Do you have to sweat profusely to lose weight? Doctor Song Yanren: Niya dance can help you lose weight easily

There is no shortcut to losing weight, but you can't rely solely on exercise, because exercise alone cannot help you lose weight. If it is not combined with a proper diet, the weight loss effect will definitely not be good. For people who have no exercise foundation, or who are afraid of sports injuries, or who have not exercised for a long time and want to lose weight, family medicine doctor Song Yanren specially recommends the "Niya Exercise", a low-impact weight loss exercise that is easy to learn and can be performed at any time. By dancing naturally, you can effectively prevent weight gain.

Diet + exercise is effective in reducing weight

Many obesity medical studies in the past have confirmed that losing weight through exercise alone is a very laborious and ineffective method. For example, a study tracked participants' weight loss for a year and found that combining "diet and exercise" could reduce body weight by 10.8%; if only dietary adjustments were made, the weight loss was about 8.5%; and exercise alone could only reduce body weight by 2.5%.

Family medicine physician Song Yanren has achieved excellent results by practicing the "211 Full Balance Slimming Method". He said that exercise does not have to be very standardized, or require skills or sweat to be effective in losing weight. Research has shown that these are not only unnecessary, but also wrong. If you want to sculpt your body and build muscles like a bodybuilder, you do need some special training methods, but if you just want to lose weight, you don't need such a hard and strict exercise method.

Non-impact Niya dance can help you lose weight without any risk of sports injuries

Dr. Song Yanren said in his new book "211 Fully Balanced Weight Loss Method for Lifelong Slimming" that the easiest weight loss exercise to learn and perform at any time is "Nia (Niya Dance)", which is to listen to music and dance to the body. This is a form of exercise that is gradually being recognized in the United States. Its original meaning is "Non-impact Aerobics", which means that all movements are low-impact or even non-impact. It is very suitable for everyone, especially those who have no sports foundation or are afraid of sports injuries, such as those who have not exercised for a long time and want to lose weight.

Nia (Niya Dance) is a new form of exercise that combines dance, martial arts and the so-called "mindfulness", allowing the body to dance freely and comfortably as the mind flows. Moreover, since the mid-1980s, many hospitals have also adopted exercise as a form of physical and mental rehabilitation, which is particularly effective for patients with chronic diseases such as Parkinson's disease.

This exercise uses some structured, soft and smooth movements to sequentially move a total of 13 joints from head to toe, including the entire spine, left and right shoulder joints, elbows and wrists, left and right hip joints, and knees and ankles of both feet. Through music, you can activate the cells in your heart that want to dance, and then express them with casual body movements. You can follow the flow of your thoughts and dance freely and informally with your body. Just like a child naturally sways his body to the music, let the movement of his body directly reflect the emotions in his heart.
