Low-carbon yoga makes you fall in love with fitness
The Copenhagen Climate Conference set off a "low-carbon" craze. The news media talked about "low-carbon" in a long manner, and ordinary people talked about "low-carbon" in their spare time. The sports of health care friends are also blowing a "low-carbon" trend. Fewer people often drive small cars to yoga studios to practice yoga, and more people practice yoga at home; the sweating on the treadmill is gradually being replaced by outdoor running, mountain climbing, rope skipping, and badminton. The body must be strong and the environment must be improved. No one wants to drive a BMW to drink sewage and breathe dirty air. Then, come on, protect the environment from yourself, and let "low carbon" and fitness walk with us all the way throughout the New Year.

Yoga at home
Beauty Su is recognized as the number one beauty in our unit. Although she has become a wife and mother, her youth remains undiminished and her beauty remains. Not only does she have a beautiful face and a good temperament, but her skin is also extremely good. All the sisters asked for advice on maintenance tips, and she all low-key declared that she had no special maintenance, just practiced yoga.
"I used to drive a car to practice in a yoga studio. There were coaches there who could help correct my posture. It was more suitable for beginners. I chose yoga from 5 to 7 p.m., and had some milk and bread at 3 and 4 p.m., and drove straight to the yoga studio after work, so that I didn't even have time to pick up the child, let alone cook for him. The child often couldn't take care of it. Moreover, driving to the gym has increased carbon emissions and exhaust pollution after exercising, which has increased the burden on the environment. Recently, I have been practicing at home." Since Meiren Su practiced yoga at home, she can exercise without driving, and exercise without leaving her children. Fitness and emission reduction are both important, and the children can work together. It is a happy occasion for everyone.
Practicing yoga at home is suitable for basic practitioners. Buy a yoga mat of suitable thickness and softness online, spread it in the living room, turn on the CD, and follow the music to start practicing. As we all know, to practice yoga, you must remove all cumbersome accessories on your body, choose loose clothes, and practice on an empty stomach, so Sue chose to choose a quiet, comfortable, and ventilated living room to exercise before breakfast in the morning. Relax, stretch, meditate, and do whatever you want at home. Practice as long as you want, and feel at ease. After practice, you feel comfortable, reducing pressure and reducing emissions. Yoga requires practitioners to have a light daily diet, try to avoid greasy and spicy food, and preferably be original. This virtually reduces carbon emissions in all aspects of food and truly achieves "low-carbon" fitness.

square jumping exercise
In the square, the music is played enthusiastically or softly, and a large group of people are dancing hot. Dance exercises are not only easy to adhere to, but also very "low-carbon".
When I was practicing Tai Chi with a large group of uncles and aunties, I was attracted by the rhythm of the crowd dancing during the break. I saw that Meimei Zhang, who is famous for her good wife and mother, also left her children at home and ran to the square to dance gymnastics. It seems that she has a beautiful figure and a beautiful woman!
Looking at the aunties whose ages were unknown dancing with high spirits and excellent figures, I couldn't help but feel the charm of a dance exercise with the guilt of betraying the Tai Chi master's mother. At first, I couldn't keep up. I used my spirit of being deaf and not afraid of thunder, and risked the risk of "thunder" knocking down a large number of onlookers, I also jumped up step by step. I turned back and forth, raised my hands, lifted my feet, shook my hands, twisted my waist, jumped, and followed with each movement without any other. The "audience" was not knocked down by the thunder, but I was so tired that I was about to fall down. I didn't expect jumping exercises to consume so much energy! In such cold weather, Tai Chi only sweats slightly, but he sweats profusely when dancing. But it was really fun after dancing.
One of them told me that I was rehearsing every day to prepare for the competition. This dance united the neighbors and enhanced the honor. It was really harmonious. "For those of us who have been at our desks for a long time, jumping more can effectively prevent cervical spondylosis. I often sit in front of the computer and have a sore neck. When doing exercises, there are some movements that relax nerves and relieve the pressure on my neck. After dancing, my whole body is very relaxed, and I sweat all over my body and get rid of poison. I go home and take a shower. It's very comfortable and good for my skin." Watching her talk endlessly, I feel ashamed of my superficial prejudice that "dancing gymnastics is all entertainment for aunts" in the past.
Jumping exercises really exercise the body, detoxify and beautify the skin. Besides, music makes me feel good, a good figure creates beauty and confidence, and people also look young. Looking at the large jumping backs in the square, I secretly want to bring a pair of sneakers tomorrow and do Tai Chi. Dance the exercises again.

Balcony rope skipping
Yoga requires professional study first, while rope skipping can be self-taught by everyone. It is simple, convenient and suitable for all ages. Go to a sports goods store and buy a rope for skipping rope. You can practice it from primary school students to the elderly. There is no time limit or venue limitation. There is no need to pay attention to skills, rules, and how to jump as you please. There is no carbon emission throughout the process and it is absolutely environmentally friendly. Rope skipping is an energy-intensive aerobic exercise. It is said to enhance the functions of the human body's cardiovascular, respiratory and nervous systems, prevent diabetes, arthritis, obesity, osteoporosis, hypertension, muscle atrophy, hyperlipidemia, and relax. Long-term persistence has curative effects on treating menopausal syndrome, insomnia, depression, etc., and is healthy and environmentally friendly.
You don't need an atmosphere or a sparring partner, you can do it yourself; you don't need to go out or equipment, you can do it with a rope. This kind of fitness is really a boon for lazy people like me. The small balcony is my stage. I jump forward and backward. I can also cross my hands and throw tricks. I occasionally imagine the rope as a gymnastics ribbon. I have passed the addiction of a gymnastics star. I make the decisions about my territory, entertain myself and enjoy myself. Self-satisfaction, wonderful.
You can choose the venue for skipping rope freely, and you can make full use of the floor and balcony at home; you can control the duration by yourself, and you can jump for 3 or 30 minutes at your disposal. It can also drive children and the whole family to get out of health together. Why not? However, skipping rope consumes a lot of energy after all, and it needs to be done step by step. It is still a little tiring at the beginning of practice and cannot be forced to persist. The duration of a single session depends on the individual's physical fitness. If you feel it is very difficult, you have to rest. Generally, jumping for 10 minutes to half an hour is almost enough. Children and the elderly with poor physical fitness can shorten the time appropriately and try to control it to 3-5 minutes. If the floor and balcony at home are made of marble or cement, it will be hard. It is best to put a soft cushion on it to increase elasticity and protect the soles of feet and ankles. Before jumping, you must make preparatory movements, just like the preparatory movements before physical education in school, and move your hands and feet joints. When jumping, your movements must also be coordinated at a speed and have a sense of rhythm. You must not be fast and slow. (Internship Editor: Yan Lili)
