally.

Walking and running are basically just repeating the act of standing on one leg alternately.

So I think I started this because if you repeat the process of slowly and carefully shifting your weight onto one leg, it serves as mental training for your running form, and it also acts as strength training!

Posture improvement, pelvic correction, dieting, improving poor circulation, increasing concentration, and more.
Standing on one leg has many benefits too.

It is so easy that you can do it anywhere.

In the kitchen, in the bathroom, or even on the bus or train.
During your little spare moments.
The easiest and most compact leg and lower back exercise in the world.

Just put your body weight on one leg.
It is super simple, but as you continue, you will notice that blood circulation in your legs and lower back improves.

They say that the muscles in the lower body account for 70% of the entire body.
Strengthening your legs and lower back allows you to burn fat efficiently.

This is the ultimate diet machine for multitasking.

What I felt after continuing to use this fitness bike for over a year is that strengthening your legs and lower back makes your whole body feel energized.

By strengthening your legs and lower back, the feeling of being grounded becomes stronger.

When you are grounded, your mental state also becomes stable.

When your mental state is stable, you gain confidence.

In this way, I naturally feel positive effects in my daily life as well.

Try standing where you are right now and lift and lower each leg just a little bit.

Even just doing this for three minutes will make your lower body feel warm.

That was a story about the easiest sumo-style exercise in the world that you can do anywhere.

Bonus.

Dieting becomes fun when you pay attention to the numbers.
