Can I practice yoga with knee pain?
Knee pain Whether you can practice yoga mainly depends on the causes of knee pain and the types of yoga.
If the knee is only slightly painful, due to arthritis, synovitis and other reasons, appropriate exercise can promote the recovery of the knee, but it should not be too intense. You can do some yoga moves that will not cause too much burden on your knees.
However, knee pain is caused by dislocation of knee joint, meniscus injury and other reasons, which requires rest and recovery, so it is necessary to lie down for a period of time according to the doctor's advice. Let's put down yoga first.
Can I practice yoga with a thin stomach?
Yoga can exercise abdominal muscles and burn abdominal fat, thus playing the role of thin abdomen. Many female friends often practice yoga to reduce their stomachs.
In fact, yoga is really slow to lose weight compared with other strenuous aerobic exercises, because it burns fewer calories. But yoga losing weight slowly doesn't mean it's ineffective. Moreover, more importantly, the biggest benefit of yoga to lose weight is that even if you suddenly stop practicing, the rebound speed is as slow as losing weight, which aerobic exercise can't do.
So yoga is a good way to lose weight. At least compared with other aerobic exercises, you don't have to worry too much about the rebound caused by your exercise habit of "fishing for three days and drying the net for two days".
How to practice yoga with knee pain?
Internal leg lift
Starting posture: the left side of the body lies on the floor, with the hips slightly leaning forward and the right hip directly above the left hip. Straighten your left leg and lie flat on the floor naturally. The right knee is slightly bent, and the inside of the right foot is placed on the floor not far in front of the body. Bend your left elbow and rest your head on your left arm. Put the palm of your right hand on the floor in front of your chest to support your body.
Action process: the rest of the body remains stable, and the inner muscle of the left thigh contracts and lifts about 15cm. Hold for 3 seconds, and then slowly recover. After one leg has completed the target number of times, switch to the other leg. Do 2 ~ 3 groups, each group 15 times, alternating left and right legs.
How to improve the difficulty: when the leg is in the highest position, lift the leg up 4 ~ 8 times (don't land), then restore and do the next action.
Straighten your feet and lift your legs.
Starting posture: Sit on the floor with your left leg straight in front of your body, toes up, your right foot flat on the floor and your right leg bent. Keep your torso straight, contract your abdominal muscles, lean back, support your hands behind your body, and put your weight on your forearms. Gently lift the left toe and rotate it outward from the hip so that the toe points to the 1 1 o'clock position on the dial (when the right leg moves, the position of the right foot turns to the 1 o'clock position).
