man! Your running posture determines the size of your thing

Many middle-aged and elderly people choose running to exercise their bodies. They become stronger, but their bellies become protruding. At this time, people usually think that it is a sign of obesity. In fact, improper long-distance running posture can also cause a protruding belly.

Some people's shoulders sink when long-distance running, their arms are bent slightly and hang down too much and too loose, they cannot lift their legs, their steps are small, there is no airiness, no elasticity, their breathing rhythm is uneven, and their stomach bounces up and down with every step.

Over time, the control of the abdominal muscles is affected, causing the belly to sag and bulge out.

The correct running movement should be: lift your shoulders slightly, bend your arms to 90 degrees, swing them back and forth slightly but bounce up and down slightly, raise your shoulders slightly, lift your thighs forward higher while running, push back fully, and have a large and elastic stride. This can tense the abdominal muscles, lift the inner belly, and make breathing even, long, full and rhythmic. While running, the abdominal muscles should be appropriately tensed, and attention should be paid to breathing in. This in itself is a training for the function of the respiratory organs, as well as an exercise for the abdominal muscles, which can enhance the control of the abdominal muscles and is also an effective way to keep fit.
