　　How to exercise waist muscles

　　1. Cross machine + squat

　　The warm-up training recommended by fitness coaches is basically the traditional model of "treadmill + stretching". This time, the coach replaced the treadmill with a cross machine. All fitness enthusiasts who are "hated" by monotonous running may wish to change their taste and get some freshness. When practicing on the cross machine, pay attention to keeping the body upright. The part of the foot that exerts force on the pedal should be the forefoot rather than the entire sole or heel to protect the ankles and knees. Feeling a slight sweat on the forehead indicates that this warm-up is in place. Just practice for 10 minutes at the current temperature.

　　When squatting, bend your knees and squat down until your thighs are parallel to the ground or slightly lower. Hold still for 1 second. Use your thighs and buttocks to push your feet off the ground and return your body to an upright position. During the entire movement, your back should be straight, your knees should not abduct or exceed your toes, your hips should not protrude backwards, and your lower back should collapse. Sit down as if there is a chair behind you. Inhale as you squat and exhale as you return. The correct breathing method should be to inhale through the nose and exhale through the mouth. Repeat 12-15 times as one set, and do 3 sets. In order to achieve the best exercise effect, the rest between groups should be controlled within 1 minute.

　　2. Rowing in seated position

　　This exercise primarily targets the upper back muscle groups. After sitting on the equipment, you must first adjust the height of the seat so that the handle in front of the body is at the same height as the shoulders, so as to ensure that the training parts are not deviated. “When rowing, keep your back straight and your shoulders relaxed and sinking naturally. Inhale when pushing your arms forward, exhale when pulling back, keep inhaling through the nose and exhaling through the mouth. Repeat 12-15 times as one set, and do 3 sets.

　　If the practitioner feels that the two shoulder blades are pulled parallel to the middle during the pull-back process, it means that the exercise posture is correct. Otherwise, the practitioner should check whether the position of his seat reaches the required height or consult the coach.

　　3. Lying down method

　　The lying method is to lie on your back with your palms flat on the floor and then bend your knees at a right angle. At the same time, exhale and bring your thighs to your chest, then lift your feet, straighten your feet slowly for 5 seconds, and keep your ankles at a right angle, and then repeat 8 to 10 times.

　　4. Angel on the wall

　　Find a flat wall, stand with your feet a certain distance apart from the wall, and your back completely pressed against the wall. The standing position of the feet should be adjusted according to the individual's height. The key is to ensure that the body can maintain this position stably. The back of your head is pressed against the wall and your chin is slightly retracted. Spread your arms against the wall, with your upper arms parallel to the ground, your forearms and upper arms forming a 90-degree angle, and make fists with both hands. When exercising, rotate the shoulder joint and elbow joint so that the forearm goes down until it is parallel to the ground, pause for about a second and slowly reset. Repeat 12-15 times as one set, and do 3 sets.

　　During the exercise, the practitioner's shoulders should be kept level and not hunched; the back of the head should be against the wall, not lowered, and the movements should be slow to achieve better exercise effects.

　　5. Standing Law

　　The standing method is to stand with your feet shoulder-width apart, slightly bend your knees and raise your right foot to the level of your hips, then straighten your back muscles, and then raise your left foot in the same steps, repeat 8 to 12 times.

　　6. Freestyle on mat

　　This exercise mainly targets the muscle groups of the lower back. Lie flat on the mat with your entire body, arms extended forward, palms facing down. While raising your right arm, lift your left leg upwards.
