Whether a woman practices yoga or Ba Duan Jin depends mainly on whether it is convenient for her and what kind of effect she wants to achieve.
1, Baduanjin: Baduanjin belongs to health qigong, and its movements are relatively simple. The requirements for the environment are not high, and you can practice anywhere indoors and outdoors. It has good effects of enhancing blood circulation, relieving fatigue, correcting shoulder and back, exercising waist muscles and regulating spleen and stomach.
2. Yoga: Yoga is a gentle exercise with many kinds and complicated movements. Because there are many actions of sitting and lying in yoga, the requirements for the environment are slightly higher, and the environment is spacious, so you can put a yoga mat. It has good self-cultivation, comfortable fitness and wisdom development.
The disadvantages of women practicing Baduanjin Women can also practice Baduanjin appropriately, and there is no harm.
Because Baduanjin is a good way to preserve health and prevent diseases, it is suitable for men, women and children to practice. In addition, compared with men, women's physique is worse in all aspects, especially married women, who are prone to gynecological diseases. Moreover, with the increase of women's age, their metabolism slows down and they are more likely to be obese. Practicing Baduanjin is not only convenient, but also can strengthen the body, improve immunity, promote metabolism and reduce obesity, which is very beneficial to women.
However, for patients with acute spinal cord injury, spinal cord compression, spinal cord injury and unexplained severe center of gravity, brain and lung diseases, Baduanjin should not be practiced to avoid discomfort.
Taboos for practicing Baduanjin 1. People with unexplained acute spinal cord injury should avoid practicing: for example, I don't know what caused the lumbar process, but I can't move it, or my back suddenly hurts. At this time, don't practice Ba Duan Jin or do other exercises easily, because practicing Ba Duan Jin will bend, stretch, bend and rotate the human spine, and any twisting and bending action at this time may aggravate the spinal injury.
2. People with spinal cord symptoms should avoid exercise: for example, patients with spinal cord compression and spinal cord injury, whose treatment and rehabilitation training need to be carried out under the guidance of doctors. If you have the intention to practice Ba Duan Jin, you can consult your doctor before deciding the time and way of exercise.
3. Patients with serious heart, brain and lung diseases should not practice: Although the movements of Baduanjin are simple and easy to learn, you will feel feverish and sweaty all over the body after a whole set, just like doing strenuous exercise, so people with serious heart, brain and lung diseases are not suitable for practicing Baduanjin to avoid inducing diseases. People with mild symptoms can practice Baduanjin after consulting a doctor.
4. People with weak physique should avoid practicing: Many people with weak physique will feel dizzy and tired as long as they walk a little more and move something, while Ba Duan Jin belongs to health qigong and needs to cooperate with breathing exercises. Those who are too weak and lack strength are not suitable for suddenly starting to practice.
5. Too hungry and too full to avoid training: Ba Duan Jin's whole set of exercises is also relatively large, and training in a hungry or full state may have adverse effects.
6. Avoid practicing in polluted air: Baduanjin belongs to health qigong and needs to be carried out with deep breathing. If you practice in polluted air, it will be harmful to your lungs.
What are the benefits of Baduanjin women's training? 1. Eliminating fatigue The first formula of Ba Duan Jin's "Two hands supporting natural triple energizer" is the stretching action of the trunk of limbs, which is very similar to stretching. It can strengthen the stretching activities of limbs and trunk, affect the redistribution of blood flow in chest and abdomen, help the expansion of lungs, deepen breathing and inhale more oxygen, which has a certain effect on eliminating fatigue.
2. Correcting Ba Duan Jin's shoulder and back "Holding Three Jiao with both hands" is a kind of stretching activity of the whole body, accompanied by deep breathing, which can adjust various parts of internal organs, has a good effect on the musculoskeletal structure of the back, and is helpful to correct bad postures such as shoulder adduction and round back. Therefore, young people who often study and work at their desks can also practice Baduanjin.
3. Add strong blood circulation to the body. The second style of Baduanjin is "opening the bow left and right like a sculpture". The focus of this action is on the chest, which is the focus in Chinese medicine terms. This action will affect the heart and lungs of the hands, arms and chest. By expanding the chest and arms, we can strengthen the muscles of the chest ribs and shoulder arms, strengthen the blood circulation of the body, and help to further correct the pathological conditions caused by incorrect posture.
4. Regulating the spleen and stomach, preventing and treating gastrointestinal diseases. The third type of Ba Duan Jin "single lifting and regulating the spleen and stomach", this action is to hold one hand and press it with one hand, and forcibly pull it up and down to further pull the internal organs and muscles on both sides, especially the liver, gallbladder, spleen and stomach, so as to enhance gastrointestinal peristalsis and digestive function. Long-term training is helpful to prevent and treat gastrointestinal diseases.
5. Enhance blood circulation in the head. The fourth style of Baduanjin is "looking back after five injuries and seven injuries". This action is that the head rotates left and right repeatedly, and the eyeball looks back as far as possible, which is obviously a head action. Head exercise has obvious effects on promoting blood circulation in the head and enhancing neck muscle activity, which is helpful to prevent and treat cervical spondylosis, maintain the normal movement function of neck muscles, improve the balance function of patients with hypertension and arteriosclerosis, and reduce dizziness. It can also promote the elimination of brain and central nervous system fatigue and some physiological dysfunction.
6. Enhance physical fitness The fifth style of Ba Duan Jin "shake your head and wag your tail to get rid of the heart fire" is a whole-body action, which has a good effect on the whole body. Swinging the head and tail and turning the body can relax the spirit, improve the functions of various organs and systems in the whole body and enhance physical fitness.
7. Exercise the waist muscle Ba Duan Jin Sixth Style "Climb your feet with both hands and strengthen your kidney and waist". This action is both forward and backward, which can fully stretch your back muscles and stretch your arms as much as possible. Sticking to practicing climbing feet with both hands can stretch and exercise your lumbar muscles, and strengthen various tissues and organs of the waist, especially the kidneys and adrenal glands, which not only helps to prevent and treat common diseases such as lumbar muscle strain, but also helps to prevent and treat common diseases.
8. Strengthen eye muscles and prevent myopia.
