For a long time, experts were looking for an answer to the question of which part of the body in a woman is the most attractive. Years of research and experiments have shown an amazing result: it's not centimeters, not chests or legs, that are important, but the silhouette of a woman - that is, the ratio between her hips and waist. The more pronounced the waist, the more attractive the woman in the eyes of men. However, and without any research, women intuitively felt this, not for nothing in the 19th century tightened corsets, and in the 20-m - massively bought hoops and sports disks for weight loss. By the way, the last of the listed ones were forgotten unfairly, because the use of such a sports projectile has an effective effect on the waist.
Does the disc help you lose weight?
At the end of the last century, the disc for weight loss was practically in every house - then it was called "Grace" or "Disk of Health". Of course, this simulator is very simple and hardly suitable for professional athletes, but for simple lay people and young mothers this option is just perfect.
Losing weight with the help of a disk can very well be quick and effective if you do it regularly, without skipping classes and not giving yourself indulgences. Like any cardio-load, classes with a disc give a complex result, and you will lose weight not only in the abdomen, but also in the other problem areas. This effect is achieved through a large expenditure of calories and improved metabolism as well.
To save time, it is best to combine lessons on the disk or with power training, or with proper nutrition. Of course, you get the fastest effect by combining all three components.
Floor disk for weight loss: contraindications
Like any sports equipment, this simple simulator has its own small contra-indications. It is not recommended to use a rotating disc for weight loss in such cases:
- if you have recent injuries of any leg joints;
- if you have severe problems with the vestibular apparatus of any origin (both from taking medication, and any others);
- if you are pregnant, or have given birth less than six weeks ago;
- you are professionally engaged in fitness, and your pulse does not rise above 110-120 beats per minute even after 5-10 minutes of training.
In all other cases, the use of this simulator is completely justified and safe.
How to use the disc for weight loss?
Before using a floor slimming disc for exercises, learn - stand on it with two legs, slightly bending your knees and strongly pulling your stomach, try to twist. If you are uncomfortable, point the toe socks to the sides and try again. The back should be smooth, without deflection. It is important not to transfer weight from foot to foot, as this creates unnecessary pressure on the hip joints.
If you manage to rotate, consider that the main exercise disc for weight loss you have already mastered! There are several training options:
- "Direct training." In this case, you must do everything the same as in our "rehearsal" and slowly twist to warm up for 3-5 minutes. Then start working at a fast pace for 20-30 minutes. Do not forget to change the direction of movement so that your head does not feel dizzy. Remember this
An intensive exercise, and if you do not even sweat, there will not be a result. After an intense phase, go back to slow movements and after such a two-minute "hitch", you can go to the floor and regain your breath. - "Interval training". Warm-up and hitch remains the same as in the previous plan, but the main part undergoes changes. Alternate 2 minutes of very fast spins and 3 minutes of moderate in the first 10 minutes. In the second 10 minutes alternate fast revolutions (2 minutes each) and jump on the floor (3 minutes each).
As a supplement at the end of any workout, you can twist the hoop for 10 minutes to fix the result.
