Explanation of belly dance for pregnant women

In the impression of ordinary people, pregnant women should be "not suitable for anything": no strenuous exercise, no dietary taboos, no travel ... But there is a mother-to-be in Nanping who not only did a lot of things that were "not suitable" for pregnant women during pregnancy, but also boarded the stage of Mamma Mia on Oriental TV with an eight-month-old belly, and showed a beautiful and hot belly dance, which surprised many judges and audiences and successfully won.

Yesterday, our reporter interviewed Lu Lingxi, a "hot mom" who just finished recording the program, and listened to her talk about her "crazy" pregnancy experience.

Pregnant women who are "too restless"

"We are hot moms in the new era, and we must have our own personality." Lu Lingxi, who is already in the third trimester, said with a smile. This young mommy, born in xx, is a famous belly dance teacher in Nanping. She founded two belly dance yoga clubs of her own, and everyone who knows her well calls her "Xiaoxi".

Speaking of her pregnancy experience, Xiaoxi's self-evaluation is "too tossing". She and her husband have been in love for six years. This is their first baby, which is an unexpected product and a surprise. "Because of my loose personality, I didn't even know for three months, and I still insisted on high-intensity dance teaching for nearly three hours every day." In this way, unconsciously, she spent the most unstable and dangerous first three months. Later, she noticed that her menstrual period was wrong, and finally found herself "winning the prize" in hindsight. When her husband learned that she was pregnant for three months, his first reaction was not surprise, but fear-you were still jumping when you were pregnant! After that, her husband took her to the hospital. Fortunately, the baby is safe and sound.

Perhaps because of long-term exercise, Xiaoxi had almost no pregnancy reaction during the whole pregnancy, so that she often forgot that she was a "running with the ball". One day when she was six months pregnant, she was waiting for the bus on the roadside and saw the bus ready to leave. In desperation, she chased after running all the way until the driver asked her, "Girl, do you dare to run with such a big belly?" She didn't react. "I forgot I was pregnant ..."

Looking back on her pregnancy trip, Xiaoxi felt incredible-she went to Fuzhou for oriental dance training in March, still taught belly dance in April, traveled to Shanghai, Japan and South Korea in May, studied makeup techniques in Beijing in June, auditioned for Mamma Mia in July and recorded Mamma Mia in August.

"Because, I am a crazy expectant mother in the' new era'!" She said with a smile.

Sparkling hot mom

My participation in Mamma Mia was purely accidental. This year 1 month, the audition of "Mamma Mia" Xiamen recruitment station began. When Xiaoxi heard from a friend who is also a belly dance coach, she was really moved and asked this friend to go to Xiamen together. At that time, she was pregnant for more than seven months.

"I just want to take my gourd doll around." Passing the audition is an unexpected thing for Xiaoxi. She said, "Huluwa" is her nickname for the baby in her belly. Since she had fetal movement and danced, she could clearly feel the "gourd baby" jumping in her stomach. "I can proudly tell Huluwa that my mother took you on the stage of Mamma Mia!"

After returning, Xiaoxi carefully prepared the rematch program. On February 15, she rushed to Shanghai to show a "surprise".

Xiaoxi, dressed as Barbie, walked onto the stage and performed a short ballet, and the drums became urgent. She tore off the silk scarf, exposed her abdomen, showed a professional belly dance, raised her hand and twisted her hips ... The audience was in an uproar, and Cheng Lei and others repeatedly exclaimed: "Wow, my God!" "It's incredible!"

After the performance, the three judges were still amazed. Cheng Lei's first comment: "You are a double belly dancer!" Venus also cooed, "It's beautiful! It's beautiful! " She said that belly dancing was originally a seductive dance, but Xiaoxi's performance made people feel a sacred power.

At the end of the review, three judges, including Huang Shujun, gave the green light. Huang Shujun encouraged Xiaoxi: "I hope to see a different performance in the final." . Huang Shujun's words moved Xiaoxi's mind. The final is held in June. "At that time,' Cucumber Baby' was born." She decided to put "Gourd Baby" on the stage. As for the specific stage effect, she sold a pass: "You just wait and see!"

Can pregnant women do belly dancing?

It is very important for pregnant women to warm up before belly dancing and relax after exercise, because during pregnancy, pregnant women's bones and connective tissues will become loose and joints will be easily injured. Exercise can raise the temperature of the mother and fetus at the same time, but because the fetus can't dissipate heat by itself, it must rely entirely on the adjustment ability of the mother. Therefore, pregnant women should avoid keeping themselves or their fetus in a hot environment all the time, and they should not jump to exhaustion when dancing belly dance. If they feel tired, they should stop immediately. Doctors believe that you can't do strenuous and jumping movements during pregnancy, but you can still do some soothing movements. As long as it does not cause muscle fatigue, there is no problem, but it must be carried out under the guidance of professionals.

Seven kinds of exercises suitable for pregnant women

Walking: For mom, walking is the best exercise to enhance cardiovascular function. Walking can keep you healthy without spraining your knees and ankles. You can walk almost anywhere. You don't need any equipment except a pair of shoes that fit you. It's safe to walk during pregnancy.

Swimming: Health care workers and fitness experts agree that swimming is the best and safest exercise during pregnancy. Swimming can exercise large muscle groups (arm and leg muscles), which is also good for the cardiovascular system, and it can make more and more expectant mothers feel less heavy in the water.

Low-intensity aerobics: One advantage of taking aerobics class is that you can keep regular exercise at a fixed time. If you attend the special course for expectant mothers, you can fully enjoy the wonderful time of exchanging feelings with other expectant mothers. You can rest assured that every movement taught here is safe for you and your baby.

Dancing: Dancing can promote the blood circulation of the body. You can dance to your favorite music in the comfortable living room at home, or you can take a dance class, but avoid jumping or spinning.

Yoga: Yoga can keep your muscles tense, make your body more flexible, and have little joint stress. But you may need to take a walk or swim several times a week while practicing yoga to strengthen your heart.

Stretching: Stretching can keep the body flexible and relaxed and prevent muscle strain. You can combine stretching exercise with exercise to enhance cardiovascular function, so that the body can get comprehensive exercise.

Weight training: If weight training is part of your regular exercise, there is no need to stop after pregnancy, but most pregnant women should reduce the negative weight of training (you can ensure enough exercise by increasing the number of repetitions). As long as necessary protective measures and reasonable skills (slow and controlled movements) are taken, weight-bearing training is a good way to strengthen and exercise muscles. However, this training method is best approved by your health care doctor and carried out under the guidance of a professional coach.

How do pregnant women exercise?

1, be sure to warm up.

Expectant mothers will relax their muscles and joints because of hormonal changes. If they don't do warm-up exercises well, it is easy to cause muscle and joint strain during exercise.

Therefore, you must do warm-up exercises before exercise to avoid cramps.

2. Wear sports clothes

Sportswear often has the function of absorbing sweat and dissipating heat, which can avoid the discomfort caused by non-sweat-absorbing materials to the skin, and elastic sportswear is also beneficial to the activity and stretching of the body.

3. Exercise intensity should be appropriate.

During exercise, the heart rate should be within 140 times per minute. If it exceeds this range, the blood flow of expectant mothers will be high, and the blood vessels may not be able to load.

4, each time should not exceed 15 minutes.

Most people need to exercise for more than 30 minutes to burn fat, but expectant mothers need a short rest after exercise 15 minutes. Even if their physical strength can be loaded, they must start exercising after a short rest. This is because expectant mothers must avoid overwork and rapid heartbeat, and the purpose of exercise during pregnancy is not to burn fat, but to exercise the muscle strength of the whole body, so expectant mothers should stop for a short rest every exercise 15 ~ 20 minutes.

5. Try to replenish water before, during and after exercise.

Replenishing water can not only avoid dehydration, but also control the rate of body temperature rise. Once the expectant mother's body temperature rises rapidly, the fetal heartbeat will also accelerate. Every time the expectant mother's body temperature rises by half a degree, the fetal heartbeat date will increase by 10 ~ 20, which increases the instability of the fetal condition. Therefore, expectant mothers must remember to replenish water before, during and after exercise.

6. Avoid jumping and shocking movements.

Vibration or jumping movements are easy to make the expectant mother's center of gravity unstable. If she slips or collides with an object, it will easily affect the fetus, causing contractions or water bursting, and even premature birth.

7. Avoid exercise when the weather is hot and muggy.

Doing exercise in excessively hot weather may make expectant mothers suffer from heatstroke. Xiao Wensheng pointed out that the most suitable temperature for exercise is about 26℃ ~ 27℃.

8. After 4 months of pregnancy, it is forbidden to do prone exercise.

After 4 months, the abdomen bulged obviously. In order to avoid oppressing the fetus, prone exercise should be prohibited.

9. Don't drink cola and juice during pregnancy.

Pregnant women should not be too tired when exercising. Pregnant women should never be overtired or exercise until their bodies are overheated, which means pregnant women should not do sweaty exercise. For pregnant women, the limit of exercise is not tired, relaxed and comfortable. In addition, pregnant women should drink more water during exercise, but don't just drink boiled water. Better add some juice. Coke and sports drinks are not suitable for pregnant women.
