5-Minute 'Wall Push' Exercise Promotes Whole-Body Circulation! Excellent Fitness Effect
Dr. Minoru Kawamura, a surgical rehabilitation physician with 30 years of clinical experience in Japan, has found that many people suffer from various diseases due to the lack of truly effective exercise.
Running and cycling, common exercises, are not suitable for everyone.
Therefore, he invented a simple and unique gymnastics system – ‘Kawamura Style Anti-Aging Yoga’.
Push-wall method is one of its actions.
It doesn’t require strenuous exercise and is suitable for men and women of all ages. As long as there’s a wall, anyone can easily do it at home or in the park!
The 3 Efficacy of ‘Push-Wall Exercise’
1

The push-wall action has stretching effects on tendons, the inner nest of the knee, and the inner thigh muscles, which can improve knee health. Because of the force exerted on the hip and leg muscles during push-wall, these areas can also be exercised, which is beneficial for strengthening the waist’s support for the upper body.
2

Enhance immunity
By persisting in exercise, the blood circulation in the intestines increases, making the intestines energetic and improving immunity and metabolism, which can stimulate bowel movements and relieve constipation.
