1, half-toe type. The biggest function of the semi-tiptoe yoga pose is to improve the blood circulation of our lower body, promote the excretion of metabolic waste, and then eliminate leg edema. Half-tiptoe exercise can not only help us slim and beautify our legs, but also effectively improve the muscle strength of our calves and prevent venous embolism in our legs. Especially suitable for teachers, sales staff and other people who stand for a long time.
Action essentials: First, kneel on the yoga mat in a simple sitting position and keep breathing naturally. Then when exhaling, lean forward, stand on your toes, and put your knees together in a squat posture. At this time, your hands can be placed at both ends of your body to help support balance. Then we open our knees to both sides and keep our heels in a relative position. When inhaling, we stand up straight, our spine stretches upward, and our hands form fingerprints, one on our chest and the other on our knees. At this time, we will feel great pressure on our toes.
2. Vertical fork type. The vertical fork is actually an upgraded version of the half-toe style, which has a more obvious effect on the modification of our leg lines and can play a role in the big legs and calves at the same time, so people who stand for a long time and sit for a long time are very suitable for this yoga style. However, it is worth noting that the vertical fork is more difficult to move. Therefore, everyone should practice the vertical fork posture after being familiar with the half-toe posture. Action essentials: put your feet together, raise your arms as high as possible, and support your body with your hands. When inhaling, the toes of both feet are raised, the left calf is slowly hooked backwards and stretched upwards until the legs are in a straight line, and this posture is maintained for 5- 10 seconds, then the left leg is lowered, and the head, chest and abdomen sink at the same time, and the toes are kept upward. At this time, you will feel the obvious stretching of leg muscles.
