Recently, on Channel A 'Therapy House-Arawon' (hereinafter 'Arawon', Shin Ae-ra, Hong Hyun-hee, Miracle, and Lee Hyun-yi were broadcasting at the same time as diet and exercise for health.
In particular, the first object among exercise therapy attracted attention with 'hip'. It is an exercise method to overcome the so-called 'hip amnesia'.
The hip is one of our body's largest muscles, and being able to stand upright is also possible thanks to the hip muscles that connect the waist to the legs. It supports weight and plays a role in increasing the stability of the pelvis and spine.
Hip amnesia is a symptom of modern people who sit for a long time, with their hip muscles losing their way of use. It refers to a phenomenon in which the hip muscles become weak, sagging and soft, and the lack of hip muscle strength puts pressure on the back, causing pelvic imbalance, low back pain, and lumbar disc.
In the first episode of Arawon, exercise creator Oh Dong-gyu taught hip muscle self-diagnosis and introduced exercise methods to overcome.
First of all, the hip muscle self-diagnosis method is to stand upright and apply strength to the hip and check whether the finger enters when the upper hip is pressed with the index finger. If it doesn't go in well, it is judged that the hip strength is good.
Hip hinge, side kick, sides? and gym ball bridge were introduced as exercises to complete hip-ups in six minutes.
Stretching is as important as muscle strengthening, and it is necessary to stretch hamstrings and hip muscles through foam rollers and yoga backs.
Sitting posture is also important. Since sitting bent is a burden not only on the back but also on the hip muscles, it is better to stick your hips as straight as possible toward the backrest. It is also recommended to change your posture from time to time.
