Want to lose weight and burn fat effectively, but don’t want to spend a lot of money on going to the gym? In fact, for those who want to lose weight, walking is a good choice of exercise that is easy and convenient for everyone and does not require any extra cost. Although moderate walking has many benefits to the human body, experts also remind you that if you want to make walking more effective, learning how to use the power of the "hip joint" to walk correctly is the key to success!

Aerobic exercise is good for your health! It helps you lose fat, lose weight and prevent chronic diseases.

When it comes to exercising to lose weight, most people will intuitively think of "aerobic exercise" first. However, what are the benefits of aerobic exercise to the human body and why is it highly recommended by the public? In his book "Build an Ageless Physique, Start with Muscle Endurance Training," Japanese sports medicine master coach Ryuji Tachibana explains that this is because aerobic exercise allows the human body to inhale a large amount of oxygen, allowing the body's sugar and fat to be digested along with oxygen. Therefore, it helps to reduce the formation of body fat, thereby preventing obesity and aiding weight loss.

In addition to the above benefits, moderate aerobic exercise can help reduce bad cholesterol (low-density lipoprotein, LDL) and triglycerides in the human blood, and increase good cholesterol (high-density lipoprotein, HDL). Further reduce the incidence of chronic diseases such as hypertension and diabetes.

There is a lot of knowledge hidden in your walking posture! Hip walking method is more effective in burning fat

Coach Ryuji Tachibana also mentioned that among many sports, walking, which does not require any additional equipment, is an aerobic exercise with a low threshold that is easily completed by the general public. Although moderate walking is good for your health, there is a lot of knowledge about how to walk correctly and effectively to burn fat! The key to successfully exercising the inner thigh muscles and activating the hip muscles without hurting the joints is to learn the "hip joint walking method":

Hip walking method

The "hip walking method" can make walking, an aerobic exercise, more effective. In addition to taking wider steps than usual, you should also straighten your knees as much as possible when your heels touch the ground. Just imagine your heels pressing against the ground and your knees will naturally straighten. This will allow you to use your buttocks and thigh muscles to step forward and lift your knees correctly.

Action breakdown:

1. When you step forward, your knees will bend before you step forward.

2. Relax your shoulders, straighten your chest, and straighten your back, keeping your upper body in a straight line. As you step onto the ground, lift your toes forward. Straighten the knee of the foot that is on the ground.

Tips: When viewed from the side, if the shoulder joint, hip joint, back of the kneecap, and ankle are almost in a straight line, it means the posture is correct.
