In the season of "Lidong," the temperature drops, and people need to make corresponding adjustments to their diet and exercise routines to adapt to the climate change. So, let's take a look at some health exercises for the "Lidong" season.
Walking
During the "Lidong" season, regular physical exercise can not only keep the brain in an excited state and enhance the temperature regulation function of the central nervous system but also improve the body's ability to resist the cold. However, since the metabolic rate slows down in the "Lidong" season, exercise should not be too intense. Walking is the simplest form of exercise. Walking 3-5 times a week can help relieve stress and tension and improve sleep quality at night.
Yoga
During the "Lidong" season, the weather is cold and dry, which can be irritating to the respiratory system. It is not suitable for intense outdoor activities. Among indoor exercises, yoga is a great choice. Through poses, breathing, and meditation, yoga can balance the nervous system and reduce mental stress. Long-term practice of yoga can regulate the visceral system, eliminate toxins from the body, and increase body flexibility, making it a suitable exercise for winter.
Jogging
When the weather is warm and sunny after "Lidong," you can go outdoors for jogging or other exercises, preferably around 10 am or 3-4 pm. In winter, it is not suitable for fast running because the muscles and ligaments of the body will reflexively cause vasoconstriction, increased viscosity, decreased flexibility, and reduced joint mobility in low temperatures. Moderate jogging can avoid injuries to the body.
Badminton
If you prefer more dynamic sports, indoor badminton is a good choice. The suitable temperature indoors allows for good exercise results without being affected by weather changes. However, remember to add clothing promptly after leaving the venue to prevent colds.
Bowling
Bowling can exercise over 200 muscles in the body as long as the movements are correct. In the cold winter, playing a game of bowling indoors can not only exercise the body and relieve stress but also avoid respiratory irritation caused by cold outdoor air.
Hot Springs
Although soaking in hot springs is not an active exercise, it can still help strengthen the body and burn calories. Hot springs can also relax the muscles and joints, relieve fatigue, expand blood vessels, promote blood circulation, and accelerate the body's metabolism. Additionally, the beneficial substances in hot springs have certain benefits for the body.
