10 Fat Burning Stretches You Can Do At Home

Exercise can seem daunting, especially when it comes to finding the time to do it, but there are different ways to make it easier and more fun. Many simple stretches that anyone can do at home and comfortably, even in a chair or bed, can help burn fat or speed up metabolism.

O awesome.club wants to share with you several simple stretches that can help you stay active throughout the day.

Stand with your feet apart and your knees slightly bent. Lean forward toward your hips so that your upper body rests on your legs, keeping your knees straight. Then, extend your arms, bringing your hands behind your feet. After holding the pose for four breaths, press your abs and return your back to the starting position at the same time. Repeat the exercise 3 times.

Lie on your back and extend your arms to the side. Lift your legs using your knees and lower them to one side until your thigh touches the floor. Return to the legs and repeat on the other side.

First, sit with your knees bent, your feet flat on the floor, and your hands on your hips. Keeping your back straight, lift your feet and extend your arms forward. Keep your balance on your hamstrings and stretch the front of your body. Breathe in and stretch your legs, so that your body acquires the shape of the letter “V”. Stay in this position for approximately five breaths, while extending your shoulder blades.

Despite the name, you don’t need a chair to do this exercise. Stand up, feet apart, breathe and raise your arms above your head. Lower your body as if you were going to sit in a chair and keep your back straight. Bring your palms together and bend your torso forward, rotating your body and resting your right elbow on your left thigh. Stay in this position for five breaths. Repeat on the other side.

Get on your knees and your palms resting on the floor below your hips and shoulders. Contract your abdominal muscles as you breathe and bend your back, mimicking a cat’s stretch. Return to the starting position and bend the upper part of the spine. Straighten your neck and return to the main pose. Repeat this exercise four more times.

Sit on the floor or on a mat with your legs stretched out. Place the left leg in such a way that the heel touches the buttocks. You can also keep your legs in the air, but slightly bent, or place your right leg over your left, crossing them. Now, turn your body to the right and bring your left elbow out of your knee. Place your right hand on the floor so you can see your right shoulder. Take a deep breath and hold this position for a minute. Return to the starting position and repeat on the other side.

Lie on the floor and bend your knees, keeping the soles of your feet on the floor. Breathe in and push your tailbone up as you lift your hips, creating the shape of a bridge with your body. Keep your knees above your heels, pushing them forward. Stand firm by supporting yourself on your arms. Hold the pose for about a minute.

This exercise will help you to strengthen your abdominal muscles. Lie on your stomach, as if you were a snake, and then place your forehead on the floor. Stretch your legs, keeping your palms on the floor. Inhale slowly and lift your pecs. Then try leaning back. Stay in this position for about 30 seconds and, exhaling, return to the starting position. Repeat this exercise 5 times.

Get into the typical push-up position. Lift your hips and press your heels into the floor so that your posture is similar to that of the prone dog. Bring your right leg back and up, with your right toes pointing down. Hold the position as if you are pushing your foot against the wall. Open your hips and bend your knee. Breathe and stretch your leg. Reposition your hips parallel to the floor. Lower your foot to the floor. Repeat with the left side.

When it comes to losing weight, it’s important to understand how the body works. When you exercise, you not only get energy from fats, but also from carbohydrates and proteins. Where this energy comes from will depend on the exercise you do. During high-intensity exercise, energy is typically obtained from carbohydrates, while in long, slow exercise, energy is obtained from fat. In other words, a slow pace will not only make you more comfortable, it will help you lose weight.
