Lower body obesity is the pain of many female friends, especially the mass of meat protruding from the lower edge of the buttocks. It seems that the proportion of the lower body is shorter. Some people call it "false wide", others call it "saddle meat" and hang on the thigh. On both sides, it is the "hard to thin" part.
Recently, a hot-selling product on the Internet "divided toe", with the slogan "The leg is not fat, but you are "walking"!" declares that as long as it is put on, let the five toes separate, the balance of the sole It can correct the wrong walking posture and improve the pelvic tilt. Even the "fake wide" and "O-leg" can be improved together.
For a time, this product has become a new hope for lazy people to lose weight, but, does it have such a magical effect?
Obesity + genetic physique Fat is easy to accumulate the lower edge of the hip
"Speaking, saddle meat is still fat, fat accumulation." Free fitness coach Li Weizhi explained that the normal hip position is on both sides of the pelvis, but the saddle meat will move the widest position of the whole body down to the lower edge of the buttocks and thighs. The roots make the hips look wider and the legs look shorter.
Cathay General Hospital physiotherapist Jian Wenren also stressed that saddle meat comes from long-term accumulation of fat, sedentary and gravity will make it increasingly drooping. What affects standing, sitting or walking posture is the large trochanter of the femoral head, which is the position of the pelvic hip joint and the gluteus medius.
Jian Wenren said that poor posture is common in patients with hemiplegia or a patient who has been injured. It may also be caused by habitual posture problems. For example, standing three or seven steps, awkward legs, walking inside, etc. may cause muscles to not Symmetrical, the pelvis is particularly convex on one side.
Diet control with exercise
First slimming and fat reduction, in addition to eliminating the saddle meat, if combined with this training, it will help improve the fat pattern, make the leg line more symmetrical, and also increase the leg muscle strength and improve joint stability.
Jian Wenren also introduced three postures for adjusting the pelvis and emphasized that the pelvis is asymmetrically expanded due to incorrect gait and poor posture. The tension of the toe sleeve is not enough to affect the muscles. The active muscle contraction must be used to correct the steps. The state, for example, through pelvic training, makes the joints and muscles more symmetrical and flexible, and also helps to reduce fat accumulation.
Split toe cover helps to walk steady, foot ventilation
Comprehensive expert opinion, if you want to rely on the toe sleeve to slim down, modify the leg type, or even say goodbye to the saddle meat, I am afraid I will be disappointed.
But the split toe is also good. Jian Wenren said that the toe sleeve separates each toe head, the foundation is stable, the stability when walking and standing is naturally high, and the finger joints are relatively breathable and ventilated, which can reduce the chance of mold infection. However, the premise is to match the wide toe shoes, so that they will not wear the split toe sleeve and still squeeze into the shoes.
Li Weizhi also believes that the split toe sleeve helps the average strength of the soles of the feet to restore the body to a normal balance. But he shared his experience of crossing the toe sleeve, but it was not comfortable to wear, and sometimes even to find a comfortable position, the whole body posture was even worse. If you want to try it, he suggests increasing the time step by step. If you still don't get used to it, you don't have to wear it hard to avoid more bad results.
