Walking with a tap to train your abs

 

Walking with a twist is one way to combat weak abs. Plus, it can help you walk with confidence. It can help you to be fully present in your body as you walk (because you are focusing on the act of walking) and will help your heart pump blood. It will also massage your organs at the same time. It can also be used to strengthen your legs and give your walk more power. It can also help you deal with lower back pain, the kind that feels like your lower back is being pushed forward from inside your body and makes you feel like it's compressing.

Torsion happens in the lower rib cage

The key to walking with a turn is to understand that when the spine turns, most of the turn occurs in the lower half of the rib cage. It does not happen in the lower back.

If you sit in a chair or on the floor and then roll to one side, the lower part of your rib cage and rib cage will rotate relative to your pelvis. The thoracic vertebrae (these are the vertebrae to which the ribs are attached) are designed to rotate Q Twist. And their ribs are levers you can use to help them twist.

The lumbar spine connects the rib cage to the pelvis. This part of your spine is designed not to twist. The vertebrae here can rotate front to back and side to side, however, because they don't rotate with each other, they transmit the force of your abs to your rib cage ribs so you can use your abs to rotate your ribs . in relation to his pelvis ... or his pelvis in relation to his ribs.

The muscles that twist the spine

His abs, particularly his obliques, are what he uses to rotate his rib cage relative to his pelvis. The obliques tilt forward and upward from the pelvis to the rib cage and also tilt forward and downward. Due to the way they are angled, they can be used to rotate the ribs relative to the pelvis.

Another set of angled muscles is located between each set of ribs. These are called intercostals and can be used to rotate the ribs together.

If you twist while holding your pelvis still (for example, while sitting on the floor), the lower ribs will rotate relative to the pelvis thanks to the action of the obliques. Meanwhile, its upper ribs will rotate relative to its lower ribs due to its intercostals.

Your rib cage is a flexible structure (or it should be!)

If you are used to thinking of your rib cage as a rigid and inflexible structure, it is time to change that way of thinking. His rib cage is actually quite mobile. And moving it helps mobilize the thoracic spine. Also, making your rib cage more flexible or keeping it flexible can help you breathe, since intercostals (and abdominals) can be used in the breathing process if you learn to breathe inside your rib cage.

Massaging your organs and helping your heart

If you've ever twisted a damp cloth, you know that when you twist it, you take the water out. By turning the rib cage relative to the pelvis, you can do something similar, you can tighten the internal organs. If you turn and then release and then turn again (to the opposite side), you can squeeze and then release your internal organs, massage them, or more appropriately help pump liquids into them.

This pumping action not only occurs within the organs of your abdomen, but also affects the main blood vessels that go down (and go up) through the abdominal cavity. By twisting and releasing, you help squeeze blood through these organs, helping your heart pump blood.

Twisting the lower rib cage

Before you start walking with a turn, you should explain a little more about the rib cage and its ability to turn. Most of the twist occurs in the lower half of the rib cage. This is the part of the rib cage with the arch in front. The upper rib cage twists slightly, but the ability is hindered by the attachment of the ribs to the sternum. So what really happens when it rotates is that the upper rib cage rotates relative to the pelvis. However, if you are walking and keeping the upper rib cage facing your direction of travel, the lower rib cage may twist as you walk.

It is very similar to the action used in Latin dances such as rumba and cha cha cha, but instead of dancing, you are walking and in the process you make your walk look elegant. And it feels good at the same time.
