So many people like to go to the gym, and everyone knows that they need to do some warm-up exercises before exercising. This is to better stretch the muscles of the whole body and avoid some injuries during exercise. It’s just that everyone always makes some misunderstandings when they understand it, so let’s find out what are the misunderstandings about warm-up exercises for fitness?

Only by mastering the freehand gymnastics movements correctly can you complete the aerobics movements in a coordinated and accurate manner. There are significant differences in the methods of performing freehand gymnastics and aerobics, which are mainly reflected in the rhythm of movements, direction of movement, route and shape. Aerobics movements have become more colorful due to the addition of new and unique hand and step shapes, especially hip movements.

The wave movement is a typical movement in rhythmic gymnastics. In addition, swinging, circling, flexion and extension, balance, turning, jumping, dancing steps and similar technical movements are also part of aerobics movements. The freehand exercises of rhythmic gymnastics can not only cultivate people's aesthetic appreciation of movements, but also effectively enhance physical fitness, improve coordination, and increase the difficulty value of complete sets of movements.

Misconception 1: Doing aerobics as a warm-up

Some yoga instructors use aerobics as a warm-up exercise before doing yoga. This is not advisable because the body is in an excited state after doing aerobics and cannot enter the meditative state required by yoga.

In addition, the excitement of the body after aerobics can easily lead to overly rapid yoga movements, causing various strains. In regular yoga classes, "Sun Salutation" is usually used as a preparatory movement to make the joints and muscles more relaxed and soft.

Misconception 2: Practicing exercises at home

Many yoga enthusiasts prefer to practice movements at home according to tutorials such as CDs or books because they do not have time to go to the training ground or for other reasons. In this regard, Ling Hong, a coach at a bodybuilding club in Foshan, pointed out that this method is not advisable, especially for beginners.

Aerobics is a good fitness program to control rapid weight gain after middle age. The aerobics popular at home and abroad can be roughly divided into six categories: aerobics series compiled for different ages; aerobics for men and women compiled for different genders; individual, double and group aerobics compiled according to the number of people; aerobics for shaping the body and improving posture and body shape; aerobics for exercising all parts of the body; aerobics with bare hands or light equipment.

After reading the above introduction, we have clearly understood the misunderstandings about warm-up exercises for fitness. In fact, during our exercise process, we always fall into many misunderstandings due to lack of understanding. At this time, the misunderstandings are not serious and do not harm the body. But once it becomes serious, it can be very harmful so everyone must pay attention.
