On the surface, it seems that men are much stronger than women, but in fact, men have one less detoxification channel than women, which is menstruation. So men are not as strong as imagined.

Meridian health care mainly achieves a health care effect by promoting the body's qi and blood and some acupoints, which is better for men. In addition to meridian health care, there are other health care methods. Below, let's make an introduction.

Abdominal tightening and leg lift

Practice method: Lie on the inclined board with your back, arms straight, hands holding the support behind your head, upper body fixed, legs straight up to do abdominal contraction and leg lift exercise. Bring your legs as close to your chest as possible, then put them down, then lift them up, repeat this process.

Requirements: The angle of the inclined board can be adjusted according to your physical condition. For example, if you have good waist and abdominal strength, the slope of the inclined board can be larger; if you have less strength, the slope can be smaller. When you pull in your abdomen and raise your legs, keep your legs straight; do not bend your knees; when you lower your legs, slow down the speed to stretch your abdominal muscles; do 10-15 times in one set, rest for 1-2 minutes after finishing, and then do the next set of exercises. You can do 2-3 sets. Do it 2-3 times a week.

Function: Improve waist and abdominal muscle strength, expand the chest, and enhance respiratory function.

Supine with both ends raised

Practice method: Lie flat on the floor or bed, stretch your legs together and naturally straighten them, and stretch your arms behind your head naturally. When sitting up, lift your legs and arms up and press them down at the same time, lean them towards the middle of your body, fold your body in half with your hips as the axis, then return to the original position, and continue to do the exercise of raising your arms. Do it 10-15 times in a row, 2-3 sets each time, and exercise 3-5 times a week. You can use it as an auxiliary exercise after getting up in the morning or after doing other exercises.

Requirements: When doing sit-ups, your limbs should be naturally straight, and your knees should not be bent. You should move at the same time, not in order. Inhale when you raise your legs, and exhale when you lower your legs. Do not hold your breath intentionally. When you first start practicing, your coordination may be poor, and your hands and feet may not rise at the same time or the angle of the fold may be too small to touch each other. This is okay, as time goes by, you can do the movements perfectly.

Function: Increase waist and abdominal strength and improve body coordination.

Weighted Kick

How to practice:

1. Stand upright with one leg supporting itself on something weaker than normal. Tie a sandbag or other heavy object to the other calf and do a forward kick. The height of the kick should form a right angle with the upper body. After kicking 5-10 times, switch to the other leg and continue.

2. The preparatory action is the same as method 1, but instead of kicking forward, kick to the side of the body. The wider the kick to the side, the better. After kicking 5-10 times, switch to the other side and switch 3 times each.

3. Slightly different from the above method: it is not kicking, but flexion and extension. The specific method is to sit on a high stool, hook your feet on dumbbells or hang other heavy objects or tie sandbags to your calves, naturally hold your upper body slightly in the chest, hold your hands on both sides of the high stool, let the non-weighted leg hang down naturally, and flex and extend the weighted leg. After 10 flexion and extensions, switch to the other leg, and switch the two legs 3-4 times.

Requirements: When doing front kicks and side kicks, the legs should be straight, the knees should not be bent, and the upper body should not move; when doing high bench flexion and extension, the upper body should not move, and the flexion and extension exercises should be performed with the knee joint as the axis.

Function: Mainly develops the strength of the calf and thigh quadriceps.

Balancing the four meridians and soaking in hot springs regularly is also a health care method that can promote the smooth flow of qi and blood in the body. But the most important health care method suitable for men is exercise.
