For middle-aged and elderly people, with the growth of age, their physical function is declining, and they may not be able to bear high-intensity exercise, but some moderate and low-intensity exercises are still more comfortable for them. As a result, the sport of "tiptoe" was gradually discovered and became popular among middle-aged and elderly people.
In the field of modern medicine, tiptoe may only strengthen the strength of the legs, but in the field of traditional Chinese medicine, there are countless acupoints and meridians on the soles and legs, and tiptoe is very helpful to health, which may be one of the reasons why middle-aged and elderly people fall in love with this sport.
Aunt Zhejiang insists on "tiptoeing" before going to bed. How is her health after half a year?
Aunt Liu from Zhejiang is 53 years old this year. As she has entered middle age, her health is deteriorating. Therefore, Aunt Liu pays special attention to hygiene and always stands on tiptoe before going to bed every night. How is Aunt Liu's health after half a year?
1, with strong legs and feet, it is not difficult to go upstairs.
Aunt Liu lives on the fourth floor. Because there is no elevator installed on the multi-storey building, it has become a trouble for her to climb the stairs.
I used to be breathless when climbing the fourth floor, but after standing on tiptoe for half a year, climbing stairs became much easier. This is because tiptoe can exercise leg muscles and enhance leg strength, and going upstairs mainly depends on the strength of leg muscles, so it is easier and easier for Aunt Liu to climb stairs.
2. Physical coordination is enhanced.
After many people reach middle-aged and old age, their physical coordination will decline, mainly due to some chronic diseases, or muscle atrophy and physical decline. In the past, Aunt Liu's physical coordination was average, but after six months of tiptoe, her physical coordination was obviously enhanced, and she could even bend down with one leg to get things, which many peers could not do!
Because when you stand on tiptoe, both leg muscles and core muscles can be exercised, which can not only increase muscle strength, but also enhance the coordination ability between muscle groups.
It is worth mentioning that many elderly people will have fractures after falling. This is because after getting old, bone mass will continue to lose, which is prone to osteoporosis. After improving the coordination of the body, the probability of falling can be reduced, thus avoiding the fracture caused by falling.
3, the leg shape becomes beautiful
The toe tip can mainly train the leg muscles, and when the muscles are exercising, the local fat will burn faster, because after the training intensity reaches a certain level, the fat will be gathered to provide energy for the muscles, so Aunt Liu found that after sticking to the toe tip for half a year, her legs became thinner and more beautiful.
Step 4 sleep better
Many middle-aged and elderly friends suffer from insomnia, and Aunt Liu is one of them. In the past, she had to lie down for at least half an hour every night to gradually fall asleep. Sometimes it took two hours to fall asleep, and it was easy to wake up in the early morning. After standing on tiptoe for half a year, Aunt Liu's sleep quality has obviously improved. Not only does it become easy to fall asleep, but it is also difficult to wake up in the early morning. She often sleeps until dawn.
What are the precautions for tiptoeing?
If you want to improve your physique by standing on tiptoe, you need to pay attention to two aspects, namely "warming up" and "stretching".
Warm-up before tiptoe can promote blood circulation and make more blood flow to muscles, thus avoiding accidents; Stretching calf muscles after tiptoeing can also prevent muscle soreness and promote lactic acid excretion, which is beneficial to health.
Conclusion: Seeing this, are you eager to try? It is suggested that the time of tiptoeing should be controlled at 10-20 minutes, neither too short nor too long, and keep practicing every day. In the long run, it will bring you many benefits, so act quickly.
