The former is a method of crawling alternately with both hands and knees on the ground, which is characterized by raising your head and five fingers off the ground, and separating your arms with shoulder width. The latter is a method of crawling on the ground with two hands and two feet alternately, which is characterized by raising your head, touching the ground with five fingers apart, your arms are shoulder width apart, your feet touching the ground are about one and a half shoulders apart, and your knees are slightly flexed. The latter is more operable.
Second, the four benefits of crawling fitness
1, Yitong
China Fitness Network also mentioned that crawling fitness is a whole-body exercise, which is very consistent with the overall concept of Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine faces up to the whole body. When crawling, qi can reach all parts of the body through movement, especially the limbs. Therefore, it is very useful for diseases such as lumbar spondylosis, lumbar muscle strain, various neck, shoulder and spine diseases, and it also has a certain curative effect on crawling.
2. Interest flow
When the human body is upright, to promote the circulation of qi and blood, it is necessary to overcome the influence of gravity of blood, and the burden on the heart will be heavy; Moreover, when people are upright, the lower limbs are mainly mobile, and the qi and blood will drop more, and the qi and blood of the heart and its upper organs will decrease. Compared with this, when crawling, the position of the heart and its above parts decreases, which is beneficial to the circulation of qi and blood throughout the body and has positive significance for the prevention and treatment of heart disease.
3. Good for the brain
When people crawl, their heads often droop and their blood volume increases accordingly, so it is very beneficial to brain health.
4. One strong
Crawling also has many benefits to other systems of the whole body: crawling can make the body stronger, because it is a coordinated flow of the whole body, and the muscles, ligaments, bones and even meridians of the whole body should join in the exercise; Crawling can also make bones harder, reduce bone looseness and make joints softer; Crawling can benefit muscles, making them more tense and elastic, more developed and able to contract freely; Crawling is certainly good aerobic exercise. When the arm is stretched forward and the diaphragm is pulled open, a lot of oxygen will be inhaled. When the lower limbs move upward, the diaphragm will be compressed, prompting a large amount of carbon dioxide to be discharged from the lungs. Crawling promotes the coordination of respiratory function, inhalation and exhalation. You can adjust your body by moving when crawling. The faster you climb, the more you breathe deeply. If you come to Xi 'an for fitness, you might as well try it.
