With the present conditions, square dance is the most suitable.
Although we have been promoting national fitness for many years, it has achieved little. Think about where middle-aged and elderly people can go to exercise now.
We have a lot of community outdoor fitness equipment donated by sports lottery, but these equipment look like a joke, and many community equipment is broken and no one maintains it. Regardless of whether these devices are suitable for scientific training, even if middle-aged and elderly people are going to do fitness exercises on them, who will guide them? Therefore, there are actually few places suitable for exercise.
Square dance is easy to get started.
Don't think that square dance is just some aunts doing broadcast gymnastics. In fact, according to the age, hobbies and education level of the square dance group, many national dances, modern dances and even ballet and Beijing opera movements are also integrated into it.
Just like other sports, square dance has simple steps and complicated steps, and all styles have simple and complicated movements, so it is easy for people without exercise foundation to get started.
Square dance has a complete teaching.
In fact, some videos of square dance can be found on many mainstream video websites. These videos are well explained, and some of them have shots to explain the action. The quality of some videos is much higher than that of fitness videos spread on Weibo WeChat, and they are constantly updated. Not only dances, but also teaching versions of square dances can be found in many popular songs.
Because the square dance is simple and complicated, and has simple and complete teaching, it is very complete as far as an overall sports system is concerned.
Square dance is a very safe sport.
Aside from the venue, smog and other factors, square dance is absolutely safe, perhaps because of years of experience and patience, middle-aged and elderly people are more patient and careful in sports.
I have observed many middle-aged and elderly people dancing square dance in different areas of Tianjin. Most of them can choose songs and dance difficulty step by step, which is almost equivalent to doing reasonable warm-up and dynamic stretching. The difficulty of the dance is pyramid-shaped, and finally there are finishing exercises.
And even with the same song, the difficulty of dancing between the older group and the younger group is very different. A set of dance moves almost covers the whole body, including some stretching and stretching movements.
Therefore, as a sport suitable for middle-aged and elderly people, square dance, like other sports, can not only strengthen the body, prevent some metabolic diseases, but also be safer.
