Post-meal exercise is crucial for weight loss. If the sun is too strong and you're worried about stomach upset, and too little activity isn't effective, then try massage exercises. Here's a four-step abdominal exercise routine; do each move about 36 times each time to activate your body, promote digestion, and aid in weight loss.
First Movement: Lower abdomen and Shenque acupoint
Method: Relax your fingers and gently pat the fattest part of your lower abdomen. Pat gently, like patting the back of a well-fed baby. Then, tuck your thumb into your palm and make a fist with the other four fingers (this is called a loose fist). Gently pat the fattest part of your lower abdomen with this loose fist. This method is more effective and penetrates deeper, but the air vibration in the fist prevents injury.
Second movement: Gently massage the abdomen in circular motions with the palms.
Method: Extend both arms straight out, overlap them on your navel with your thumbs touching and palms facing your navel. Men should place their left hand on the bottom and women their right hand on the bottom. After inhaling slightly, contract your lower abdomen and massage in a clockwise direction 36 times. This can help with intestinal peristalsis. You will feel a slight warmth in your palms and abdomen while rubbing.
