How to Kill Insomnia and Slim Down at the same time? - Instructions

A few of my friends, who have difficulty with Chinese, asked me to do an English version of the Step by Step routine for my previous post 'How to Kill Insomnia and Slim Down at the same time?'




Ok, so here's the Step by Step to a life of killing your insomia, slimming down that waistline, hips and thighs AND a BETTER BOWEL SYSTEM.

Do the following steps BEFORE GOING TO BED for a good night rest.

Step 1: Lie flat on your back

Step 2: Place your legs slightly apart

Step 3: For warm up, do the fingers and toes squeeze exercise as shown in the video. Do it for 30 times. (If you realise there is a significant difference in difficulty in doing the exercise between your left and your right toes, then bring your legs closer to each other and the difference between the two sides will decrease.)

Step 4: Place your legs apart with your toes pointing outwards. (To know how far apart your legs should be, use your shoulders as a guide. The outward-pointing-toes should be the width of your shoulders.)

Step 5: Bend your toes and ankles towards yourself.

Step 6: Maintaining that position, keeping your legs straightened, taking a deep breath as you lift up your legs to 30cm above ground and HOLD them there. (Note: Lift your legs and take that deep breath AT THE SAME TIME)


Step 7: Let your legs stay in the air for 10 counts while holding your breath.

Step 8: Drop your legs. (my favourite part *giggle*)

Step 9: Slowly breath out.

Step 10: Stay in that relax position for 2mins. Breathing normally.

and Good Night. *yawn*


Do the following steps BEFORE YOU LEAVE YOUR BED in the morning to prevent constipation:

Step 1: Place your legs slightly apart.

Step 2: Bring your toes in towards each other with your big toes pressing against one another side by side. As shown in the video.

Step 3: Maintaining the same position, take a very deep breath.

Step 4: (here's the most challenging part, to me) While releasing your breath, lift up your legs to 30cm above the ground. (Note: Lift your legs and release that deep breath AT THE SAME TIME)

Step 5: Let your legs stay in the air for 10 counts.

Step 6: Drop your legs. (Yeah!)

Step 7: Stay in that relax position for 2mins. Breathing normally.

Step 8: Keeping your arms straight, put your hands above your head. As shown in the video.

Step 9: Maintaining that position, roll your body over till you are facing down and lying on your tummy.

Step 10: With your knee 'stuck' to the ground and your head down, slowly use your hands to push your body backwards, towards your legs till you reach a position whereby your arms and back is straightened. Hold it there for one second.

Step 11: Still maintaining your head down, slowly slide your hands back till your elbow is bent 90degrees.

Step 12: In that position, push your body further backwards till your bum sits on your legs.

Step 13: Slowly slide your hands back till your elbow is bent. Push your body upwards.

Step 14: Put your hands on your laps to further push your body fully up with your back 90degrees to the ground. Like a Japanese style sitting position.

Step 15: Lift up one leg with your knee bent, then use that leg to push your whole body up to a standing position.

and you are ready to start your day! *Grin*

Do all the above mentioned 25 steps, Before going to bed and Before getting out of bed to see slimming down effect.

HAVE FUN! *smile*
