Prescription 1: "strength yoga" of meditation.
"Yoga, it's more like an office girl's practice. Let's not get together for this excitement. What should I do if I flash my waist and twist my joints? " Although Mr. Luo, a bank clerk, is suffering from lack of exercise, muscle relaxation and paunch, his yoga advice to the fitness instructor is still unacceptable.
"Many men have always thought that yoga is a woman's sport, but the yoga masters in ancient India are almost all men." The coach said, "The essence of yoga is to emphasize people's control over their own bodies, rather than having to do certain postures." At the same time, yoga makes people feel a relatively quiet mood, and the process of practice is also a process of understanding the truth of life. Modern men who are under the pressure of work and family should practice strength yoga while coping with impetuous and high-paced life, so that they can exercise and meditate. Why not? "
The coach told the reporter that there is a kind of "strength yoga" that is especially suitable for men to practice. First of all, strength yoga can enhance men's control over the body and muscle strength; Secondly, flexibility can be exercised to a certain extent, thus reducing the pressure of muscles on bones; Finally, strength yoga can also help muscles bring more nutrition and nutrients, so that the body can get more energy. Strength yoga has a strong sculptural effect, especially on the lines of arms, waist and buttocks, which can make practitioners have a soft and strong body. At the same time, it also enhances the cardiopulmonary circulation function and promotes metabolism.
Prescription 2: "Pilates" is safe for health.
Pilates was founded by Joseph Pilates, who was a sickly German since childhood. He found that westerners pay more attention to the training of physical muscle ability, such as running and skiing. Orientals pay more attention to breathing and spiritual aspects, such as yoga and Tai Chi. Therefore, in order to overcome physical illness and restore health, he combined the different sports concepts of the East and the West, and created an exercise method, which integrated the advantages of eastern flexibility and western power and was recognized by many people. It was originally used as physical therapy for athletes and patients to recover their motor function, and then gradually developed into a fitness exercise-Pilates.
"Pilates combines some movements of yoga, martial arts and dance, which can restore the human bones to their original best state. It is a safe, reasonable and easy-to-use exercise method. " The coach told the reporter that Pilates, based on sports anatomy and sports physiology, combines the western micro-sports concept with the eastern macro-sports concept, eliminates the movements harmful to the joints, and does not lose instrumental movements in shaping the male figure. "It only takes about 45 minutes to practice Pilates every time, which is very relaxing and interesting. It won't make people feel that fitness is' paid' and it's easier to stick to it. "
It is understood that practicing Pilates is especially beneficial to office workers, who work in front of desks and computers for a long time, resulting in uneven muscle development. Pilates is mainly aimed at abdominal muscles, gluteal muscles, shoulders, back and other parts of the muscle training. Regular pilates exercises can correct body posture, relax waist and neck, solve shoulder problems and tighten loose muscles in arms and abdomen. Nowadays, many professional athletes also use Pilates to avoid sports injuries.
Prescription 3: China Wushu releases pressure.
"China Wushu is full of a' peaceful' artistic conception, especially in line with the golden mean of the East." Speaking of martial arts, the coach's words revealed a trace of pride. "China Wushu has a long history. In the development process of thousands of years, many previous experiences have increased its security. It doesn't emphasize antagonism like Taekwondo, but it can also help practitioners vent their pressure. It is a good decompression method for' pressure cooker' men. "
Although Tai Chi is also a good exercise method, it emphasizes the whole system, and Wushu is more feasible for ordinary men with less time and low foundation. Because Wushu is divided into different grades, the exercise content is different, which is relatively simple, interesting and easy to adhere to.
