Chinese gymnastics: restore flexibility to your body

You've probably noticed that over time our body loses its flexibility and ease of movement. Some movements that were once easy and effortless can now be challenging. If you want to return your body to its former flexibility and lightness, then Chinese gymnastics, based on imitation of animal movements, can help you.

The Chinese believe that gymnastics plays an important role in improving health and is enjoyable. They have developed many exercises that imitate the movements of animals performed during games. These exercises help improve body flexibility, strengthen muscles, increase blood flow to all organs and improve overall well-being.

Bear

One of the most popular exercises in Chinese gymnastics is the “Bear” exercise. To perform this exercise, you need to stand on all fours, resting your full palms and all your feet on the surface. Then begin to move in this position, taking steps with your left hand and left foot, and then with your right hand and right foot. When performing the exercise, the head should be lowered and the body should be relaxed. Take four steps with each hand and foot forward, and then back up.

This exercise is beneficial for the abdominal and leg muscles, promotes the removal of salts from the body and increased blood supply to all organs. If it is difficult to move in this position, you can first practice a stationary stance, and then start moving.

Sparrow

Another interesting exercise is the “Sparrow” exercise. To perform it, you need to bend forward, put your hands on your knees or hips, bend your knees slightly and raise your head. In this pose, do light small jumps forward. Land on your toes and throw your arms back. This exercise resembles the jumping of a sparrow. Try jumping like this for 10 minutes.

Big panda

The "Giant Panda" exercise will help eliminate excess fat deposits and improve blood supply to the spine. To perform it, you need to sit on the floor, pull your legs to your chest and clasp them with your arms. Begin to slowly lean back, trying to maintain balance, and when your back approaches the floor, return to the starting position in one fell swoop. When performing the exercise, breathing should be even and deep. Try to do 10-15 repetitions.

In addition to these exercises, various other exercises are used in Chinese gymnastics, including the Dragon, Chicken, Monkey and many others. Each exercise imitates the movements of animals and helps improve flexibility and coordination of the body.

Chinese gymnastics can also be very relaxing and calming. Some exercises, such as Pole Standing, are static and require a person to simply stand in one place for a period of time, focusing on their breathing and the sensation of their body.

Chinese gymnastics can be performed at any age and level of physical fitness. This can be a great way to improve your health and fitness, as well as reduce stress and tension in your life.
