What are the warm-up exercises?

Fitness exercise has become a favorite form of exercise for everyone nowadays. This exercise is not only simple, but also the whole process is not complicated. We can practice it by just moving our hands and feet. Next, I will introduce a set of warm-up exercises. This set of exercises is not only simple in method, but also the whole process is not complicated. So what are the specific movements?

Calisthenics

The so-called freehand exercises are to practice the flute without holding the flute. Generally, you can practice before a performance or at night when you are afraid of disturbing others. Freehand exercises are divided into four parts: breath exercises, lip exercises, tongue exercises, and finger exercises. Breath, lips, tongue, and fingers are the four major elements that determine the level of flute playing. Here are some introductions:

1. Qi exercises

Keep your feet slightly apart, about shoulder-width apart. Place your hands on both sides of your thighs and relax your whole body. First, inhale for eight beats until you can't inhale anymore, then exhale for sixteen beats, exhaling all the air you inhaled. Repeat this cycle of inhaling and exhaling, eight to sixteen times a day. Keep doing it, and it will greatly benefit the growth of your breath.

2. Lip exercises

Sometimes in winter, many people will have chapped lips, which can easily make the blown air unstable and sound weird. You can practice the following method to prevent chapped lips and increase your lip control ability.

(1) Press your upper and lower lips together and close them together. Then move your lips forward and backward. Repeat this cycle for two eight-beats or sixteen eight-beats.

(2) Use the teeth of the lower jaw to scrape the upper lip, and then use the teeth of the upper jaw to scrape the lower lip.

(3) Close your lips, inflate your mouth, and then inhale, repeating the process.

3. Tongue exercises

Chant "De Ge De Ge" at a rate of 270 times per minute. Beginners who cannot meet this requirement can slow down the pace appropriately. Then retract your tongue at the same speed and say “du gu du gu”. After you become proficient in the practice, you can also alternate between the above methods and chant “De Ge De Ge Du Gu Du Gu” at a rate of 135 times per minute. To enhance the flexibility of the tongue.

4 Finger Exercises

Among the four exercises, finger exercises are the most practiced. Sometimes in winter we feel our fingers are stiff and inflexible. At this time, we can put the palms of our hands together, clamp them between our legs and rub them against each other, which can effectively relieve the stiffness of the fingers. You can also massage the back of your right hand with the palm of your left hand, and then massage the back of your left hand with the palm of your right hand.

The set of warm-up exercises introduced above is very simple. You only need to move your mouth, body and arms during the whole process. Especially in the cold winter, you often feel your body stiff and inflexible, and you wear more clothes. We can practice it indoors, and exercising once a week can also increase body heat.
