Project. Choose square dance is not too blind, to understand their own physical condition, suitable for what kind of dance, do not blindly follow the imitation. Especially among the elderly, it is best to measure blood pressure and pulse,even if the blood pressure is within the normal range, you can avoid any difficulty or more than 2 hours of dancing. Usually you should start with simple movements, do not be in a hurry to achieve, just "move" up and make the body sweat a little, there will be a fitness effect.
Location. Many communities have established square dance training venues so that close participation is good without the "long trip" across the neighborhood. However, driveways are dusty and full of automobile fumes (including many carcinogens), and concrete or tile on curbs or in parks is too hard and may cause some damage to joints, making it unsuitable for use as an exercise area. It's best to choose a place with an open and fresh view and try to avoid windy spots. It is not too early to leave the sun, especially in hazy weather, after the fog has been removed and then start dancing, then again at 4:00-6:00 p.m., and in the evening should be 1 hour after dinner.
If to parks, forests, etc. as a place to practice, it is not appropriate to avoid "dancing with chickens ****" at night before a period of time and early in the morning when the sunrise, because the surrounding trees, plants and other plants do not have photosynthesis, a large amount of carbon dioxide emissions, resulting in a reduction of oxygen, is not conducive to health. The general principle is to adjust according to the changes in the season and the weather, so as not to be too large. This in addition, in the first two hours of sleep, do not carry out strenuous exercise, especially the elderly, because the bedtime time is relatively early, bedtime exercise will cause fatigue and insomnia, thus reducing the quality of sleep.
Then there is the dress. Square dancing, some people wear hard-soled shoes, slippers, some people wear tights, which is not conducive to health. Square dancing, although not a professional dance, is a full-body movement, and the frequency of leg and foot activities is also very high. Therefore, the shoes must be comfortable, soft-soled non-slip shoes are the best, good sneakers can also cushion the impact generated during the dance, the heart and brain to play a protective role. Wearing flip-flops poses a risk of falling, and hard-soled shoes can damage the legs with no cushioning. In pants, it is best to wear a pair of medium-thick cotton pants or sweatpants to make it more comfortable.
