1, can you lose weight by playing Tai Ji Chuan?
Playing Tai Ji Chuan can help you lose weight to some extent. Tai Ji Chuan is an aerobic exercise. During Tai Ji Chuan exercise, sweating a lot, deepening breathing and accelerating gastrointestinal peristalsis can accelerate the circulation of blood and lymph, so that the decomposed and liquefied fat components can be excreted through sweat glands, breathing and defecation during weight loss, thus achieving the effect of weight loss. Moreover, hitting Tai Ji Chuan has the function of dredging meridians. Many people are obese because of the accumulation of toxins in the body and poor blood circulation. After dredging the meridians, the toxins in the body are discharged, and the weight loss effect is better. It is worth noting that weight loss needs to ensure enough exercise and control diet, so that the slimming effect is better.
2. How to practice Tai Ji Chuan to lose weight?
(1) a certain amount of exercise
It takes about 1 to 2 hours to practice Tai Ji Chuan to lose weight. Taiji refers to the consumption of fat in long-term exercise, and the intensity determines the weight loss effect.
(2) meet the requirements
Relaxation does not mean relaxation, but in the case of natural activity or stability of the body, relax some muscles and joints that may be relaxed to the maximum extent, and avoid clumsy and stiff exertion during action. Tai Chi requires the upper body to be straight and comfortable, the arms to be rounded, and the legs to be flexed to the required degree.
(3) Up and down, whole body coordination
Go hand in hand, that is, the movements of lower limbs and upper limbs should be coordinated, not that the movements of lower limbs have been completed, but that of upper limbs have not been completed. Although beginners know theoretically that they should take the waist as the axis and the limbs are driven by the trunk to complete the action, they often can't cooperate closely. Therefore, they should first try to coordinate their limbs through simple exercises, and then gradually achieve the coordination and integrity of the whole body through coherent exercises of all movements, so that all parts of the body can be exercised and developed in a balanced way.
(4) Natural respiration
Tai Ji Chuan asked to breathe naturally and not be short of breath due to exercise. Breathe when you are a beginner, breathe, breathe and move freely. After he has mastered the movements, he will naturally cooperate with the movements according to his personal exercise experience and degree, along with the speed and range of movements, and according to the requirements of starting and stopping breathing, opening and closing breathing.
3. The best time to practice Tai Ji Chuan.
It is best to practice Tai Ji Chuan at dawn or evening every day.
In the morning, the air is fresh and the environment is quiet, which can make the human body enter an active state from the sleep inhibition state, make the functions of various organs of the body active, and prepare mentally and physically for the day's work. In the evening, if you don't feel too tired after a day's work, you can adjust or resolve the fatigue after physical or mental work through boxing. But practicing boxing in the morning and evening also has a disadvantage, that is, the lack of sunshine, the benefits of exercising in the sun can not be obtained.
If you can't exercise at the above time, you can make an exercise plan according to your own specific situation. You can also practice Tai Ji Chuan at rest, which not only exercises your body, but also relieves mental fatigue, which is beneficial to your work. Similarly, manual workers exercise during their rest time, which also helps to eliminate fatigue and promote the all-round development of the body. Workers with three shifts will arrange their time and keep practicing boxing, which can also achieve the effect of keeping fit.
When you are on the morning shift, you can practice boxing in the early hours of the morning, and the amount of exercise can be larger; It can also be in the afternoon or evening, but it should not be too late, so as not to get too excited in the cerebral cortex and affect sleep.
It is best to go to the middle shift after 8: 30 in the morning, and moderate exercise is appropriate.
Practice at night shift around 4 pm, and the amount of exercise can be less.
In short, the time to practice boxing should be tailored to people, time and local conditions. If you don't have complete time, you can even divide it into several parts and practice it several times, which is equally effective.
