But it was these slow and simple movements that kept me going and really made a lot of progress.
I was sickly since I was a child, and I didn't know what a physiological headache was until adolescence! When I was sick at school, the company always reimbursed the most for medicine after work.
Later, I had a problem with my knee and couldn't do strenuous exercise. Someone advised me to do soothing wuqinxi and baduanjin all my life.
At first, I didn't care too much. I thought it was all for the elderly.
Until the TV series "Military Alliance" was broadcast, Sima Qian often used Wuqinxi to keep fit and meditate. It gave me a role.
Later, I checked the information and found that it was the "Fitness Qigong Five-Animal Play" launched by the State Sports General Administration, which was really easy to learn.
Later, I went to Bozhou, Anhui Province, the hometown of Wuqinxi, and attended a training course offered by hua tuo wuqinxi College.
Bozhou, a small city, 20 1 1 is known as the "hometown of longevity" with a population of nearly 1,000 people over 100 years old. From dolls to white-haired old people, everyone practices one thing in daily life.
After imitating "tiger, deer, bear, ape and bird", Hua Tuo created the "Five Birds Play" thousands of years ago. As a close neighbor of Huatuo's descendants, Bozhou people have always regarded Wuqinxi as a daily fitness activity. In addition, paying attention to medical health care has also become the secret of Bozhou people's health and longevity.
Teacher Zhou Jinzhong, the head of the 58th generation of hua tuo wuqinxi, has inherited the traditional hua tuo wuqinxi for more than 20 years; According to the traditional hua tuo wuqinxi, the State Sports General Administration adapted the Wu Qin Play of Warm-up Qigong, which is easy to spread widely.
At that time, it happened to catch up with the national wuqinxi competition. What impressed me the most were the uncles and aunts of Hebei Anti-cancer Association. They are from their fifties to their seventies. Because they get together and insist on one thing, their oldest patient has been walking together for seven or eight years!
I have been practicing Wuqinxi in the morning or afternoon since I came back from my trip to Bozhou. Sometimes when I'm in a bad state, I change my practice into a more soothing eight-segment brocade.
I feel more energetic than before, and the biggest change is breathing.
Abdominal breathing can be started almost at any time, which is especially helpful for emotional regulation. When you are nervous and anxious, you can calm down quickly. When you join the quality exercise, you don't have to spend your energy on breathing at all, you can control it freely.
In addition, through simple movements, I found that my legs became stronger and my body stretched a lot more than before. Do some yoga moves, and it won't be so difficult.
Write it at the end
Compared with yoga and Pilates, Wuqinxi and Baduanjin are easier to learn and stick to! Bozhou, the hometown of longevity, people really take getting up early to practice as their daily life. Why don't we accept this healthy wealth left by our ancestors?
