Five yoga movements to dredge qi and blood, slim waist and reduce belly

In traditional Chinese medicine, there is a saying that "the waist is the palace of the kidneys", therefore, exercising the waist can strengthen the kidneys and waist. Usually, exercises such as loosening the crotch, turning the waist, and pitching are used to clear the Qi and blood in the waist. Traditional Chinese medicine experts recommend five actions to clear the Qi and blood in the waist, as well as the effect of slimming the waist.
Forward flexion and backward extension
Open your legs, shoulder width apart, with your hands akimbo, and then steadily perform 5 to 10 full forward bends and 5 to 10 back stretches of the waist. Try to relax the waist muscles during exercise.
Alternating percussion
Legs open, shoulder width apart, legs slightly bent, arms naturally sagging, and fists clenched. Turn left first, then turn right. At the same time, both arms naturally swing back and forth with the left and right rotation of the waist, and use the force of the swing to alternately tap the back and lower abdomen with both hands one in front of the other. The strength can be determined according to the situation, and this can be done continuously for about 30 times.
Crotch rotation
Open your legs slightly wider than your shoulders, with your hands akimbo, and breathe evenly. With the waist as the central axis, the crotch first rotates horizontally in a clockwise direction, and then rotates in a counterclockwise direction in the same direction. The speed changes from slow to fast, and the rotation amplitude increases from small to large. Repeat this process for 10-20 times each. Pay attention to keeping the upper body basically upright, moving the waist with the rotation of the hips, and not excessively folding the body forward and backward.
Arch bridge style
Lie on your back in bed, bend your legs, and use your feet, elbows, and back head as support points (5-point support) to lift your hips vigorously, like an arch bridge. As the exercise progresses, you can place your arms in front of your chest, using only your feet and back head as support points (3 point support) for exercise, which can be done 10-20 times per session. Patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should practice this exercise with caution.
Climbing with both hands and feet
Stand upright and relax, with your legs slightly apart. Lift your arms up first and lean your body back as much as possible. Pause for a moment, then bend forward and move your hands down to touch your feet as much as possible. Then pause for a moment and return to your original position. Can be done 10-15 times in a row. Be careful not to bend your legs when bending forward, otherwise the effect will not be good. Elderly people or patients with hypertension should move more slowly when bending down.
