Bodyflex is a set of exercises accompanied by special aerobic breathing. It is this breathing that saturates the human body with oxygen, contributing to enhanced burning of the fat layer. Unlike standard physical exercises, bodyflex does not use strength techniques, but isotonic, isometric and stretching postures that strain and stretch muscles. Due to a special breathing technique, the internal organs are massaged and the digestion process is stimulated.
The author of this bodyflex technique is the American Greer Childers. After trying many methods to lose weight after having children, Greer decided to go the other way. After reading a lot of information about the interaction of oxygen and fat, Greer Childers developed her own method of losing weight. The advantage of the technique is the short time spent by a person, and a small physical load compared to the gym. Just 15-20 minutes a day can increase the tone of the body, improve mood and relieve fatigue, not to mention the direct effect of burning fat.
Bodyflex has practically no contraindications and has undoubted advantages. For example, breastfeeding mothers cannot diet and lift weights, they do not have much free time. In this case, bodyflex is indispensable. In addition, the bodyflex complex has no age restrictions and is able to help older people. For some, physical activity is contraindicated for health reasons, but they are not needed in body flex. Girls pay special attention to the abdomen and waist, and bodyflex fully supports them. The program is highly effective, and the results are visible after the first week of classes.
We cannot say that the principles on which the bodyflex technique was developed are completely original. In this case, the goal was not to reinvent the wheel a second time, but to correctly use the one already created. All physical exercise causes oxygen-rich blood to be carried throughout the body and burn excess fat. However, in the gym, the efficiency (coefficient of performance) of this process is quite low. Special breathing techniques cope with this task much better, and the effect is greater.
In addition, the gym is fraught with another pitfall. Responding to increased physical activity, muscle growth. However, in most cases, this process begins under a layer of adipose tissue, which is relatively slowly transformed. The result will be greater physical strength, but also greater mass, since bodybuilding requires special high-calorie nutrition, and besides, muscles weigh more than body fat.
If you deal with diets, then you can’t practice loads with them. The fact is that your body simply will not have the opportunity to allocate energy for this, receiving a meager diet during the diet. This technique, of course, promotes weight loss, but what do we get in the end? The result is sagging skin, folds and other unpleasant things, because no one took care of the elasticity of the skin, which at one time stretched the fat. Bodyflex relieves this problem, as breathing promotes massage and tightening of the skin.
In fact, a person forcibly, using bodyflex, makes his blood enriched with oxygen. Some of this oxygen goes to keep our cells functioning, but most of the oxygen still remains. And our body is a universal machine for processing everything that enters it. The body tries to use everything that has got into it for its own good. That is why excess oxygen is directed to the good, i.e. to get rid of excess fat.
Some skeptics may think that the mere human being is incapable of developing an effective technique. There is logic in this, but the correctness of the concept of Greer Childers is also supported by traditional medicine specialists. So, for example, Alec Borsenko, a colon specialist and part-time writer, believes that oxygen works like an efficient janitor. As a result of interaction with oxygen, most viruses, bacteria and parasites die, cancer cells are destroyed and leave a person with hope for life. Bodyflex just makes sense to pour as much oxygen into our body as possible. For comparison, let’s say that a regular run burns 700 kilocalories per hour, enhanced aerobics burns 500, and 15 minutes of body flex burns 850 kilocalories.
Norman McVee, MD, believes that oxygen plays an important role in metabolism. Thanks to it, the absorption of substances is much more efficient, the process of digestion, the excretion of waste products from the body. Excess oxygen helps to purify the blood, undergo a general recovery. Oxygen is a necessary component in the restoration of the body’s immune system. Thanks to him, our nervous system can calm down or get excited depending on the situation.
An additional advantage of Bodyflex is an increase in lymph flow, which increases muscle tone, speeds up metabolism and prevents cellulite from developing.
At the beginning of the article, we said that there are practically no contraindications, but there are factors that can slow down the fat burning process. These include:
– slow metabolism, characteristic of some individuals;
– certain categories of drugs (eg birth control pills, antidepressants, thyroid medications).
In these cases, the effect is also observed, but it is not so obvious and the first signs of weight loss appear much later (after 1-2 months).
In general, the bodyflex technique is simple and effective, which attracted the attention of numerous fans and followers.
