Fitness instructors answer yoga hot questions

Reporter: Is there any age limit for hot yoga practitioners?

VJ: There are no special restrictions. As long as they are healthy and people without diseases can practice hot yoga.

Reporter: Who is not suitable for practicing hot yoga?

VJ: People with heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes, recovering from a serious illness or weak constitution are not suitable for practice. For beginners, if you feel uncomfortable in this high temperature environment, such as excessive sweating, dehydration, nausea, excessive fatigue, abdominal pain and other symptoms, you can go out to rest and breathe at any time. If you have the above diseases, it is not suitable for practicing hot yoga.

Reporter: What are the precautions for practicing hot yoga?

VJ: You cannot eat before practicing hot yoga. Generally, you eat meat with higher calories, and you are required to practice three hours after eating. If you eat food with lower calories, you must also ensure that you can practice after one and a half hours after eating.

In addition, because the high temperature environment of hot yoga has exceeded the normal temperature of the human body, beginners may feel dizzy, which is normal.

You should drink 500 ml of water before practicing hot yoga. During exercise, you should also replenish a small amount of water multiple times. It is very dangerous to exercise at full speed while you are thirsty. In addition, after practice, you cannot take a bath immediately. After the sweat dries completely, washing after the pores shrink will be more conducive to the discharge of toxins.

Reporter: What preparation do I need to make before practicing hot yoga?

VJ: It is necessary to wear a comfortable and loose yoga suit that absorbs sweat, because hot yoga will sweat a lot, so the choice of yoga clothes should be as short as possible. In addition to towels, water or sports drinks, it's best to have a chocolate that can replenish energy.

Reporter: How many times a week should the frequency of hot yoga be controlled?

VJ: From a scientific perspective, hot yoga should be practiced every 48 hours, that is, once every two days. Once a week or once a day is not the best choice. If you practice your joints every day without rest, it will easily cause harm to your body. However, hot yoga once a week often does not have the expected results. (Internship Editor: Yan Lili)
