Squatting exercises for the psoas major muscle, posture, and hair care methods

Squats can help strengthen the psoas major muscle.

Therefore, I recommend that everyone exercise their psoas major muscle.

The psoas major muscle controls the forward and backward movements during sexual activity and is a very important muscle for men. Strong psoas major muscles are essential for maintaining a clear back. Therefore, squatting exercises are recommended. Please try doing them in the following order:

① Stand with your feet at a distance twice the width of your shoulders, toes pointing outwards;

② While inhaling, relax and bend your knees, squatting down until your thighs are parallel to the ground;

③ Exhale while tightening your buttocks and abdomen to return to the original position.

At this point, the upper body should be relaxed. Do 10 repetitions per set, for a total of three sets of exercises to strengthen the psoas major muscle. In addition to squats, there are also exercises such as jumping up and down stairs, and consciously increasing the number of times you raise your knees.

24. Demeanor depends on posture.

Hair and posture are two key factors that determine a man's first impression of his youth.

Just as the scientific evidence listed in the bestselling novel "Appearance Determines 90% of a Person's Value" (Ichiro Takeuchi, Shinchosha) suggests, "nonverbal communication = appearance" determines a significant portion of our worth. Moreover, impressions of people are not formed from details, but primarily from the overall impression they give. This is why hair and posture are particularly important.

Many people pay attention to hair care, but in reality, aren't there also many people who don't care about their posture at all? As long as the posture is "clean and neat," it will give people a positive, intelligent, and youthful impression. Even if you have a little belly, freckles, or loose skin, these negative impressions will hardly be noticed.

The pectoral muscles hold the essence of elegance.

A person with "good temperament" radiates positive energy from their chest. The pectoralis major muscle is one of the muscles that hardens most easily with age. When this muscle hardens, it pulls the shoulders forward. Forward shoulders lead to a hunched back, with the shoulder blades moving away from the spine, stretching the back muscles. Consequently, oxygen and nutrients struggle to reach the muscles, and insufficient energy can cause frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis). Compared to Europeans, Japanese people are naturally more prone to inward-facing shoulders, making them more susceptible to frozen shoulder.

Therefore, it is necessary to perform conscious pectoral muscle stretching exercises. Please master the "style and form" of your shoulders.

Stand upright with your hands at your sides, neck and spine straight, chin parallel to the ground. Engage your lower abdomen and tighten your glutes, bringing them towards the center. Be careful not to raise your shoulders. Slowly turn your palms over.

Turn your palms outwards; you'll feel your shoulders being pulled diagonally backwards. Expand your pectoral muscles and consciously lower them. Forcefully pull your shoulder blades towards the center. Keeping your shoulders in the same position, return your palms to their original position, facing inwards.

At this point, be careful not to stick your chin out. Leaning back indicates you don't have abdominal muscles. Try to open your chest as much as possible, and tighten your abdomen and buttocks.

Maintaining this pose will increase your handsomeness and elegance by 200%.

A "beautiful standing posture" is a man's lifelong weapon.

[Special Topic II] Countermeasures for Thinning Hair

25. Masculinity and Hair

"What men care about most is their genitals and hair."

Before I started writing this book, I consulted several men.

Now that you mention it, I'm reminded of an amazing experience I had before.

That day, I went to a party for some reason and visited a friend's hair clinic. After the party ended around 6:30, I went outside and saw the waiting room packed with patients returning home from get off work. Although they were patients, none of them were sick. They were all people concerned about their hair. But what was surprising was that not a single person in the waiting room was bald; no, as a woman, I didn't think anyone looked thinning hair. Men over 30 or 40, exuding youthful energy and vitality, were quietly waiting for their numbers... It was definitely a completely different scene from what I had expected at a men's hair clinic.

Hair is indeed a big deal. While obesity can be overcome with effort, baldness is unstoppable. According to a Keio University man who was incredibly handsome and charming in his youth, his hair started thinning after age 25, and now he's a bald old man (excuse me!). At class reunions, men over 50 are more memorable to women than those with handsome faces; they are often characterized by thick hair.

One of the most surprising things for foreigners visiting Japan these days is the diverse array of hairstyles worn by young men. Because many young foreign men lack the funds, they often have their girlfriends cut their hair. Without going to a hair salon, they can't achieve the subtle styles created with styling products. These days, young men are so concerned about their hair; it's considered a prerequisite for being handsome. For them, thinning hair is a terrifying prospect! The men crowding the waiting rooms of hair clinics are mostly older men, but their feelings are the same as those of the younger generation.

Patients who were advised to take several times the prescribed dose of medication should be aware that it would be "bad for their liver," but the response they reportedly received was, "If I had to go to work with so little hair, I'd rather die."

I'm sure everyone can understand this feeling, right?
