Liu Yifei's Defined Waistline Isn't Sustainable; Suggestion to Change Exercise Methods
Liu Yifei has a solid dance foundation, why does she gain weight when she stops exercising? I've also noticed this phenomenon, many people with muscle tend to gain weight immediately after stopping exercise, and the flesh becomes loose and slack. This creates a vicious cycle: three months of training, stop, gain weight for three months, and with a groan, engage in high-intensity training again, but each time it takes more effort than the last to restore muscle status, requiring more dietary restrictions. Especially those who consume protein powder, the muscle shape becomes even more difficult to maintain, muscle loss, and the figure looks particularly unattractive.
Is there a way to overcome this situation? The Yellow Emperor's Classic says 'muscle if one', which refers to a state where muscle and fat are combined. Muscle and fat are not strictly separated; such flesh will make the limbs plump, and will not slacken even if not frequently exercised. The diet will not be affected too much.
How to cultivate this 'muscle if one' physique? Do you know the meat quality of 'chicken running' and 'pig running'? Both have a high proportion of intramuscular fat. Pig farming is the pinnacle of raising Wagyu beef with intramuscular fat. However, pigs have cultivated beef quality. How to cultivate it? Firstly, eat organic food, get sufficient rest, and combine with aerobic exercise. The key is to avoid heavy anaerobic exercise. This is an inspirational breakthrough for people's training. First, eat organic food, combine with aerobic exercise, and also there is a method, which is to practice internal martial arts. Many people who practice Tai Chi and Bagua Palm exhibit this body state: four limbs mixed and condensed, without visible muscle lines, with full breath and a youthful appearance compared to their peers.
So, can everyday practice of Tai Chi or turning the palm achieve this muscle state? That's what you wish. This meat quality is partly due to self-training, and partly due to external help, mainly referring to pushing hands, not for victory or defeat. Push hands to massage the force inwards, relax the large muscles, trigger the small muscles, mobilize the muscles and breath throughout the body, and ultimately achieve this type of flesh.
However, there is one situation that often accompanies the mixed muscle and full breath that is achieved through this method, which is that the abdomen becomes fuller, i.e., the lower abdomen becomes plump. Some women may dislike this figure.
