This kind of exercise can not only exercise the body but also adjust the mood. Because this kind of exercise with both form and spirit strengthens the brain and body, strengthens the connection between brain and body, enhances people's self-control ability and promotes physical and mental harmony.
Speaking of the connection between brain and body, it is necessary to remind friends who work out in the gym. You have time and perseverance to exercise. As long as the concept of "intentional exercise" is applied to fitness, better results will be achieved.
I often find some friends running on the treadmill, with dull eyes and sweating-I don't deny this fitness effect. But no matter what training you do, if your mind is blank or chaotic, your body is moving, but your spirit is not involved. They are doing some unconscious movements. Without control and consciousness, it is impossible to effectively establish the connection between brain and muscle.
Although physical exercise can make muscles "thicker", it is not necessarily "strong" or "flexible". Because the strength of muscle depends largely on how many "hard" instructions the brain reaches the muscle. Strength includes muscle strength and mental strength. Exercise, not only physical exercise, but also spiritual exercise! The combination of form and spirit is the combination of form and spirit.
This exercise is the healthiest.
Whether exercise is healthy is not the action, but the concept of exercise, and whether you follow the correct and healthy concept of exercise when doing this action-which is also the concept of exercise that I have always advocated.
Tai Ji Chuan is a good way to keep fit, but he is also practicing Tai Chi. Some people have a good fitness effect and are relaxed and handsome. Some people have little effect.
Those who get good grades are basically relaxed and happy, focused and fluent, and relaxed. When you observe intently, you always feel that there is an invisible force in their actions. They practice boxing, as if they are not exercising, but running the Force they can feel. There is always a charm in body movements, that is, harmony with each other, and a dignified "intentional movement" punch.
Some people, although their action standards are beautiful, always lack something between their hands and feet. Their spirit is also "focused". What they can pay attention to is whether the movements are correct and standard, and how people around them evaluate their "performance". Practicing Tai Chi is basically doing a "Tai Chi exercise" to exercise your hands and feet.
Whether it's Tai Chi, Qigong, running or mountain climbing. Most people who can concentrate on exercise have good results. They may not know the so-called harmony between spirit and form, but they are enjoying the exercise process and enjoying the sport. Those who are exercising but daydreaming abroad will definitely not get good results.
Some people go to the park to play Tai Ji Chuan every day, but in the second half, there will be a lot of distractions. I want to finish it quickly, what to buy for breakfast, and go home immediately to send my grandson to kindergarten. So although he works hard to exercise every day, he has little effect. Therefore, this book doesn't tell you more methods, but I mainly tell you the principle of this exercise. You just need to apply this principle to the exercise you are doing.
Please remember: it is good to practice the method without much, and it is advanced if it is difficult. If you are impetuous, it is useless to practice anything. As long as you are focused and have both form and spirit, even simple tossing can have good results.
Discount practice
A classmate told me that he keeps exercising every day, but his back pain and cervical hyperplasia are still not good. I asked him, "How many joints does a person have?" "There are shoulders, elbows, wrists, hips, knees, ankles, and countless small ones." "What joints do you usually exercise?"
He suddenly realized: "In fact, except for the knee joint and elbow joint, other joints have basically not moved." "Yes, just as we went to Shanghai by train from Beijing, compared with Beijing, we moved thousands of kilometers. But compared with the train, you haven't moved at all! So even if you exercise every day, your joints will not necessarily move! "
Not only this friend, as long as we observe carefully, we will find that many people's sports are discounted. Their movement is basically the movement of legs and feet, and the body moves as a whole with the movement of legs and feet-pay attention to exercise rather than exercise. The range of motion of main joints such as shoulders and waist and hip is very small, and the joints of spine and small joints on hands and feet can basically be said to be motionless! The human limbs and trunk are connected by joints, and the movement of joints is directly related to the circulation of qi and blood in the whole body.
Of course, life lies in exercise, as long as exercise can strengthen heart and lung function and activate qi and blood. However, it is necessary to learn reasonable exercise and effectively move all joints from head to toe, especially cervical vertebrae, thoracic vertebrae, lumbar vertebrae, shoulders, waist and hips, fingers and toes.
There is a spinal cord in the spine, belonging to the central nervous system. Needless to say, practitioners since ancient times, especially Indian yoga, have attached great importance to the exercise of the spine. The cervical vertebra and shoulder joint connect the trunk with the head and upper limbs, and the blood circulation here is of great significance to keep the head healthy.
The waist and buttocks are connected with the trunk and lower limbs, and loosening the waist is extremely important for Tai Chi or gossip. Adequate circulation of qi and blood in waist and hip is extremely beneficial to the whole body health.
Fingers and toes are the two ends of the body. According to the theory of traditional Chinese medicine, meridians are connected with viscera and limbs, that is to say, each meridian is connected with limbs through the external branches of viscera. The meridians in the body are interrelated, while the hand and fingers are the intersection of the three yin meridians of the hand and the three yang meridians of the hand, and the feet and toes are the intersection of the three yin meridians of the foot and the three yang meridians of the foot. So the movement of fingers and toes can affect the qi and blood of the whole body. Therefore, while doing big exercises, we must not ignore the exercise of fingers and toes.
