What do you do in the morning?

Morning exercises are not just for middle-aged and elderly people. As a member of a family, you also need to have a healthy body to treat your family well, and you need to strengthen your body and increase your vitality through proper exercise. I believe that many people have the habit of morning exercises for the sake of their health, but there are many things to pay attention to when exercising in the early morning. If we do not pay attention to some related matters, our exercise may be greatly reduced. So what are the specific precautions?

Here are some recommended morning exercises for you:

Jogging + Qigong

Move your hands and feet before running, shake your arms, stretch your legs, and turn your waist. The running distance can be determined according to your own situation and objective conditions. You can also run with high legs in place outdoors or use a street treadmill.

You can practice aerobic breathing qigong by walking around to relax your body and taking deep breaths: spread your legs at shoulder level, close your eyes and relax your whole body, inhale into the abdomen, and hold your breath for 10 seconds to move the qi from the dantian through the chest, throat, uvula, back of the head to the lumbar spine, and then slowly exhale the gas in the body. Repeat this cycle for 20 to 30 minutes.

Skipping rope + doing exercises

Jumping rope can promote blood circulation, supply more oxygen and nutrients to the brain, play a role in dredging blood vessels, strengthening the brain and warming the internal organs, and improve thinking and imagination abilities. Jump rope for 15 minutes, and the purpose of doing exercises is to calm the emotions and exercise the muscles of all parts of the body, so it should also take 15 minutes.

Cycling

Riding a bicycle to work is also a good exercise! Have you ever tried jogging or walking to work? If the office is close to home. Put a leather suit in the office, put on sportswear and running shoes and be active on the road. This is the most popular work song for white-collar workers in the world.

Here are some things to note when doing morning exercises.

Not suitable for fasting

The metabolism of the elderly is slow, blood flow is relatively slow in the morning, and blood pressure and body temperature are low. Before morning exercise, you should drink some hot drinks, such as milk, egg soup, etc., to replenish water, increase calories and accelerate blood circulation.

Not too early

The temperature is often lower in the morning. If the elderly go out too early, they will be suddenly exposed to the cold and easily catch a cold. Some elderly people with chronic diseases are more likely to have their conditions aggravated.

It is not advisable to take a nap

People usually feel tired after morning exercises. Some people think that going to bed to "catch up on sleep" after morning exercises is a good combination of work and rest. In fact, doing so will not only affect the effectiveness of morning exercises, but is also not good for your health.

Don't rush

After getting up in the morning, the muscles are relaxed and the joint ligaments are stiff, so before exercising, you should gently move the joints, twist your waist, and relax your muscles to avoid accidents caused by excessive movements.

The editor would like to remind everyone that in the cold winter, for morning outdoor activities, you should choose places such as wilderness and parks that are sheltered from the wind, sunny, warm, quiet, and have fresh air. Do not run against the wind, do not take off your clothes for activities, and do not take off your clothes to exercise. After sweating, never take off your clothes and let the cold wind blow directly at you. Eating immediately after morning exercise can easily lead to gastrointestinal diseases such as indigestion.
