Bodyflex is a system of breathing techniques and isometric exercises that has been the subject of controversy for many years. The adherents of this system argue that nothing more effective has been invented to improve the condition of the figure, and its opponents consider body flex to be quackery.
The benefits of the bodyflex system
From the point of view of many specialists, bodyflex is, at a minimum, an excellent and effective way to enrich the tissues of the body with oxygen. The undoubted benefit of oxygen is that it destroys bacteria, viruses and cancers. In addition, bodyflex contributes to the achievement of an aerobic effect several times faster than jogging. It is believed that an hour of jogging burns about 700 kcal, and an hour of active body flexing - 2000-3500 kcal. At the same time, bodyflex does not cause hunger.
Even a very busy person can allocate 15 minutes a day for body flexing.
Intense aerobic breathing perfectly "massages" most of the internal organs, helps to normalize lymph flow and metabolism. Constant body flex exercises strengthen muscles, increase lung capacity, and add energy. The founder of the technique promises that in a week of training, you can decrease in the abdomen by 10-15 cm. Moreover, it takes only about fifteen minutes to spend on body flex.
This system of breathing exercises heals the body, strengthens the heart and blood vessels, and improves overall well-being. Undoubtedly, the positive effect of regular body flexing is an increase in the amount of energy.
Potential harm to bodyflex exercises
However, there are also experts who believe that bodyflex is harmful, since this system is based on breath holding and oxygen starvation, which can be risky for the body. They believe that due to oxygen starvation, a person may perceive the surrounding reality worse, and due to a lack of oxygen in the body, cancer cells can develop much faster.
To play it safe, you should not do body flex if you have hypertension, thyroid problems. If you have ever suffered a traumatic brain injury, you should approach your classes as carefully as possible.
Hyperventilation of the lungs, which essentially occurs during body flexing, can be dangerous, since during its process the blood can be depleted of carbon compounds, which means involuntary fainting can occur.
A sharp change in blood flow in the brain may occur due to the above hyperventilation, in connection with this, a sharp narrowing of the cerebral vessels may occur, respectively, the supply of oxygen-enriched blood may decrease by 20-30%.
