Girls have thick trapezius muscles and look like hunchbacks

Women are very concerned about their figure. The trapezius muscle is located on the neck and back. If it is too thick, women will look stout and strong. Some trapezius muscle exercises can make the trapezius muscle thinner, but it requires long-term persistence to be effective. Mastering the correct method to exercise the trapezius muscle will not make the neck shorter and thicker, but will make the neck more slender and the clavicle more obvious.

1. Causes of thick upper trapezius muscle

In fact, the reason why the upper trapezius muscle is relatively thick is caused by oneself. In our daily life, we may often carry a backpack. In this case, everyone will hunch their backs or stretch their necks forward. These actions can stimulate the trapezius muscles and cause an unhealthy posture for one's image, and also cause some harm by compressing the cervical spine. Therefore, everyone should pay attention and get rid of these bad habits, so as to prevent the upper trapezius muscles from becoming thicker and thicker from the source. If your arms often lift heavy objects, the back muscles will be exerted, which will lead to the appearance of thicker trapezius muscles.

2. Stretching exercises to remove the upper trapezius muscle

First of all, the reason why the upper trapezius muscle is relatively thick is that it is in a relatively tense state for a long time. Therefore, if you want to make the upper trapezius muscle thinner, you should often stretch, massage and knead your upper trapezius muscle. In fact, muscles that have been exerting compensatory force for a long time are often in a state of mild contracture and fatigue. Therefore, if you can help massage and stretch these muscles, it can restore their elasticity and prevent muscle fibers from becoming cord-like, which is very beneficial. You can also use lighter dumbbells to perform movements such as front raises, lateral raises, and curls, but the weight must be kept relatively small and should not exceed three kilograms. If it exceeds three kilograms, it is very likely that our upper trapezius muscle will be exercised again, which will be counterproductive and make the upper trapezius muscle thicker and thicker.

3. Exercise before bed

If you feel that you are not exercising enough, you can exercise before going to bed. This exercise mode before going to bed is also very effective. Before going to bed every day, you can do abdominal breathing exercises. Abdominal breathing before going to bed is not only beneficial for eliminating trapezius muscles, but also allows us to fall asleep faster, make our gastrointestinal motility faster, promote metabolism, and make the body healthier. Before going to bed, just lie flat on the bed, and when you inhale, let your stomach puff up, and when you exhale, let your stomach deflate. Do this repeatedly. After ten minutes, you will be able to feel a certain tightness in your abdomen. This way, you can get a certain amount of exercise. If you feel that it is not enough, you can add a few more minutes.
