Live Exercise Class for Reducing Waist Circumference

[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) will operate a live home training program called "Waist Circumference Reduction Exercise Class" starting from October 13 for female residents aged 50 to 64 who have risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

This exercise class is conducted through Naver Band's "live broadcast" to allow menopausal women, who require health caution due to increased abdominal circumference and high blood pressure and blood sugar caused by prolonged restrictions on outdoor activities due to the COVID-19 pandemic, to safely exercise at home.

The program runs every Tuesday and Thursday from 2 PM to 3 PM and consists of exercises using small equipment such as resistance bands, foam rollers, and balance boards, as well as home-based exercises using household items like toilet paper rolls and water bottles.

Additionally, lecture videos will be uploaded to Naver Band so that absentees or residents who want to repeat the exercises can do so at their preferred time.

Residents who wish to participate can apply by phone at the Geumcheon-gu Health Center's Health Management Center. Metabolic syndrome tests will be conducted for applicants, and those diagnosed with one or more risk factors can participate in the program.

Participants will receive a resistance band to use in the exercise class, and foam rollers and balance boards can be borrowed free of charge from the health center.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, "Although group exercises together are difficult due to COVID-19, we will support local residents to continuously manage their health as before by converting existing beneficial programs to non-face-to-face operations."
