Reduce Stress and Belly Fat with Progressive Muscle Relaxation

Annyeong guys! today we are talking about how to reduce fats and.. stress! How you may ask? its easy. Progressive muscle relaxation, a stress-relieving technique, sounds complicated, but it’s actually very simple. It involves focusing on each muscle group and slowly tensing and relaxing each muscle to help you calm and decompress. This technique forces you to focus on the difference between the tense muscle and the relaxed muscle, helping you become more aware of physical sensations and thus able to relax and release tension.




Here’s how you do it:


1. Tense the muscles in your toes, hold the tension for 5 to 10 seconds, and then relax the muscles for 30 seconds.

2. Move on to your legs, following the tension and relaxation directions in Step 1 for your calves, quadriceps, and even glutes. Slowly work your way up your body.


Practice tensing and relaxing your muscles all the way to your shoulders, neck, and even your face until you reach the top of your head.
