Twisting your waist will work! Do this while taking a bath to easily tighten your waistline and eliminate edema

Mariko's own bathing method

Twisting motion

As described on page 81, I take three baths during my bath time. And the third time, I will definitely do waist twisting exercises. First, hold the edge of the tub with both hands, resting your elbows. Then use your arms to lift your lower body and buttocks off the bottom of the bathtub, leaning your knees to the left and right while twisting your waist. The key is to keep your knees together and twist your waist vigorously. Repeat this action 20 to 30 times.

If keeping your hips in the air starts to feel a little difficult, you can also place your toes against the bottom of the bathtub. The body warmed up by taking a bath will increase flexibility and expand the range of motion, which has the advantage of being able to perform more efficiently. In addition to tightening the waistline, it can also effectively tighten the arms and inner thighs. Even for those who are not confident in their muscle strength, it will be easier for their hips to float with the help of buoyancy.

It has become my habit to massage my feet while washing my body. I will massage my legs from bottom to top while applying soap bubbles. It is smoother when in a foaming state, so you can massage more smoothly than in a bathtub. The calf muscles, which are prone to stiffness, can be turned into soft and high-quality muscles if you massage them carefully. Doing so can also effectively eliminate and prevent edema.
