Breathe and lose weight

A beautiful figure is not always the result of long workouts and painful diets. Sometimes proper breathing technique helps you become slimmer. How to breathe to lose weight? Fitness trainer Anita Lutsenko knows the answer, sharing with us a few important rules that will help you learn to breathe correctly and lose weight at the same time.

It is no secret that most people have shallow breathing, because of this the body's cells do not receive the required amount of oxygen. The result of shallow breathing is a slow metabolism, cellulite and increased irritability. Energy consumption is much greater if you breathe intensively. If we breathe slowly, then energy accumulates in our body.

Breathe deeply, therapists and fitness trainers advise us, and for good reason: after all, this is one of the easiest ways to stay healthy, cheerful and slim. True, few people listen to them: we are used to taking short breaths and exhalations. Experts call this breathing method thoracic or chest expansion.

“With this method, air circulation in the lungs is minimal, which makes breathing shallow and intermittent. Ultimately, this leads to numerous diseases, including obesity, hyperventilation and panic disorders.",

The way out is to take deep breaths, filling the area of ​​the diaphragm with air, a muscle that, when contracting, creates a vacuum in the space between the lungs and the chest. How to check that you are breathing correctly? Place your palm on your stomach: as you inhale, it should rise, and as you exhale, it should fall. Therefore, by the way, another name for the diaphragmatic method is “belly breathing.”

Still don't believe it will make you slimmer? In vain.
Deep and even breathing helps fight stress and anxiety, which we are used to eating buns and chocolates. Therefore, the more correctly we breathe, the less we overeat, which means we lose weight. Breathing deeply can speed up the process of losing weight and significantly strengthen the main muscle groups, because... Full breathing speeds up our metabolism, which helps us burn extra calories and makes us feel better overall.

So, three exercises from Anita Lutsenko. For proper breathing, which activates the work of internal organs, you need to place one hand on your chest and the other on your stomach. Start breathing through your nose and at the same time apply a little pressure on your stomach with your hand. Breathe calmly.

Exercise "Frog"
The exercise is borrowed from the Jianfei breathing exercises for weight loss. Here is its full description:

Sit on a chair so that your shin and thigh form a right or slightly smaller angle, your knees apart at shoulder level. The woman clenches her left hand into a fist and clasps the clenched fist with her right palm, the man clenches his right hand into a fist and clasps it with his left palm. Place your elbows on your knees and place your forehead on your fist, then you need to close your eyes, touch your lips with a smile, relax your whole body and take the most comfortable position, bring yourself to a state of complete peace.

Then you need to regulate your thoughts and nervous system, that is, calm down, relax internally. To do this, it is enough to first take a breath, as if after fatigue, so that the whole body seems to go limp. Now try to think about the most beautiful and joyful things in your life (for example, that you are lying on the grass by the water and enjoying nature) in order to get mental satisfaction and peace. For a minute or two you remain physically and mentally calm and pleasant.

After you have settled your thoughts, proceed to the main stage of the “Frog” exercises. All thoughts are completely focused on breathing exercises. First, take a free breath through your nose and move the air, helping yourself mentally, into the abdominal area, then through your mouth, exhale lightly, slowly, evenly - at the same time, you get the feeling that the abdominal area is gradually becoming relaxed and soft. When you have slowly exhaled all the air, inhale again through your nose, the inhalation should also be light, slow, even. During a sigh, the lower abdomen gradually fills with air and swells. When your stomach is full, freeze for two seconds, then take an additional short breath, after which you immediately begin to exhale slowly. This creates a breathing cycle - exhale, inhale, freeze for two seconds, inhale briefly and exhale again, inhale, and so on. During the breathing process, the chest does not rise, only the abdominal area either retracts or swells, which is very reminiscent of a frog.

During the “Frog” exercises, you need to monitor the degree of filling of the abdomen with air when inhaling, taking into account the state of your body, otherwise unwanted deviations are possible. These exercises should not be done if there is internal bleeding or for those who have not yet completed the three-month period after internal surgery.

For those who suffer from cardiovascular, gastrointestinal and other serious diseases, it is enough to increase the degree of filling of the abdomen with air when inhaling to 10 - 20 percent. During menstruation, it is better for women to stop exercising and replace them with “Lotus” exercises. The vast majority of healthy people and people suffering from common chronic diseases can perform these exercises, and the degree of abdominal filling with air can be increased to 80 - 90 percent.

The Frog exercises take about 15 minutes. After completing them, do not open your eyes immediately to avoid dizziness. Raise your head with your eyes closed, rub your palms together 10 times, then “comb” your head several times with the fingers of both hands, then open your eyes, clench your hands into fists, lift them up, stretch, take a deep breath, after which your eyes will become clearer and your strength

During the period of intensive weight loss, these exercises should be done three times a day, each time for 15 minutes; can be done during regular meal times, or you can choose another time.

“Frog” exercises stimulate blood circulation throughout the body and metabolism in the body. And this, in turn, has a beneficial effect on the skin of the face. When you inhale and exhale deeply, the diaphragm of the chest rises and falls, which plays a wonderful role in massaging the internal organs.

“Frog” exercises raise the tone of the entire body and effectively eliminate or mitigate all the adverse effects that food restriction usually causes.

Bhastrika Exercise

Bhastrika or "breath of the bellows" - this is one of the yoga techniques, which everyone is recommended to do every day, and perhaps in general one of the most important breathing exercises of hatha yoga.
To perform Bhastrika, you should actively inhale the air with force, and then exhale it with the same force. Just as in a forge the fire is fanned with the help of bellows, such breathing increases the “inner fire” in the body of the practitioner, which is considered very beneficial for health and progress in yoga.
So, start breathing with effort, powerfully, through both nostrils: inhale and exhale without pauses between breathing cycles, At the same time, stick your stomach out and bring it back sharply. The length, effort and time of inhalation and exhalation should be equal, this is important.
Don’t strain, don’t need to specifically “help” yourself with your body; the face is relaxed. Observe the movement of the abdomen and the work of the diaphragm.

Do 10 bellows breaths, then inhale deeply, exhale slowly, and then allow the breath to flow freely without doing anything with it. This is 1 approach. Avoid rushing the practice: if you experience any effects of hyperventilation, then you need to slow down the rhythm of the practice. Some people experience discomfort during Bhastrika.

If while performing Bhastrika you begin to experience dizziness, ringing in the ears, nausea - you are overzealous, you need to do Bhastrika more relaxed, slowly, or do fewer repetitions in each phase.
Do 1-3 such approaches, and at the end sit still for 3-5 minutes, allow your breathing to completely return to normal.

Mastering this technique will take a long time, but at the initial stage it is not at all difficult to practice. So, by trying Bhastrika today, you can get great benefits from it. Bhastrika must be mastered gradually, avoiding discomfort. Under no circumstances should you do this practice “out of your means,” regardless of the discomfort: such an unreasonable practice can harm even a strong and healthy person!

Please note that Bhastrika has a number of contraindications: high blood pressure, heart disease, umbilical hernia, stomach ulcer, paralysis, epilepsy, dizziness.
It should be practiced with caution in case of asthma, chronic bronchitis, and after tuberculosis. All people with the above complaints should first consult a leading yoga therapist before starting their own practice.

Exercise Vacuum

This technique allows you to work the transverse abdominal muscle, which holds all the internal organs. In fact, it is precisely because of the relaxation of this muscle that the stomach looks imperfect.

Anita in the video does this exercise simply by standing straight, but there is a more correct technique for performing it according to the yogi method.
The Vacuum exercise is done as follows: you need to stand straight, spreading your legs shoulder-width apart. While inhaling deeply, bend your body slightly forward and bend your knees, placing your palms on your thighs. Then all the air from the lungs is exhaled, and at this time the stomach is drawn inward as much as possible. At this moment, the abdominal wall and all internal organs should seem to shift under the ribs.

To perform this exercise correctly, you need to monitor the position of your head. The head should be slightly tilted down, as if you want to press your chin to your chest, but you should not look at the floor, but straight. It is this position that prevents air from entering the lungs.

In addition, your back should be perfectly straight while performing the exercises. If done correctly, you will feel like your internal organs are slightly rising towards your ribs. Essentially, this is what happens. Hold your stomach in a retracted position for at least 10 seconds, slowly relax it, restoring your breathing.

The number of repetitions is purely individual - repeat the exercises until you feel that it is difficult for you to completely exhale the air. In addition to losing weight and pumping up abdominal muscles, vacuum exercises heal the body. For example, in yoga it is believed that it rejuvenates the nerves of the gastric tract and intestines, promotes the elimination of toxins, strengthens the back muscles, which has a good effect on posture, massages the internal organs, and also rejuvenates the internal glands.

In mastering the art of holding the stomach in a complete vacuum, the most important thing is consistency. Despite the apparent simplicity of this technique, it is unlikely to be performed correctly the first time. However, do not despair, because judging by the results of people who actively engage in these exercises, after about a month of constant training, the stomach will not only be toned, but perfectly flat. This technique is often used in their training by professional bodybuilders and bodybuilders.

My advice is to vacuum throughout the day. Just control your abdominal muscles during all the movements you make. Try to pull in your stomach constantly, no matter whether you are standing or sitting. Over time, the transverse abdominal muscle will acquire tone and a tense state will become natural for it.

However, despite its enormous usefulness, the vacuum exercise for a flat stomach also has its contraindications. Firstly, you should not practice it if you have a stomach or duodenal ulcer, on “critical” days and during pregnancy. Secondly, this exercise must be performed with extreme caution in case of any diseases of the lungs, stomach and heart muscle.

It is important to understand that regular training in proper breathing will subsequently develop into the habit of breathing correctly always and everywhere.

Try it, master breathing techniques and get rid of that annoying tummy forever!

An effective cleansing and rejuvenating complex consisting of physical and breathing exercises, which is based on vacuum retraction of the abdomen.


With the help of deep breathing and enriching the blood with oxygen, fat cells will be burned and, while performing various exercises at the same time, we will work on the most problematic areas in the body.

It's no secret that the best way to lose weight is diet and exercise. But what should people do who want to lose extra pounds, but for some reason cannot exercise or are simply too lazy to do it? A way out of the situation can be such a “frivolous”, in the opinion of many, activity as breathing exercises. Just 15 minutes of regular breathing exercises for weight loss per day and breathing control allow you to significantly increase the speed of losing excess weight and provide a real opportunity to slowly but surely move towards a “thin” and happy life.

Researchers have long found a relationship between the process of losing weight and the process of completely saturating the body with oxygen and came to the following conclusions:

Oxygen levels in the atmosphere are slowly but steadily decreasing due to climate change (global warming) and pollution;

The fast pace and constant stress present in the life of every adult significantly changes our breathing: about 90% of men and women begin to take shallow short breaths, and such breathing is superficial and limits the saturation of the body with oxygen, which is simply necessary in sufficient quantities for separation with extra pounds.

The effectiveness of breathing exercises for weight loss

The effectiveness of breathing exercises for weight loss has long been proven by hundreds of real examples: with its help, hundreds of men and women of all ages were able to lose excess weight, improve their contours, and even solve some health problems.

Breathing exercises help activate the following processes:

• - dulls the feeling of hunger;
• - helps food digest;
• - promotes the breakdown of fat cells;
• - gives a surge of vigor and strength;
• - strengthens the immune system;
• - calms the nervous system.

Why is breathing exercises for weight loss so effective?

Oxygen ensures the absorption of nutrients in the gastrointestinal tract. Our digestive system has many tiny villi that are needed to absorb calcium, iodine, healthy fats and amino acids, and other metabolism-boosting nutrients. For maximum efficiency, the villi require more oxygen than other tissues and organs of the human body. And if there is not enough oxygen due to “shallow” breathing, the ability of the villi to absorb nutrients immediately decreases by 72%, and the metabolic rate by 30%.

Sustained weight loss depends on how quickly food and fats entering the body are converted into useful energy, when adenosine triphosphate (or ATP) molecules appear, which are actively involved in the breakdown of fat cells. But these ATPs work effectively only in a slightly alkaline environment (pH at least 7). Oxygen is a favorable factor for the development of an alkaline environment, therefore deep breathing allows you to constantly maintain pH, ideal for activating ATP and therefore breaking down fat cells.

Breathing exercises for weight loss are also considered very useful because it helps remove harmful substances(preservatives, pesticides and other toxins) that accumulate in fat cells. It has been proven that toxins have a negative impact on the production of thyroid and adrenal hormones, and the body, in an attempt to protect its vital organs, accumulates fat cells and uses them as a kind of storage for harmful substances. It turns out that up to 70% of toxins can easily be converted into gases released through deep breaths. This means that proper breathing can significantly reduce the toxic load on the body that each person receives in one way or another. To do this, simply breathe deeply and slowly - the amount of “exhaled” toxins will increase tenfold.

Oxygen entering the body, oxidizes fat deposits. Its interaction with fat cells is the first step to getting rid of extra pounds. Most of us use no more than 30% of our lung capacity. If you increase the amount of oxygen entering the body and improve the depth of breathing, fat cells will begin to break down much faster.

Breathing exercises help reducing the amount of stress hormones in blood. And many people, as you know, are accustomed to “eating” stress. If there are fewer stress hormones, the need to “eat it up” will disappear by itself, which will not fail to affect the volume of the figure.

How breathing exercises for weight loss work

All breathing exercises for weight loss are based on one principle:

special breathing causes oxygen to enter the blood faster,
and this leads to a significant acceleration of metabolism
and, therefore, to the burning of fat deposits

And here abdominal breathing is used more actively than chest breathing, since when breathing with the stomach, the diaphragm becomes more tense. The lungs expand significantly, their vital volume increases - up to 0.3 liters in two to three months of regular exercise.

In addition, abdominal breathing causes increased blood flow in the organs, and contractions of the diaphragm further stimulate them.

Types of breathing exercises for weight loss

The most popular methods today are:

• - breathing exercises according to Strelnikova;
• - "Jianfei";
• - Oxysize complex.

Bodyflex was once developed by an American named Childers Greer, who was able to adapt the yoga exercise “Uddiyana Bandha” for direct weight loss. Her book “Great Figure in 15 Minutes a Day” contains 13 exercises, of which 11 are for the body and 2 for the face. The bodyflex technique increases the concentration of carbon dioxide accumulated in the blood, which helps isolate incoming oxygen from hemoglobin. And only then “free” oxygen, along with the blood flow, is sent straight to the so-called muscle tension zone, in which the active process of fat breakdown begins.

Many people confuse the complex with the world-famous bodyflex “ Oxysize" This method of breathing exercises came to our country quite recently, and therefore there are very few experienced trainers in this complex. The mechanism of weight loss when practicing Oxysize is exactly the same as in bodyflex. But at the same time, Oxysize offers its fans a softer and easier breathing system, in which there are no sharp exhalations, therefore this type of breathing exercises has fewer contraindications - even pregnant women can successfully practice it. In addition, Oxysize has another advantage over Bodyflex: breathing exercises can be performed at any convenient time, not necessarily on an empty stomach. It is noteworthy that when exercising using the Oxysize method, calories are burned one and a half times faster than when riding an exercise bike. This complex gives a good load to the abdominal muscles: in 15 minutes they manage to contract at least 250 times. "Oxysize" is recommended for people suffering from migraines, diseases of the digestive tract, and the female reproductive system.

Breathing exercises by Strelnikova was developed back in the late 30s of the last century in the USSR as an effective way to restore voices for opera and pop singers.
This gymnastics is considered one of a kind, when a sharp and short breath is taken through the nose while compressing the chest.
This technique is recognized as effective not only for getting rid of extra pounds, but also for treating various diseases - asthma, bronchitis, acute respiratory infections, sexual disorders.

Chinese breathing exercises" Jianfei" (translated from Chinese as “losing fat”) came to Russia along with the publications of Rosa Yu Bin, an employee of the Russian version of the magazine “China”. The Chinese woman managed to use this technique to lose 10 kilograms in two months, without adhering to a special diet or playing sports. It is believed that “Jianfei” is perfect for “fasting days”, as it helps to dull a strong feeling of hunger.The complex is based on abdominal breathing and includes three exercises: “frog”, “wave” and “lotus”.

Any breathing exercise for weight loss not only helps to reduce body volume, but also has a comprehensive healing effect. It can be a real godsend for people who lead a sedentary lifestyle, those who are untrained, and those who are simply too lazy to go to the gym.

Every resident of a big city knows firsthand what a lack of natural environment and fresh air means. The same applies to many food products: if rural residents have most of the vitamins in fresh vegetables and fruits at hand, then city dwellers have a more difficult time in this matter - they have to buy everything, risking running into nitrates and other not very useful additives. Therefore, of course, everything that can be grown independently is better - it is cheaper, more environmentally friendly, and healthier. The short video presented on our website is dedicated to this issue.

One of the most important events in the life of every young girl is, of course, the school prom. This event marks the end of an entire school era and is a kind of “bridge” to adulthood.

It's no secret that many young ladies begin to think about choosing an outfit for prom long before the event itself - sometimes even a year in advance. There is no single point of view on what a dress for a prom should be, because all girls are different, each with their own style, character and features of appearance. Therefore, it is extremely important not just to blindly follow fashion trends, but to try to ensure that the graduation dress is in harmony with the graduate’s personality, reflects her individuality and emphasizes her external advantages. Many girls prefer to follow traditional rules in choosing a dress - they choose pastel colors, light fabrics, feminine silhouettes. Of course, this is already a classic, so such outfits will always be appropriate for a prom. However, if a girl wants to show off her originality, then it is quite possible to get creative - choose more unusual colors and styles. As a rule, black is considered an undesirable color - it may be too heavy and gloomy for a young girl during the prom.

How to choose a dress according to your figure

We hope that this video lesson will help each of our viewers make the right choice in favor of the most beautiful and stylish prom outfit that will allow the girl to feel like a true lady.

It’s no secret that human health is the most important thing, so taking care of your own health and your body should start from a very early age. As they say, many diseases are much easier to prevent in time than to treat later, when the disease has already begun to develop intensively.

High-quality medical services are in demand everywhere and always: both a thousand years ago and today. It is well known that the profession of an aesculapian does not tolerate unprofessionalism and amateurism, therefore you should seek medical help only from highly qualified specialists. Otherwise, poor-quality medical care may not only fail to bring the desired improvement, but, on the contrary, may further aggravate the situation and harm health.

Today, the services of large general medical centers, so-called family medical centers (or clinics), which will provide high-quality medical services to all family members: both adults and children, are in great demand.

Among the many advantages of such medical centers, I would especially like to highlight the following:

• Extremely high quality of medical services offered. The entire staff of a large center - from the head physician to the nurse - is highly qualified, has rich practical experience and an impeccable reputation, so specialists of this kind of medical institutions successfully cope with even the most complex tasks;
• Versatility. Clients of the above-mentioned private family-type clinics can safely come here with diseases of a wide variety of profiles - from therapeutic to gynecological. At the same time, an integrated approach to each patient is provided, his previous complaints and requests are taken into account.
• Comfort. One of the main disadvantages of public hospitals - the lack of necessary amenities for comfortable treatment - has been completely eliminated in private medical institutions. Both outpatients and inpatients can stay in pleasant conditions and enjoy all the necessary amenities.
• Availability of the most modern medical equipment;
• Reasonable pricing policy, fixed cost of services and the absence of any extortions, additional payments and demands for “thank you” in envelopes, which patients of so-called “free” clinics constantly face.

All of the above advantages are fully possessed by the well-known German-Ukrainian medical center Aurora, which offers everyone first-class medical services, consultations and assistance from highly qualified world-class specialists.

The violin is a wonderful musical instrument that has won millions of hearts thanks to its lyrical sound. However, violinists (both beginners and professionals) are well aware that the violin not only has a delicate and fragile sound. It is also a rather intricate instrument in itself, which requires a special approach and care.

First of all, it is worth protecting the violin from direct sunlight to avoid drying out. Under no circumstances should this musical instrument be left under the scorching sun. The same applies to severe frosts: the violin generally does not like significant temperature changes, so you need to try to maintain a favorable temperature regime in the place where the instrument is stored. Remember that you should not leave the violin near open heat sources: fireplaces, air heaters, stoves, and so on.

Second, no less important advice: the violinist must constantly monitor the level of humidity in the environment where the violin is stored. This musical instrument does not like either excessive humidity, since it causes the wood to become damp and possibly even mold, or too dry air, because in the latter case, cracks and other damage may appear on the wood - and the instrument will become completely unsuitable for use. Experts recommend maintaining an optimal indoor humidity level of 45-60 percent.

An extremely important responsibility of the violinist is also the regular cleaning of the instrument, which should preferably be cleaned and wiped after each use. Do not neglect this responsibility in order to avoid the appearance of dirt, abrasions and other unpleasant signs of use on the body of the violin. To avoid this, we suggest using online stores, for example,

However, even if you fully comply with all the basic recommendations for caring for a violin, its owner is not insured against damage to the instrument. Both as a result of natural wear and tear (if the violin was used for a sufficiently long period of time), and as a result of some unforeseen accidents (blows, falls, other mechanical damage).

If such troubles occur, you should not hesitate, but contact a qualified violin maker who can offer an extensive range of instrument repair services - from replacing strings to restoring the varnish.

In life, we inhale air superficially and quickly. In this regard, the average person experiences oxygen starvation: metabolism slows down and fat deposits accumulate, resulting in unnecessary kilograms. Regular exercise for 15–20 minutes a day and monitoring your breathing will help you quickly and effectively lose weight.

How it works?

Most people, especially women, breathe in through their chests. During this exercise, abdominal breathing is actively used, which increases blood flow in the organs, and contractions of the diaphragm further stimulate them. Deep breathing also causes oxygen to enter the blood faster, which speeds up metabolism and burns fat deposits.

In two to three months of regular exercise, lung volume can increase by 0.3 liters.

Why is this effective?

Oxidation of fat deposits

The interaction of oxygen with fat cells is the first step to losing excess weight. Once in the body, it oxidizes accumulated fat deposits.

Breakdown of fat cells

Getting enough oxygen into the body helps maintain the level of alkaline environment necessary for the breakdown of fat cells. Thus, weight loss occurs due to the rapid processing of consumed food into useful energy.

Speeding up the digestion process

Oxygen ensures the absorption of beneficial elements obtained from foods in the gastrointestinal tract. With shallow breathing, the absorption of nutrients decreases by 72%, metabolism slows down by 30%.

Removal of harmful substances

Breathing exercises help remove harmful substances from the body that accumulate in fat cells (preservatives, pesticides). With the help of deep breathing, you can reduce the harmful effects of toxins and waste by 70% and remove them from the body in the form of gas.

It has been proven that toxins negatively affect the production of thyroid and adrenal hormones. The body, protecting itself from this harmful effect, accumulates fat cells and uses them as storage for toxins. As a result, your weight increases.

Stabilization of the nervous system

Thanks to deep breathing, you not only improve your body, but also improve your mental state. Performing special exercises will help you concentrate, take your mind off everyday problems and be alone with your thoughts.

Fighting overeating

Stressful situations prompt many people to consume unnecessary calories in the form of chocolate and candy. By receiving enough oxygen in the body for 10 minutes, the production of cortisol (stress hormone) is reduced by 50%.

Breathing exercises for weight loss dull the feeling of hunger, help food digest, promote the breakdown of fat cells, calm the nervous system, strengthen the immune system, and give a surge of vigor and strength.

Types of breathing exercises for weight loss

The most popular today among the numerous breathing techniques for losing weight are bodyflex, the Oxycise complex and Chinese Jianfei gymnastics.

Bodyflex

This technique combines yoga exercises aimed at strengthening the diaphragm and abdominal muscles with proper breathing.

The program was developed by 53-year-old American Greer Childers, who was able to return to clothing size 44 (after 56) after the birth of three children.

You should train strictly on an empty stomach (preferably in the morning). Another important rule is to avoid strict diets or fasting, since energy costs will already be colossal. The scheme for performing all the exercises is as follows: you go through four stages of breathing (exhale - inhale - exhale - pause), while holding your breath, take a certain position for a few seconds and only then inhale air (fifth stage).

Five-step diaphragmatic breathing

1. Exhale completely through the mouth. Round your lips, stretch them forward, and exhale calmly and slowly through your mouth. You must literally squeeze out all the air from your lungs and then close your lips tightly.

2. Inhale quickly through your nose. Take a sharp breath through your nose, drawing oxygen into your lungs to capacity. If you did everything correctly, then you should get a noise effect. Now hold all the air inside you.

3. Exhale sharply through the mouth from the diaphragm. Open your mouth wide, sharply squeeze the muscles of the diaphragm and abdomen. Such an exhalation should be accompanied by a whistling sound “py-yh” or “pa-ah”.

4. Holding your breath. Tilt your head slightly toward your chest. Gradually pull your stomach under your ribs until a hollow forms. There should be a sensation of touching the spine. Try to stretch the whole process from three to eight bars with the following count (to yourself): one-one-one, two-two-two and so on.

5. Inhale through the nose. When you count to eight (ideally), inhale. Relax all your muscles and allow air to freely enter your lungs with a sound reminiscent of a sob: “whoosh.”

The complex contains 13 exercises. We bring to your attention five breathing exercises that are best for beginners.

"Cat". Get on all fours, rest on your palms and knees. Keep your head level, back and arms straight. While holding your breath, pull in your stomach and tilt your head down while arching your back up. Go through three stages of breathing according to the bodyflex system, fix this position while holding your breath (fourth stage), then inhale (fifth stage) and return to the starting position.

"Boat". Sit on the floor, spread your straight legs wide, toes pointing to the ceiling. Place your hands behind your back, rest your palms on the floor. While holding your breath, move your arms forward, trying to bend as low as possible. Exhale, straighten up and place your hands behind your back. Do three repetitions.

Side stretch. Starting position standing. Place your left elbow on your bent left knee. Pull the toe of your right foot and extend this leg to the side, while the foot should not lift off the floor. While holding your breath, raise your right hand up and stretch it to the left side (from the side you should feel all the muscles stretching from the waist to the armpit). Do three to four repetitions on each side.

"Martin". Get down on the floor, lean on your elbows and knees. Extend one leg back with your heel pointing up. At the same time, your head should be raised and your gaze directed forward. While holding your breath, squeeze your buttocks while you count to eight. Do three repetitions on each leg.

"Scissors". Lie on your back and straighten your legs. Place your hands, palms down, under your buttocks. The head lies on the floor, the lower back is also pressed: it should not come off the floor during the exercise. While holding your breath, lift your legs up 10 centimeters from the floor and make 10 quick, wide swings. Do three to four sets.

Contraindications:

• severe cardiovascular pathologies,
• increased intracranial pressure, cerebral aneurysms,
• the presence of implants in the spine,
• recently undergone spinal surgery,
• the presence of acute inflammatory and infectious diseases,
• exacerbation of chronic diseases,

Oxycise

The complex differs from bodyflex in a softer and more gentle breathing system, without sharp inhalations and exhalations. Therefore, it is suitable for weakened people and pregnant women. Another advantage of this gymnastics is that it can be performed at any convenient time.

Breathing technique

When performing exercises using the Oxycise system, the following breathing technique is used: inhale, three additional short breaths, exhale and three additional short exhales.

1. Inhale. Breathe in calmly and slowly through your nose. The stomach is inflated, the shoulders and chest are motionless. It is recommended to smile widely so that the nostrils widen and more oxygen enters the body. When you feel your lungs are full, tighten your buttocks and take three more short breaths.

2. Exhale. Pull your lips and exhale forcefully. Try to keep your buttocks tight and smile. When you feel like all the air has come out, take three more short exhalations. Keep your buttocks pulled in and your head straight.

After mastering the breathing technique, you can begin gymnastics. The Oxycise complex includes many exercises; we have selected the most effective ones according to reviews.

Abs training. Stand up straight, pull your stomach in a little, point your buttocks forward. The knees should be slightly bent, the lower back should be straight, and the shoulder blades should be retracted. In this pose, inhale and exhale using the technique you have mastered.

Squats along the wall. Lean your back against the wall, clasp your palms in front of your chest and slowly squat down. When your thighs reach parallel to the floor, use a special breathing technique. Do three approaches.

Wall push-ups. At the moment of greatest tension, stand on your toes, straighten up and perform one breathing cycle.

"Rocket". Lie on your back and imagine as if you are being pulled by your arms and legs in different directions. While stretching, inhale and exhale using the Oxycise system.

"Cobra". Roll over onto your stomach, place your arms in front of you and bend back. Having stretched your abdominal muscles, begin breathing exercises.

Jianfei

Chinese gymnastics allows you to quickly improve your metabolism. Recommended for those who are on a diet, as it dulls the feeling of hunger. A small complex includes only three exercises.

Chinese woman Rosa Yu Bin only with the help of Jianfei gymnastics got rid of 10 extra kilograms in a few months without dietary restrictions or sports activities.

Each of the three exercises in the Jianfei system has its own focus and can be used at different times and in different quantities.

"Wave": to reduce hunger. Lie on your back, bend your knees and place your feet flat. One palm should be on the chest, the other on the stomach. Begin breathing exercises with light assistance from your hands. Take a deep, leisurely breath, while drawing in your stomach and lifting your chest. Hold your breath for a few moments and exhale. When exhaling, try to draw in your chest and, on the contrary, inflate your stomach.

"Frog": to restore the central nervous system. Sit on a chair, place your feet shoulder-width apart (under your knees - a straight or acute angle) and place your elbows on your knees. Clench your hand into a fist (men - right, women - left) and clasp it with your other hand. Rest your forehead on your fist, close your eyes and relax. Fill your stomach completely with air, alternate inhalations and exhalations through your mouth and nose, hold your breath for 1–5 seconds.

“Lotus”: to relieve fatigue and internal tension, regulate metabolism, improve blood circulation. Sit on a low chair or in the “Buddha pose.” Place your hands on your feet, palms up (women place their left hand on top of their right, and men, on the contrary, put their right hand on top of their left). The lower back is straightened, the shoulders are lowered, the chin is tilted slightly down, the eyes are closed.

1. For the first 5 minutes, breathing is deep, even, inhalations and exhalations are long. The chest and stomach should rise imperceptibly.
2. For the next 5 minutes, inhale the air naturally and at ease. As you exhale, relax completely and concentrate on achieving silent, even, deep breathing.
3. For the last 10 minutes, breathe as usual, without paying attention to the depth and rhythm. Clear your mind of extraneous thoughts, relax and calm down.

Contraindications

If there is internal bleeding (menstrual or postoperative period), temporarily refrain from performing the “Frog” exercise. The remaining exercises have no contraindications.

All three proposed breathing exercises for weight loss not only promote weight loss, but also have a general healing effect. This is an excellent option for people who, for some reason, cannot lead an active lifestyle and visit. With proper breathing techniques and daily exercises, the results will not take long to arrive.

Breathing exercises turned out to be very relevant for those who want to lose weight, who do not like active fitness or do not have the physical training for intense exercise. It also interested men who were already bored with the monotonous jumping, running and exercise equipment. Breathing exercises provide an excellent fat-burning effect, especially in the abdominal area. If you do breathing exercises correctly for 15 minutes a day, your body shape will noticeably tighten. If you do them constantly, then you can completely forget about the problems of excess weight and chronic fatigue.

Types of breathing exercises popular among women and men: , oxysize, .

American experts studied the effect of breathing exercises on the body. It turned out that such gymnastics for quick weight loss is more effective than cycling (or exercising on an exercise bike) and jogging, since it burns several times more calories.

The exercises are based on a combination of deep breaths and exhalations with muscle tension. You take a certain pose, take a deep breath, tense different muscles for a few seconds, and then exhale and relax.

The point is that such exercises saturate the body's tissues with oxygen. A sufficient amount of oxygen helps maximize the absorption of beneficial substances in the organs of the digestive system, accelerates metabolic processes and increases metabolism. Toxins and waste are eliminated, and excess fat molecules are converted into energy needed by the body. The glands work correctly and produce the right amount of hormones.

What is bodyflex

Gymnastics for weight loss - bodyflex - diaphragmatic breathing combined with light physical activity. The complex was developed by the American Greer Childers. The exercises involve the diaphragm, a muscular partition that separates the chest and abdominal cavities. Diaphragmatic breathing (aerobic) saturates the blood with oxygen, as a result of which lipids (fats) are oxidized and burned. Since adipose tissue is the main cause of excess weight, as the fat layer decreases, body weight also decreases.

Russian trainer Marina Korpan used the experience of Greer Childers and Jill Johnson and the ancient methods of yoga. consists of two techniques: bodyflex and oxysize. Marina Korpan's bodyflex complex - exercises combined with holding your breath while taking a deep breath. Classes are performed only in the morning and before the first meal. Start with 15 minutes and gradually increase the time.

In what cases should you not do exercises:

• During pregnancy;
• At elevated temperatures and inflammatory processes;
• With unstable intracranial and blood pressure;
• For heart diseases;
• For head injuries;
• For cholelithiasis;
• For glaucoma;
• In case of exacerbation of any disease.

What is oxysize

The Oxysize technique, a type of Bodyflex, appeared relatively recently. Oxysize has no contraindications, even during pregnancy. Gymnastics looks very aesthetically pleasing, and you won’t spend much time learning the lessons. Start with 15 minutes, perform all the techniques correctly, and the effect will show that such exercises are no less effective than other types of gymnastics.

Oxysize gymnastics for weight loss is performed without holding your breath. Author Jill Johnson combined breathing practice and the principle in the course. The complex includes 30 exercises. You quickly take a deep breath, tensing your muscles, exhale, and then three more short exhalations. Oxysize works primarily on the abdominal muscles, so it is believed that this is the most suitable gymnastics for losing belly fat.

Chinese gymnastics jianfei

Chinese breathing exercises for weight loss are similar to yoga exercises. Let us dwell in more detail on two varieties: jianfei and qigong, popular among men. The Jianfei complex consists only of breathing techniques without physical exertion. Therefore, do it at home, in the office, in the park, in the car, in nature and anywhere. In addition to getting rid of unnecessary pounds, jianfei strengthens the immune system, relieves the feeling of chronic fatigue, maintains fortitude and has a beneficial effect on the nervous system.

The Jianfei gymnastics complex consists of 3 exercises that are performed in a vertical and horizontal position. Relax and clearly monitor your breathing. Inhale air through your nose, transfer it to your stomach, and exhale slowly through your mouth. Do each exercise for 15–20 minutes.

The Jianfei technique is safe and even therapeutic, because by saturating tissues with oxygen, it reduces weight, accelerates the regeneration process and rejuvenates the body.

Qigong practice

The practice of Qigong is the oldest Chinese system of healing and maintaining normal weight. Qigong is practiced not only to lose weight and improve the health of the body, but also to strengthen the spirit. Properly performed breathing exercises and regular exercise will bring your quality of life to a high level. The complex is based on the theory that the body does not receive energy from the outside, but produces it itself. And the main thing is to distribute it correctly.

The qigong technique harmonizes the work of all systems, and if the body functions according to the laws of nature, then the problem of excess weight does not arise.

The qigong complex for weight loss consists of two mandatory points: breathing exercises and a special diet. Don't overeat, don't overeat at night, replace meat foods with plant foods, and use sweet, salty, sour, bitter and spicy in equal measure - these are the lessons that conscientious students learn first. This approach normalizes the functioning of the digestive system and reduces appetite.

There are many exercises in qigong practice. Start with the simplest ones, spending 15 minutes a day doing it, and then gradually add more complex ones. The complex consists of static, dynamic, balance and coordination exercises.

Gymnastics Strelnikova

A unique breathing technique was created in the Soviet Union in the 30s and 40s of the 20th century to restore the singer’s lost voice. But the effect of Strelnikova’s gymnastics turned out to be more extensive than planned, so even in our time the practice is used to treat diseases of the vocal apparatus and prevent other pathologies.

Strelnikova’s gymnastics for weight loss is based on breathing exercises and active work of all parts of the body. It is important to inhale correctly - short and sharp through the nose. Thanks to this intake, oxygen is maximally absorbed by tissues and metabolic processes are improved.

Strelnikova’s gymnastics are suitable even for children. It is recommended for building immunity and protecting the entire body.
