When squatting, the two largest joints of the body, the knee joint and the hip joint, bend to the maximum extent. Each joint hardly bears the weight of the body, but the muscles of the trunk can move. Therefore, people might as well squat at home or at an appropriate time. Every day, stand on the ground, stand with your feet together, squat slightly, tuck your knees with your hands, turn clockwise for 36 times, then turn counterclockwise for 36 times, and do it twice. This can not only regulate the whole body qi and blood and metabolism, but also enhance the strength of knee joint and leg muscles, and has obvious effects on preventing and treating knee joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, varicose veins of lower limbs and calf cramps.
In addition, we should pay attention to breathing coordination during the whole exercise process, avoid squatting and jumping, and prevent head ischemia. Patients with severe heart disease should consult a specialist before exercise and choose exercise intensity according to their physical condition.
Old people with poor legs and knees should squat step by step. At first, you can only bend your knees, and gradually squat down to the middle. You can also do it by holding desks, chairs and walls. It is best to be accompanied by your family during the exercise.
