Static Exercise That Corrects Posture And Shrinks Your Waist

How to do the exercise

Sit on a rug, place a roller under your lower back and lie down gently. Check: the middle of the roller should be in the line of the navel.
The feet are shoulder-width apart and brought together so that the thumbs touch each other.
Straight arms are thrown behind the head, palms are down, little fingers touch each other.
Do not throw your head back, it should lie flat and relaxed.
Stay in this position.
Roll over on your side, remove the roller and lie on your side for 1 minute.
Get on all fours, round your back.
Stand up carefully.

During the exercise, unpleasant sensations may appear, so to begin with, lie on the roller for 1-2 minutes in the morning and in the evening, gradually bringing the session time to 5-10 minutes.

When the spine adapts to the main exercise, alternatives can be added:

a roller under the lower line of the ribs - for a better drawing of the waist;
roller under the shoulder blades - for better expression of the chest.

Why does it work

Thanks to their own weight, the bones of the pelvis, spine, hypochondrium take the correct position. The internal organs are in place, the muscles are stretched, spasms and tightness in the neck and lower back are relieved. Breathing improves because the natural ventilation of the lungs increases.

As for the decrease in the volume of the abdomen and waist, this is manifested both visually (the spine straightens and the figure stretches), and in natural weight loss (metabolic processes in the body are getting better).

What are the results

You will be able to notice improvements in the condition of the back after a few days of doing the exercise. And after a few weeks it is noted:

posture correction;
decrease in waist size;
improvement of general well-being;
in some cases, growth may increase due to the correction of the distance between the vertebral discs.

Are there any contraindications

The technique is intended not only for healthy people, but also for those who have significant back problems. However, there are contraindications:

pregnancy;
oncological diseases;
history of serious spinal injury;
bone fractures and ligament ruptures.

You need to consult an orthopedist if you have:

herniated intervertebral discs;
high degrees of scoliosis;
strong displacement of the vertebrae.

This practice is a good alternative to back strengthening exercises. Assess the importance of static: sometimes taking the right position and letting the body do everything right is the best decision.
