Chapter 510 Xu Wen's Body Coordination

"Xu Wen, can you tell us about the weight loss exercises you mentioned earlier?"

"But your moves won't be too radical, right? If they are, you'd better not teach us, lest Old Zhao gets jealous."

Zhao Xuan is usually very calm, as if she doesn't care about anything or doesn't really mind anything.

But now she is actually jealous, which makes Sun Ya and the others find it very interesting.

Seeing that they were all ready, Xu Wen said, "The movements I'm going to teach you next don't actually have a large range of motion, but they may be difficult and tiring."

"If you can perform the movements in a standard way, do it in a standard way. If you can't perform the movements in a standard way, forget it. We can just take our time."

After Xu Wen finished speaking, he went to the yoga mat in the middle and stood there. Then he started to do the first movement, which was a split.

Sun Ya and her daughters were all stunned, and the netizens in the live broadcast room were also stunned.

"Fuck, I said I would learn from Xu Gou and exercise, but he did a split right away. How can I learn from him?"

"I think 80% of people can't do this first move. What I don't understand the most is why Xu Gou can do this move. Is his body so flexible?"

"I'm not surprised that the splits were his first move. After all, whether you're practicing martial arts or dancing, if you really want to exercise your body, you'll stretch your ligaments first. If you can't even stretch your ligaments, how can you talk about exercising? You can't even warm up."

"That's true. When my niece goes to learn Taekwondo, her coach requires everyone to stretch their ligaments, or they will be sent back. I can only say that kids nowadays are also very curly, which is completely different from us back then."

In the past, people who practiced martial arts called movements like splits "stretching".

The philosophical thoughts of traditional martial arts are actually deeply influenced by Taoist philosophy.

When learning martial arts, one must combine hardness and softness, yin and yang.

For example, the Golden Bell Cover and Iron Cloth Shirt are called hard skills, also known as external skills.

This kind of hard skills looks extremely masculine and strong, as if nothing can break the defense of the martial artist.

In fact, such external martial arts are the most harmful to the body. Many people who practice such hard skills do not see any signs of illness when they are young, but when they get older they will suffer from a lot of problems, and the older they get, the more tormented they become.

Therefore, a true martial arts master will not only practice hard skills, but will practice both external and internal skills.

Stretching is one of the basic internal martial arts exercises.

In fact, it is easy to understand.

This is just like you need to stretch before doing any strenuous exercise.

If you don't do some stretching exercises to warm up first, you will easily pull your muscles or tendons when you do those difficult movements.

Although Xu Wen's splits are difficult for most people, they are still possible for Zhao Xuan and the other girls.

After all, their family conditions are relatively good, so they have been learning dance together since childhood, and this basic skill has been maintained even after adulthood.

So they simply warmed up, and then followed Xu Wen in splits. Seeing that the women's movements were pretty standard, Xu Wen maintained this movement for 30 seconds, and then started the second movement.

Xu Wen’s second move is actually to maintain the splits while twisting his upper body to touch the instep of his feet in a more difficult way.

Although this action looks simple, there are still many netizens in the live broadcast room who cannot do it.

What surprised netizens the most was that the movements Xu Wen taught Sun Ya and others were similar to yoga.

Although they all look like static movements, because they have to maintain the movements, they feel their muscles tense up after a while, and their whole bodies seem to be awakened.

After they persisted a little longer, they felt that their bodies were consuming a lot of calories and they started sweating after a while.

"Xu Wen, are these the yoga moves you taught us? Why didn't we learn these moves when we were studying yoga before?"

Xu Wen said calmly: "This is not a yoga move. Have you heard of Yi Jin Jing? What I am teaching you now is a simplified version of Yi Jin Jing."

"Yoga is fundamentally different from the movements you are doing now. I have explained to you before that yoga was invented to enable learners to unlock more postures. As for physical exercise, it is just a by-product."

"But the movements I teach you are different. These movements are originally designed to exercise your body, so each movement combined with your breathing will have a role in regulating your body and unblocking the meridians. This is the biggest difference between the two."

After hearing what Xu Wen said, the girls nodded to show that they understood.

They also exercise regularly, so when they feel obvious soreness or swelling in some parts of their bodies, they know that Xu Wen's movements are effective.

Many people experience stiff shoulders and necks after working at a desk for a long time. Why is this?

In fact, the reason is very simple. It is because their bodies maintain a posture for a long time without moving, so the muscles in the shoulders and neck will perform muscle compensation for a long time in order to maintain this movement.

When this kind of muscle compensation occurs for a long time, stiffness will occur.

If it is more serious, symptoms such as muscle cramps may even occur.

Although the movements Xu Wen led them to do were not difficult, they did help them stretch their muscles.

Because these movements are not performed under normal circumstances, the muscles' ability to maintain strength is very weak and you will feel very sore after a while.

But the more times like this happen, the more we have to hold on.

Only when your body and muscles gradually become familiar with this movement, your body will know that the muscle groups here need to be strengthened, and the muscles here will become more and more developed, and you will feel more and more relaxed as a whole.

Soon Xu Wen changed several moves, each one more difficult than the last.

At first, the girls were able to perform the movements correctly in front of each other, but they soon found that they had no way of imitating these difficult movements and could only complete them as best they could.

Until this moment, the women looked at Xu Wen with different eyes.

They didn't expect that Xu Wen, who seemed to have little exercise on weekdays, actually had such good body coordination and flexibility!
