Fitness yoga to strengthen the second heart

What part of the human body is known as the "second heart"? Guess what? The answer is "legs". There is a saying that "people get old first." In life, if you often feel tired and prefer to sit and lie rather than stand and walk, it is mainly caused by the weakness of your leg muscles. Therefore, yoga that strengthens legs can not only make our bodies more beautiful, but more importantly, it can keep our bodies youthful and energetic forever.

Practice one-leg lift

1. Lie flat, straighten your legs, place your hands on both sides of your body, and breathe naturally.

2. Inhale, slowly lift your legs with the strength of your abdomen until they form a 90-degree angle with the upper body. During the lifting process, keep your legs straight.

3. Exhale and slowly lower your legs. Repeat 1-3 to do about 20.

Exercise 2 Upright Forward Bend

1. Stand with your legs slightly open and your toes facing forward.

2. Inhale, bend the upper body forward, place your hands on the same side of the foot (people with high flexibility can put their hands under the soles of their feet or hold the heels), face forward, buttocks protruding upward, and your back straight., breathe 3-5 times.

3. Inhale, soothe the upper body slightly, exhale, bend your elbows, bend your body downward again, put your face between your legs, and breathe 3-5 times.

Experience sharing: Now every time I do yoga practice, the movements for my legs account for at least 1/2 of the entire exercise. Even when I slack off, I still have to do leg lifts or forward bends. The leg lift stance strengthens the muscles of the front leg, while the upright forward flexion stance stretches the posterior thigh ligament. The combination of the two is a relatively complete leg exercise package. It's really effective to practice when your body feels inexplicably tired! (Internship Editor: Wu Jinyu)
