Most parts of our country are accustomed to "count nine" from the winter solstice, and every nine days is a small section, which is divided into nine hundred and eighty-one days.
There is a folk ballad: 19 and 29 do not shoot, 39 and 49 walk on the ice, 59 and 69 look at the willows along the river, 79 rivers open, 89 swallows come, 99 plus 19 ploughing cattle go everywhere.
As the saying goes: the coldest is no more than three or nine days. The cold winter of Sanjiu is the coldest time of the year, and in the coldest time, people's qi and blood circulation is the worst, so it is necessary to move the muscles and bones to open up the qi and blood.
As the old saying goes, people want to practice in winter, so how to move their muscles and bones?
Please see the recommendation of senior yoga teacher Mi Luo - winter practice "Sanjiu": dispelling wind and dissipating cold exercise
[Action 1] Lie down, first bend your right leg, hold your right knee with both hands, and press your right thigh with both hands to keep it close to your lower abdomen. Keep your head on your knees as best you can. The back knee socket of the left leg is fully pressed down on the ground, and the toes are hooked back. Leave on for 1 minute.
【Movement 2】After the action is done, open the handle, let the legs bend, the heels are as inward as possible, the feet are shoulder-width apart, and the hands are down to the floor, and then the spine is like a bead, leaving the floor section by section, first let the tailbone drive the lumbar vertebrae, lift up section by section, push the force on both feet, slowly raise the hips, hold for 15~30 seconds (clench your teeth, don't open your mouth), Then slowly lower the spine one by one.
Efficacy: Dispels cold in joints and back, and improves kidney qi. Friends with lumbar muscle strain and old cold waist must practice!
【Movement 3】It doesn't look difficult at all to hold 1~2 books (1 thick book) between your knees, but the key is to hold the time, at least 10 minutes.
The weakest muscles are all on the inside of the body, and the three major meridians of the liver, spleen, and kidney are also on the inside of the legs. Sandwich a book between your legs, and your legs have an inward force, which can well exercise the muscles and meridians on the inner side of your knees, and is very effective in the prevention and treatment of old cold legs~
The old people all say that "summer practice three dogs, winter practice three nine", this is the key moment to strengthen exercise and improve physical fitness. The colder it gets, the more important it is to increase the heat by exercising to protect against the cold.
On the basis of paying attention to keeping warm, practice a warm exercise every day, your body's immunity will become very good, and the quality of sleep will also improve.
