The 5-minute Japanese towel exercise: Does it burn belly fat & give you flat abs?

The Japanese have always been sincere, devoted, and creative in their approach to well-being and well-being in life. They work hard and have aligned their spirituality through the physical. In fact, they’ve used accessories in and around their homes to devise fitness routines in such a way that spending extra time working out doesn’t seem like another thing to cross off their to-do list.

As part of this effort, they have made smart use of their towels. The Japanese towel is made of natural cotton, so it creates a connection with the elements, assuming that the cotton has absorbed all the elements such as sunlight, water and minerals, and in terms of body contact, it transmits them to us.

Because the towels are long, we can use them to stretch and strengthen our biceps. We can push them down, use them against a hook, and work our triceps. In addition, we can use them to expand the chest, stretch and open the shoulders. Weights can be added and we can do strength training exercises such as squats and lunges as well. We can do many exercises with towels, but the one that consists of lying on rolled towels, balancing the body on them along the spine, and stretching the legs and hands at the furthest point from each other, certainly does not reduce abdominal fat. as claimed. However, the Japanese towel exercise can be helpful in improving posture, reducing back pain, and aligning the movement of the pelvic joint to a certain extent. And if we focus and concentrate on one point while doing this exercise, we are actually meditating.

What is the Japanese Rook Roll?

The Japanese towel technique was developed by Japanese reflexology and massage specialist Dr. Toshiki Fukutsudzi over a decade ago to get the body into shape. He claimed that this method could help get rid of abdominal fat, correct posture, strengthen the back, and reduce back pain. He suggested doing this three times a day for five minutes each. So what does this imply? Just place towels as cylindrical rolls on the floor, tie them up so they don’t shift. Lie on your back with your feet apart, then let your toes come together, making sure to place the towel under the wooden column. Then stretch your hands over your head and extend them high above your head. All you do is stand there for five minutes.

Belly fat, not so much. Just a good exercise for the back.

What this exercise really does is that it balances the spine and helps you correct your posture. So, by placing a towel behind your back, the method is said to help correct posture by aligning the spine and pelvis, pulling in the navel region, and preventing fat from accumulating in the abdominal area. This last bit is a far stretch. Because abdominal fat is the most stubborn and needs intense exercise to burn off. Just lying down three times a day would definitely work your pelvic region, keep it flexible, but you would have to really work it.

A yoga pose that can have a longer lasting impact

Sahaj Matsyasana is a yoga posture similar to that advocated by the Japanese. The following is the procedure to do the same:
1) Lie on your back, with your hands by your sides and your feet together.
2) Bend your elbows, inhale, and lift your chest and head up.
3) Keep your chest up, touch the top of your head lightly to the floor, and keep your weight on your forearms and elbows. Press your lower body into the ground.
4) Hold the pose for 10 seconds and slowly return.

This pose is good for people with respiratory problems and thyroid problems. It is good for the reproductive system of women. Strengthens the spine and helps shred abdominal fat.

Losing weight is only possible when you create a calorie deficit in the body. You have to burn more calories than you take in without depriving your body of its optimal nutrients. And that surely can’t be done by lying on the floor.
