Can you touch the waist and touch the toes represent long weakness? Experts teach 4 stretching movements to enhance body flexibility

When people get old, it becomes more and more difficult to touch their toes. What does losing this ability mean? Experts point out that if you can touch your waist and touch your toes, you can be able to grow and strengthen. You can only say that the flexibility of muscles and bones represents softness and physical activity. The more you live, it is beneficial to your heart's health. There are also several sports exercises that can improve waist softness.

There is a saying in the Huangdi that "the tendon is one inch longer and the pressure lasts for ten years." Bent forward and touching the foot is quite simple for most people, but as people age, many challenges the body, and the ability to touch the foot toes slowly disappears. According to Yahoo Life report, Alex Corbett, a physician, pointed out that there are several ways people can be flexible. There is a saying that "can touch the toes" is the golden rule of softness. Korbet said that in fact, it only represents the appropriate flexibility of the hamstring and waist; a person's calves and spine must also have flexibility in order to achieve that action.

Korbet said that although some evidence points out that the difference in softness is related to the increase in mortality, this is not a whole picture of health; the increase in softness represents at best the body's functional activity and is beneficial to heart health, muscle mass and overall strength.

Another senator Landon Uetz pointed out that if you want to improve softness, especially with the goal of being able to touch the toes in the future, it will be beneficial to do several movements; these actions include static and dynamic stretching, which can be done many times a week.

There are several types of dynamic stretching that can be tried, and each leg is made 8 to 15 times as the goal.

1. Pull the legs in the walking position

Keep standing and stretch your legs straight, stretch your feet and stick to the ground, stretch your arms diagonally and touch your legs until you feel the hamstrings (behind the thighs) are pulled.

2.When standing, hold the fixture, let your legs shake forward and backward, keep one leg upright, and alternately stretch and flex your hamstrings and flexor muscles. There are also several static stretchings that can be tried, and do them for 30 to 60 seconds at a time.

3. Lying on your back, stretching your fitness belt

Lying on the floor, then put a resistance fitness rubber belt or leather belt over your palms, raise your leg, and hit the knees straight to stretch.

4.Station tension

Stand stand firm, straighten your knees, then move your body weight and forward, and feel the hamstring tension.
