Tai Chi and other exercises?
To understand this problem, first clarify two sets of concepts:
1, aerobic exercise and anaerobic exercise;
2, energy-replenishing and energy-releasing exercises.
1. All exercises can be distinguished between aerobic and anaerobic
The World Health Organization defines aerobic exercise as follows: After strenuous exercise, the heart beats no more than 150 times per minute, which is aerobic exercise. On the contrary, it is anaerobic exercise. For example, slow walking, qigong, Tai Chi, swimming, etc. are all aerobic exercises; running, various ball sports, and confrontational exercises are all anaerobic exercises. So, what is the difference between slow walking, qigong, swimming, etc., which are also aerobic exercises, and Tai Chi? Here we must first understand the characteristics of Tai Chi exercise.
Everyone knows that Taijiquan requires relaxation of the whole body when practicing, combining ideas and movements, alternating fast and slow, loose and vibrating, pushing the body with the waist straight to the slightest section, and the inner air is the shape; when exerting force, it requires intent, energy and strength. The unity is released together. When the force is exerted, there is a sonorous sound, loose and vibrating, there is the tendency of a strange python to turn over and a tiger to go down the mountain, like a lion trembling its hair, and a golden pheasant trembling ashes; so that the practitioner can get comfort from the mind, The movements are stretched and generous, giving people a kind of beautiful enjoyment. Therefore, some people describe Taijiquan as an aesthetic, an elegant art, martial arts, the crystallization of Chinese culture, the essence of the essence of the national quintessence, the golden mean of Chinese traditional culture, dialectics and naturalism. .
To put it simply, walking slowly and qigong are too monotonous; while swimming, too much moisture often leads to a large amount of moisture in the body, and people who like to take dampness medicine often will not remove the moisture after all. In addition, Tai Chi is a unique martial arts fitness exercise that follows the laws of the universe, the heavens and the earth. It winds energy in a spiral, and all movements are performed in the spiral, which conforms to the law of spiral expansion of the universe. Taijiquan follows this natural law, requiring practitioners to slowly achieve the unity of nature and man, naturally, full of inner qi, flexible body, sensitive skin touch, knowledge, understanding, and energizing, and finally reaching people do not know me. I know the highest state of people alone.
2. Energy-replenishing and energy-releasing exercises. All life activities of
can also be explained by two types: energy supplement type and energy release (consumption) type: Generally speaking, Tai Chi, quiet Qigong, sleeping, meditation, etc. are all energy supplement types. Work, work, running, mountain climbing, ball games, swimming, martial arts, Sanda, boxing, dance, aerobics, aerobics, dancing, etc. can basically be said to release energy, which are all energy-releasing sports.
So what is energy-supplementary exercise? That is to say, during exercise, although you are doing work, you are using the energy in your body, and at the same time, it is continuously increasing the energy needed to replenish the body to a greater extent. Just like depositing money in a bank, the more money you save, the more bold you will be when you use it, the more natural it will be, and it will never be used up, because what is taken out is far less than what is deposited? Day by day will be healthier, more energetic, and the quality of life will be higher.
