Recently, Xilin Nayi Gao's face was so dented that it was obvious.
Isn't it a bit unrecognizable? Think about the time when "Creation Camp 2020" was before, she was completely cute and bloody girly face!
So what the hell did she go through?
Oh, it turned out to be losing weight. But does Shirin, who is born with a good body, also need to lose weight? This is not to know, but at first glance, I was frightened by her weight loss plan.
Here's her diet plan.
U1S1, this diet I can't stick to for 1 day.
This is her exercise, in order to slim down has been insisting on losing weight, sadomasochistic for fun.
Hmmm, only I saw her arm, was it really too thin?
Only I found that she had lost weight, and her face was also sunken?
Only I can see, isn't the abdomen coming to abuse?
Instead, the abdomen needs core protection.
A lot of people are asking where is the core? Most think of it as the part of the trunk from the diaphragm to the pelvic floor muscles.
But some people think that this is the inner core, and the outer core needs this part plus the muscles in the hip area.
So you're getting more and more confused, where is the core? What is the core?
In fact, the core is a symbol of strength, which symbolizes the support of this part of the human body structure from the diaphragm all the way to the hip and legs.
For more on the core questions, let's take a look at the answers to this question from Eyengar Yoga Teacher, a licensed physiotherapist who wrote the Yoga Magazine article for nearly a decade.
Q: Core strength training has always been a buzzword in the fitness world, and in most fitness sports, there is a special emphasis on abdominal strength training. Why do we all think that core reinforcement is so important?
Julie Goode Mestad: The strengthening of the core strength is related to the proper support of the pelvis and spine. For 35 years, I have helped many people with back, pelvis and hip problems, and I have repeatedly observed the importance of strengthening the muscles that support the spine and pelvis.
Countless studies have also shown that core strength is an important part of pain relief and restorative healthy movements. I have strengthened the core support system, including the abs, for those who have chronic severe back pain, and their back pain has been greatly improved or even eliminated.
Q: Does yoga strengthen the core strength? If so, how can yoga poses best achieve this?
Julie Goode Mestad: There are many kinds of core strengths that we do in yoga poses.
In yoga, strength comes from the weight of the parts of the body that support it in different directions, adapting it to gravity.
Sometimes we stand, sometimes we stand upside down, sometimes we turn sideways, sometimes we lie prone, sometimes we lie on our backs.
Depending on the effect of gravity on the body part, lifting different body parts in these different positions, whether it is the arms, legs, torso, etc., will strengthen a variety of muscle groups.
That's why there are a lot of abdominal reinforcement movements in yoga that people don't even realize.
The standing posture, the core strength of yoga, is a good example. In the side-lying standing position, such as the triangle, the warrior two posture, and the half-moon posture.
The trunk muscles, including the oblique and transverse abdominal muscles, contract to support the weight of the torso, which is parallel to the floor. Lateral ventral lateral muscles contract to support the weight of the torso.
If you twist in a side pose, your muscles will be more exercised. Especially the oblique muscles, when you rotate the torso on your side, the oblique muscles can support the weight of the body.
One thing I like about yoga core strength training is that we train in muscle patterns.
If you're sitting in an apparatus and everything is being supported, and you're isolating a muscle, like a biceps, if your muscle lacks strength and you're trying to get it back to its normal strength, that's fine. But in yoga, we're actually training muscles to work together in functional patterns, which is basically very valuable to life on Earth!
If you just have a very strong biceps, you don't necessarily strengthen other muscles, such as the muscles that stabilize the shoulder blades and spine.
So you have such strong biceps, but the rest of the muscle patterns that you really need to do a functional activity aren't there.
Q: When most people do core strength training, they like sit-ups and abdominal exercises. But did you say in your article that excessive abdominal reinforcement can actually backfire?
Julie Goode Mesta: Yeah, there are a couple of important ways that this can be counterproductive. First of all, if you strengthen the front muscles, you also need to strengthen the back.
If you focus only on the muscles in the front of the body, the muscles in the abdomen and chest will become shorter and shorter, and at the same time, the back muscles will become weak and overextended. As a result, the person is often pulled by muscles on the short side of the abdomen to a low-hanging position.
The movement of the abdomen is to bend the spine or forward to bend the spine, and if they become too short and too tight, the person will be trapped in this curved position forever.
This creates all sorts of problems. Some people experience neck pain, headaches, or jaw problems because if you lean forward, you end up in a head-forward position, which puts a lot of pressure on the neck and the muscles that support it. It also restricts the movement of the diaphragm, affecting your ability to breathe normally and adequately.
An excessively curved position can also cause problems as it can take out the normal curve from the low back. This flattening of the normal lumbar curve can lead to disc injury, as a person's movement patterns are arranged in a circle around the flat back position. This puts pressure on the discs and lays the foundation for serious disc injuries.
So, the first thing you have to do is train them how to lengthen the precursors, help restore normal lower back curves, and allow the back to heal.
Q: So people aren't going to be locked in that position for a long time.
Julie Goode Mestad: Yes, it can be treated. That's what I find myself saying to people a lot. Even if you are seriously injured, you can return to normal alignment unless the bones fuse.
But you have to work hard. You have to change your exercise habits. You have to change your muscle balance. You have to persevere. In 35 years of work, I've seen a huge change in these issues. That's good news.
Q: Does our yoga practice, tight abs affect our practice?
Julie Goode Mestad: Yes, if your abs are tight, your ability to do any bending position is limited. Most notably the middle back, the thoracic spine is flexed. If a person with a bent upper back tries to do a bridge, he or she just can't lift his or her back off the floor too much.
Similarly, if a student tries to lift up in a cobra pose, he or she will not be able to climb high from the floor because the front half of the body is short and the chest is close to the pelvis of the front half of the body. So they simply can't do any or very big expansions.
Q: How do teachers find these people in the classroom?
Julie Goodmeistad: Look at how much the spine can move in a simple cat-cow pose, and you can see which people have very little spine extension. Stretching should be a normal movement of the spine, but they won't have much stretch either if they're very short in the foreground.
It can and will change over time, but there are many layers of muscles in the abdomen and chest, including between the chest and the ribs, between the ribs. If the front is all bearish, it will not change overnight. This takes time.
Q: You have a course called "Relaxing the Breath: Releasing and Retraining the Abdomen." Can you tell us about that?
Julie Goode Mestad: The focus is on balancing the abdominal muscles, but I would focus almost as much on the respiratory muscles, especially the diaphragm.
We will see how an abdomen that is too short, too tight and strong can have a negative impact on our breathing. Of course, breathing is a core part of yoga practice.
We will learn some simple ways to strengthen the abdomen because they do need to be strong.
But I'll show how to build up your exercises to help keep your abdomen strong without negatively impacting your breathing.
You will learn how to assess whether your own body has restrictions on tightening your abdomen, and for yoga teachers, how to observe in your yoga students.
We will then look at how people whose abs are already too short or too tight can get them back open and return to a more normal breathing pattern.
After watching the interview with Julie Goodmeistad, I wonder how much you know about the relationship between core and yoga?
If you don't understand these things, practice more, and then come back to the theory, practice the truth, and one day you will understand these theories.
In addition, this article also wants to tell you that excessive weight loss will bring side effects, such as face thinness and disfigurement, so reasonable weight loss, suitable for their own body is the most beautiful, do not need to cater to the public aesthetics.
