Why Your Waist Doesn't Get Thinner When You Lose Weight

-

The lower abdomen does not dent.

The shape does not change.

There is a high possibility that your breathing is shallow!

(Not applicable to people with high body fat percentage 💦)

Even though the weight is falling firmly

If the silhouette of the abdomen does not change

Let's turn our attention to breathing!!

... Read more「体重は減るのにお腹が出る」状態って、見た目の変化が少なくてモヤモヤしますよね。私が現場でよく見るのは、脂肪が原因というより“姿勢と呼吸のクセ”で下腹部が前に押し出されているパターンです。特に、体脂肪がそこまで多くないのに下腹だけ変わらない人は要チェックです。 まず簡単なセルフチェック。 1) 仰向けに寝て、膝を立てる(できれば椅子やベッドに下腿を乗せて、股関節90°・膝90°に近づける) 2) 腰〜背中が床に自然に密着しやすいか確認 3) この姿勢だと下腹部がわりと平らになるなら、立った時に出て見えるお腹は「脂肪」よりも、肋骨や骨盤の位置・呼吸で前に逃げている可能性があります。 原因として多いのが、浅い呼吸が続いて横隔膜の柔軟性が落ちる→肋骨が“バッカーン”と開く(リブフレア)→内臓を支える圧が作れず、下腹が前に出やすい流れ。ここで重要なのは、吸うよりも“吐く”を丁寧にすることです。 私がやって効果を感じやすかった呼吸エクササイズ(毎日2〜3分でもOK) - 仰向けで寝て、胸とお腹に手を置く - 鼻からゆっくり吸う(この時、お腹を前に膨らませすぎない) - 口から細く長く吐く:吐くほどに肋骨が閉じて、お腹が「薄く凹む」感覚を作る - 吐き切ったら2〜3秒だけ止める(腹横筋・横隔膜を使う意識) - 5〜8呼吸を目安に ポイントは「長く吐く」「吐いた時にお腹がボコっと前に出ないように、薄く凹ませ続ける」こと。 さらに日常で気をつけると変化が早いのは、立っている時に“胸を張りすぎない”こと。胸を張る=肋骨が開く癖が強い人は、下腹が前に逃げやすいです。鏡で横から見て、肋骨の下(みぞおち周り)が前に突き出ていないか確認してみてください。 もちろん、体脂肪が高い場合は食事・活動量の見直しも必要ですが、「体重は減ってるのにお腹だけ…」の人ほど、呼吸(横隔膜)と肋骨の位置を整えるだけでシルエットが変わることがあります。まずは“しっかり吐く”から試してみてください。
