6 "self-torture" fitness methods are surprisingly effective

1. Inverted fitness method

Headstand has always been a method for monks throughout the ages to improve their health and mind. Medical experts believe that people who stand frequently are more likely to suffer from prolapse of internal organs, hemorrhoids, insufficient blood supply to the brain, low back disease, swollen feet and other diseases.

Proper inverted exercises can prevent various illnesses caused by standing. At the same time, it can improve blood circulation, clear the brain, enhance the function of internal organs, and have a fitness effect of relaxing the body.

2. Backwards walking fitness method

From the perspective of modern sports science, backward walking has many benefits. One is that it can prevent hunchback, especially for growing teenagers. If you do backward walking exercises regularly, you can keep the waist muscles rhythmically tightening and relaxing, thereby improving blood circulation in the waist, organizing metabolism, and preventing and treating functional low back pain.

Second, it can increase the bearing capacity of the knee joint and exercise the muscles and ligaments of the knee. Third, when walking backwards, you should practice direction, master balance, exercise the cerebellum which is responsible for balance, and increase and improve body flexibility and coordination function.

3. Barefoot walking fitness method

There are early records of physical therapy using barefoot walking, and there is also a theory of "plantar reflexology" today. Since the soles of the feet have sensory areas connected to the internal organs, walking barefoot can allow the plantar muscle fascia, ligaments, acupoints and nerve endings to come into contact with the sand, grass and uneven cobblestone surface of the ground as much as possible.

In this way, the sensitive areas are stimulated, transmitting signals to the corresponding internal organs and related cerebral cortex, and then to the effector organs, thereby regulating the functions of various parts of the human body, and ultimately achieving the miraculous effects of strengthening the body, rehabilitation, disease prevention and auxiliary treatment.

4. Crawling Fitness

Practice has proved that crawling can facilitate blood circulation and disperse the body weight to the limbs, thereby greatly reducing the burden on the lumbar spine. If you do crawling exercises for a certain period of time every day, it can have a therapeutic and fitness effect on the symptoms of cardiovascular diseases and various spinal and lumbar diseases.

5. Walking in the rain

Compared to walking on a sunny day, walking in the rain has special fitness benefits. The basis for this is that a large amount of negative oxygen ions are produced when it rains, which can make people feel relaxed and happy, help regulate nerves and eliminate depression. Moreover, the gentle massage of the face and skin by the drizzle can enhance the body's resilience to the external environment.

6. Hanging exercise

American orthopedic expert Martin lets patients hook their feet on single or double bars or other fixed frames, hanging them upside down, to treat low back pain, leg pain, sciatica, arthritis, etc., and achieves satisfactory results.

When the human body stands upright, due to the influence of the earth's gravity, the lumbar spine and lower joints are under pressure, which will cause back pain and leg pain over time. Hanging upside down can fully relax the waist, legs and joints, eliminate body stress, and thus can cure diseases and improve health.
