40-year-old Zhang Ziyi took a recent photo: Self-discipline and non-self-discipline lead completely different lives!

In the high-definition lens, her makeup is exquisite, her skin is firm and fair, and she is elegant and moving like a mermaid in a big red dress. She is in perfect condition, and she can't tell that she is a 40-year-old mother at all.

Zhang Ziyi is really hard on himself. In the past 20 years, she has not only achieved great success in her career, but also displayed herself in the most perfect posture every time, which is absolutely inseparable from her persistence and self-discipline for ten years.

Introduce a set of poses to help you exercise yourself better and make you more temperament. Let's have a look! !

1. Warrior 2

Warrior II is called Warrior Pose II in English and Virabhadrasana II in Sanskrit. Virabhadra means "warrior", the incarnation of Shiva, and sana means "posture", so this posture is called Warrior II.

Practicing Warrior II can help exercisers exercise leg muscles and make them more symmetrical and strong. At the same time, it also relieves the muscle spasm of the calf and thigh, enhances the muscle elasticity of the leg and back, and strengthens the abdominal organs at the same time, and prepares for the later more difficult poses through standing exercises.

Practice method:

A. Inhale deeply, with your feet jumping 4 feet to 4.5 feet, with the outside of your feet parallel to the mat surface and your toes pointing straight ahead;

B. Raise your hands horizontally, turn your right foot 90 degrees, slightly buckle your left foot, keep the heel of your right foot in a straight line with your left foot, lift the kneecap, rotate your thighs outward, and keep the toe of your right foot in a straight line with your knees;

C keep the pelvis upright, the coccyx sink, the chest open, exhale, push the hind legs, the knees of the front legs bend, the knees are in the same direction as the toes, and the calves are vertical to the ground. Turn your head and look at the fingertip extension line in the direction of bending your knees.

D. Keep the pose for 30 seconds, and then change legs to practice.

2. Warrior II variant

Variant pose is a variant of standard pose, which can reduce the difficulty of pose and let beginners exercise pose better. A little adjustment of posture can make the posture better.

How to adjust? My suggestion is to adjust the legs first, so that the hips can accommodate the legs and the upper body naturally stretches. That is to say, when bending the front knee, the hip can rotate slightly in the direction of the front leg, so as to ensure that the legs can be firmly rooted on the ground, the groin can be stretched enough, and the upper body can remain neutral without collapsing.

That's the end of today's pose explanation. Beginners will practice warrior II to reduce the difficulty of asana, and advanced scholars will practice standard warrior II. No matter which posture, it can help practitioners to exercise better and keep practicing together! ! !
