As an indoor exercise, the fitness routine is very popular among women, because not only can it mobilize all the muscles in our body to get a full workout, but it can also shape the body and make our figure more curvaceous. In fact, it is not just that, the fitness routine is also very beneficial to our physical health. Let me introduce the fitness routine to you below.
Six exercises of the fitness routine help you lower blood pressure and keep fit
The first exercise: Tapping the ear
Place both hands on the ears and press the ears at the same time, doing eight eight-beat cycles. It can keep people with good hearing and can also unblock the meridians. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the shape of the ear is like an inverted fetus with the head down and the feet up. Its acupoints correspond to all the five internal organs and six bowels in the body. Tapping the ear can also be said to be a whole-body nourishment.
The second exercise: Combing the head
According to traditional Chinese medicine, the head is the 'confluence of all Yang' and the 'abode of clear Yang', and it is also the place where the marrow sea is located. All the essence blood of the five internal organs and the clear Yang Qi of the six bowels can be infused into the head. Every day, separate the ten fingers to replace the comb, and comb the head from front to back for eight eight-beat cycles, which can help lower blood pressure, dispel wind, invigorate the brain, and prevent and treat headaches.
The third exercise: Clacking teeth
Clacking teeth is to bite without food, and gently tap the teeth every morning, which can make the teeth stronger, and it is enough to do eight eight-beat cycles. Many elderly people do not pay attention to tooth loss, but in fact, a set of good teeth is very important for the elderly. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the spleen and stomach are the root of postnatal life. After the elderly lose their teeth, their diet is affected, leading to phenomena such as partial eating, resulting in malnutrition, which ultimately affects their physical health.
The fourth exercise: Neck rotation
It is enough to rotate the neck clockwise and counterclockwise for eight cycles each day, without going too fast or too wide, and it is better to be slow. The carotid artery is an important channel for the heart to reach the brain and other major blood vessels in the head. Many elderly people have carotid artery stenosis, which is prone to cause strokes and other diseases. Rotating the neck can not only activate the carotid artery blood vessels but also the cervical vertebrae, which also has a certain preventive effect on cervical spondylosis.
The fifth exercise: Leg stretching
Leg stretching can warm up the body, and it can also stretch the tendons and bones. Stretching the legs on both sides can also enhance the coordination of the whole body. Each day, stretch the legs in a clockwise and counterclockwise direction for four eight-beat cycles, totaling 32 times, which has a significant effect on preventing falls and sprains.
The sixth exercise: Squatting
Old age first affects the legs, squatting and jumping can strengthen the lower body and promote blood circulation in the lower limbs. Ruan Guozhi used to do indoor squatting and jumping 20 to 30 times a day, but now that he is older, he has not given up, he has just changed it to squatting.
