10 Stretches You Can Do at Home to Burn Fat

What workouts do not come to mind for the purpose of losing weight, but not stretching. And it’s in vain. This is, albeit a “passive”, but still an effective way in the fight against excess weight, especially at home without the presence of special equipment for fitness. Another stretch for weight loss is shown if there are contraindications to shock and power loads. Let’s consider the effect of stretching on weight loss in more detail.

Wide leg bend

1. Place your feet wide, parallel to each other.
3. Tilt your torso forward, place your palms further from your legs so that a slight deflection forms in your back, like a “slide”.
4. Do not bend your knees; under the weight of your torso, strive with your chest to the floor.
5. When finished, return to the starting position.

Semi split + front thigh stretch

1. Lunge forward with the front knee at a right angle, and hold the back knee overhang.
2. Maintain the pose without swaying, feeling the extension of the hips.
4. Then lower the knee of your back leg to the floor and grab the foot with the opposite hand.
5. Pull your heel towards your buttocks, increasing the traction on the front of the thigh.
6. Lower your leg after a few seconds, then step forward from the lunge.
7. Change your leg and perform on the opposite side.

Abduction of the leg (balance on one leg)

1. Stand straight and lift your knee up while maintaining balance.
2. With the same hand, grasp the thigh from the inside, closer to the knee.
4. Move your hip to the side, keeping the pelvis in one place.
5. Hold the position, trying to open the hip joint more and more.
6. Change to the other side.

Lunge

1. From a standing position, tilt your torso down, bending your knees, and touch the floor with your palms.
2. Lunge with one leg back without touching the floor with your knee.
4. Lock your legs and lift your torso by bringing your arms together over your head.
5. Stand still for as long as possible.
6. Change position to the other leg.

Stretching the legs, back and ankle

1. Place your feet across the width of the pelvis, tilt down from a standing position, touching the floor with your palms.
2. With your palms, walk slightly forward, moving away from the feet, forming a deflection in the thoracic region.
4. You can stay with your feet on the floor if your heels are touching the floor.
5. If the stretch allows, start turning your feet upward.
6. Hold the pose as long as you can, then gently stand on your feet and return to the starting position.

Tilt turns

1. Place your feet wide, parallel to each other.
2. Lean forward and place one palm clearly in the center between your feet.
3. Turn the torso to the side so that the palm is under the shoulder joint.
5. Raise your other palm up so that both hands form one vertical line. 
6. Look up at the palm.
7. Do not move or twist the pelvis; rotation is carried out at the expense of the thoracic region.
8. Do the same on the other side.

Reverse plank

1. Sit on your buttocks, straighten your legs in front of you, placing your feet across the width of the pelvis.
2. Place your palms on the floor under your shoulder joints.
