Can I sit down after finishing the weight loss exercise

After completing weight loss exercises, you can generally sit down, but it is recommended to walk around appropriately before resting.

Weight loss exercises belong to moderate to low-intensity aerobic exercise, which accelerates blood circulation and puts muscles in a congested state after exercise. If you sit down immediately, it may affect the blood flow back to the lower limbs and cause temporary lower limb soreness or dizziness. Keeping a slow walk or stretch for 5-10 minutes after exercise can help smooth the transition of heart rate and promote the elimination of metabolic waste. When taking a walk, focus on moving the hip and knee joints, and use deep breathing to regulate autonomic nervous system function. Some people may experience orthostatic hypotension after exercise, and walking slowly can reduce discomfort such as darkening of the eyes. Individuals with knee joint injuries or varicose veins should pay special attention, as prolonged sitting may worsen joint stiffness or lower limb venous congestion. It is recommended for this group of people to stand still against the wall or raise their legs to rest, avoiding a completely bent posture. If there are obvious palpitations or difficulty breathing after exercise, it is necessary to immediately stop the activity and adopt a semi recumbent position. cardiovascular disease patients should monitor heart rate changes after exercise and maintain an upright upper body posture when sitting down to rest.

Within 30 minutes after exercise, it is recommended to replenish an appropriate amount of electrolyte water and avoid immediately consuming high-fat foods. Choose seats with good breathability to maintain the natural physiological curvature of the spine. Those who insist on exercising for a long time are suggested to relax with fascia, and use foam shaft to roll the muscles at the back of thigh and buttocks. If lower limb edema or pain persists after exercise, it is necessary to investigate the possibility of muscle strain or venous thrombosis.
