How to solve Pot Belly

​Pot belly is caused by that the intestines themselves are going forward.
That means that pot belly is caused by the looseness of the muscles covering the intestines.
 
Iliopsoas is a muscle which connects the spine and the legs and is the key to lose weight. Weakness of iliopsoas gives you a bent back, causing pot belly, but if you strengthen iliopsoas, you can flatten your stomach and have good posture.
 
Exercise to strengthen iliopsoas
 
Starting posture (Fig. 1)

• Sit forward in a chair and place your feet shoulder-width apart.
• Straighten your back and lift your arms in front.

Movement (Fig. 2)

• Hunch your back, breathing out for 5 seconds (dent your belly like looking at your navel).
• Go back to the original posture, breathing in for 5 seconds.
• Repeat this movement 3 times (Performing this exercise SLOWLY stimulates iliopsoas.).

 
Another exercise (Fig. 3)

• Sit back in a chair and bend your knees at 90 degrees.
• Lift up one leg slowly taking 5 seconds and put it down taking 5 seconds.

 
It is good to exercise 2 hours after meals because the energy of protein that is the material of the muscles can be used 2 hours after meals. If you exercise when you are hungry, the muscles can be broken down and used as energy.
