A Towel, a String, and 2 Minutes is All You Need for This Quick Weight-loss Technique!

Owing to our busy schedules and lifestyles, many of us mothers just DO NOT get the time to hit the gym or stick to a particular diet regime. This makes weight loss a big and almost impossible problem for us. However, what if we told you that you could lose weight simply by lying down? Yes, it’s quite literally just that!

Many mothers struggle with postpartum weight loss for several years. However, only a fraction of us are able to crack the formula for it. Either making time is the problem, or it is the dread of exercise, or the high financial involvement. And sometime or the other, we have tried every diet and exercise under the sun. To little effect.

Dr. Toshiki Fukutsudzi, a physician from Japan, understands this plight and has come to the rescue. He has found a method of easy weight loss that is now all the rage in Asia. Doing this exercise 3 times a day not only helps eliminate the stubborn fat near the waist but also improves the overall human body posture. Fukutsudzi believes that people who have a problem with the alignment of the pelvic bone and sub coastal bone tend to accumulate fat specifically in the waist and abdominal region. This problem too can be solved through this exercise. Imagine, a weight loss exercise in the comfort of your own house with no equipment except a towel – isn’t it like a dream come true?

The Results?

The core idea behind inventing this exercise is that it can help correct the posture by correcting the alignment of the spine and the pelvis. This prevents fat from collecting in the abdominal or the hip region. It is recommended that you practice this exercise routine at least 3 times in a day to see results.

With regular practice of the form, many women have noticed their waist size going down in a matter of just 2 weeks! A month of dedicated practice will surely help you in moving forward in your weight loss journey and also reap benefits of a better, healthier posture.

A Few Things To Remember

While practising this exercise, you may experience some discomfort initially. This perhaps is due to the bone alignment coming back to natural position where the body functions at its best. This will get better with time. However, if this persistently happens, take it slow and allow your body to get adjusted to the movements. Also, from 2 minutes at first, gradually increase the overall exercise time to 5 minutes. This will help your tissues and configuration to change slowly.

Please note that if you suffer from even a minor back problem or any bone related ailments, it is recommended you consult your doctor before undertaking this exercise.

All that this exercise takes up is some space in your house, a towel, and 2 minutes. So, the next time when your kids are off to school or it’s your little one’s nap time, grab that towel and hit the floor, quite literally!
