Obviously, the answer that immediately comes to mind is no. However, Japanese personal trainer Kenichi Sakuma argues that it is possible .
Endorsed by a long list of success stories starring international beauty archeologists from Japan, the United States, France or England , the owner of the CharmBody gymnasium chain (based in several Japanese cities, Los Angeles, Singapore and Shanghai ), ensures that " four minutes a day of exercise are enough to lose weight and tone without bouncing the parts of our anatomy that we like less if you do the right exercises."
The physical trainer, who went through Madrid to present his book 'The Sakuma Method. Full Body '(Kitsune Books), states that "the key lies in strengthening the muscles in a balanced way to increase the energy consumed by our body (that is, the burning of calories), even at rest, without the need for extra effort ".
In static, without impact for the joints, the Sakuma method "suitable for all ages and sexes", proposes very simple movements to strengthen, mainly, the abdominal and torso muscles. "The more muscle mass we have, the better our basal metabolism will work ."
BODY ALIGNMENT
One of his great obsessions is, as he explains, " get a correct body alignment ." Weakening by years of sedentary lifestyle and bad postures, "the muscles that help us maintain an upright position are distended, the back begins to slouch. Both elbows and knees flex. In addition to limiting the range of motion (and the appearance of pains and overloads), all this favors the accumulation of fat in certain areas, "he says.
Your antidote for this disaster? "Strengthen the muscle groups that make up what I call 'the torso of a model' and that include the abdomen, back and those around the shoulder blades (abdominal transverse and trapezius); the respiratory (sternocleidomastoid, scalene, external intercostal and diaphragm); and also those of the hips and thighs (gluteus maximus, middle and adductors) ".
The first step to reach that bodily paradise that Sakura promises is "learn to stretch the muscles, then we must activate them and, finally, we would have to perform 'muscle memory' exercises so that we do not accumulate adipose tissue again."
So far his theory successfully tested countless times, according to its author. It will be necessary to prove it although, as we always recommend in ZEN, before starting a training routine it is essential to have the supervision of a qualified professional who designs a “tailored suit” for our age, physical condition and objectives .
