A brand-new way of exercise: water yoga 2 benefits of water yoga
First, it is more laborious.
The feeling of being blocked in water is more than 800 times that in air. If you move at the same speed and complete the same group of actions, you will consume at least 6 times more power in water than on land. So the water sports meeting will get twice the result with half the effort.
Second, care for the skin.
Because there is relatively little sweating in water, it reduces the irritation of salt in sweat to the skin after land training. The friction flapping of water and waves has a special massage function, which can effectively avoid and reduce the relaxation and aging of the skin and make the skin smooth, smooth and elastic. At the same time, it can also eliminate depression and fatigue and reduce mental and physical burden.
Third, the weight loss effect is outstanding.
Aerobic energy consumption is used for oxygen in water, and glycogen fat is the main energy supply. Therefore, it plays a very significant role in regulating body fat metabolism and reducing body fat while carrying out this exercise with a scientific nutritional diet plan. Water exercise has the strongest plasticity, especially leg and waist and abdomen muscles, so water muscle exercise is regarded as the most popular muscle exercise method-isokinetic exercise, which is efficient and safe.
Fourth, more heat consumption.
The heat dissipation of water is far greater than that of air, which is more than 28 times that of air. Experiments show that the heat consumed by a person who exercises in water for 20 minutes is equivalent to the same intensity of exercise on land 1 hour or more. For example, a freshly boiled egg takes a long time to cool, and the cooling speed in water is much faster than that in air.
Five, less injuries
When moving in water, the buoyancy of water can greatly reduce the impact on all joints of the body, so that all joints of the human body are not easy to be injured. In addition, the buoyancy of water makes obese people feel relaxed when they exercise in water, which overcomes the shortcoming that they are easy to get tired when they exercise on land. It can be said that water aerobics is the most suitable physical activity for obese people. Long-term insistence on doing water aerobics can adjust the posture of human body and the physiological curvature of spine, and make the whole human body develop streamline. Think about which synchronized swimmer's body is not sharp and smooth.
