Yoga can not only exercise and modify body lines, but also form obvious big muscles, so it has always been loved by urban women. But there are many yoga products, how to buy them? Here's how to choose the right yoga supplies.
How to choose the right yoga supplies 1, the types of supplies, and the purchase time.
Yoga supplies include yoga clothes, yoga mats, yoga bricks, yoga ropes, yoga balls, yoga dumbbells, yoga gloves, yoga socks, yoga stretching belts, yoga VCD, books and so on. According to the order of use, yoga clothes, yoga mats and VCD are the first tools used in practice, and they are the minimum tools for practicing yoga. For beginners, you need to buy clothes, mats and VCD first, and yoga ropes, balls, belts, bricks and dumbbells are gradually increased on the basis of certain yoga.
Buy yoga clothes
Yoga has a large range of movements, which requires clothing to choose materials with good elasticity and sweating during exercise, and materials with high sweat absorption and permeability. Some nylons on the market have good elasticity, but poor sweat absorption, and some have good sweat absorption, but they are completely inelastic and loose to wear. Yoga clothes should be made of elastic and sweat-absorbing materials, which can not only make you feel comfortable, but also stretch freely. When choosing trousers, it is recommended to use trousers with two knots as much as possible.
Select VCD/DVD for practice.
VCD/DVD is just like a textbook. Try to choose professional VCD/DVD tutorials. Be sure to practice mental methods and standardize actions. With the deepening of practice, you can appropriately increase the purchase of other yoga supplies. In short, the satisfaction rate will be greatly improved by insisting on measuring goods according to professional and environmental standards when purchasing.
Correct selection of yoga mat
When choosing a yoga mat, we should first pay attention to the material of the yoga mat and choose an environmentally friendly one. Yoga mats are currently made of TPE (also known as TPR), PVC and EVA. TPE is the best one at present. It is made of natural materials such as natural latex and hemp. It does not contain PVC and has no peculiar smell. It has the characteristics of softness, obedience and strong grip (more secure on any ground). Compared with the yoga mat made of PVC, it is about 300 grams lighter and easy to carry around.
Furthermore, a yoga mat with good elasticity is more protective to the human body. When you buy it, you can pinch it with your thumb and forefinger to test its pressure resistance. Generally beginners can choose a thicker summer sleeping mat, such as 6 mm thick, and the domestic size is173× 61; If there is a certain foundation, you can choose the thickness of 3.5 mm-5 mm; It is recommended to buy cushions above 1300g. The floor mat should not be too hard, and the requirements for non-slip are also very high. When buying, you can wet a small yoga mat, simulate the situation after sweating, and test its slippage. In addition, it is suggested that before buying a yoga mat, prepare an eraser and use it to rub the yoga mat to see if the material is easy to break.
Yoga mats need regular cleaning.
After you have your own yoga mat, you should not only take good care of it, but also wash it frequently. Xia, the founder of American Hange Mog yoga products, suggested in an interview with Yoga Magazine that it is best to clean it every other week to ensure hygiene.
Ordinary simple cleaning, you can put two glasses of water and four drops of detergent into the sprayer, spray the yoga mat, and then dry it with a dry cloth.
If the mat is dirty, you can wash it with washing powder water. Washing powder should be as little as possible, because any residue will make the yoga mat slippery in the future. Gently scrub the mat with a cloth soaked with washing powder water, then rinse it with clear water. Finally, roll up the yoga mat with a dry towel, absorb excess water and dry it.
