Matters needing attention
Every time you squat for about 15 minutes or more, your eyes should be restrained, your mind should be absorbed, and you should concentrate on squatting, not thinking, and you should not talk to people or play mobile phones while squatting. In the process of squatting, it is the best effect for beggars to squat if they have gastrointestinal peristalsis such as burping and farting. If the polluted air drops, it will naturally fart. Don't bear it. It's normal for your feet to feel numb when squatting, but it won't be after a long time, and it will increase your strength and dredge the meridians. Squatting for fifteen minutes after meals, combined with slow menstruation, is very suitable for health preservation. This method is simple, but the effect is remarkable. The important thing is to stick to it and there will be miracles.
Toe squat
Put your feet on the ground and lift your heels off the ground. Bend your knees and press your thighs against your calves for 30 seconds-1min. When tiptoeing, the inside of the forefoot and the big toe of the foot play a supporting role, while the kidney meridian of foot shaoyin, liver meridian of foot jueyin and spleen meridian of foot taiyin pass through here, and stimulating the Yin San of foot can warm and tonify kidney yang. However, due to the difficulty of movement, if you persist for too long, half a minute is enough to avoid strain or cramp.
Squat in lunge
The exerciser steps out with his left foot, touches the ground with his right foot squatting on his toes, and lunges with his legs. Put your weight between your feet and change your left and right feet every 30 seconds.
Hip is the main switch of the six meridians in the leg, and it is also a bridge connecting qi and blood in the upper jiao and qi and blood in the lower jiao. It is the most vulnerable to cold, dampness and blood stasis, which can be said to be the biggest poison nest of the human body. Once the toxin accumulates too much, it may lead to cold hands and feet, menstrual blood clots, uterine fibroids, and even infertility and early menopause. When lunging, it will be applied to the buttocks muscles, thus achieving the effect of detoxification of the buttocks.
Squat against the wall
Lean on the back of the chair with your back and yogurt sacrum, and don't cover your hips below your knees. Stay still after squatting. The practice time can be gradually extended, preferably 2-4 minutes, which can protect the knee joint.
Tips:
Squat should adopt the correct way of exercise. The wrong way to exercise may hurt your knees. When squatting, the correct mode should be to bend the hip joint first, then bend the knee joint, and finally reach the ankle joint extension. In short, move your ass first, then bend your knees. The action of squatting should be to feel sitting down, not kneeling down!
