Our female show jumping competitor Chen Shaoman won the silver medal at the Doha Asian Games, while her twin sister Chen Shaoqiao was fourth, a brilliant performance. Of course, the tens of millions of Taiwan dollars worth of European famous horse is an indispensable partner for the victory.
Equestrian competitions are rated by the performance of the horse and the rider’s human and equine skills, so a good horse with a good pedigree, rigorous training and repeated competition wins will have an extraordinary value. Just like the bicycles used in freeride competitions and our general shopping, although they have the same mechanical principle, they have very different structural design and will have different performance.
Slim lines, slim waist twist and twist
The most obvious results of horseback riding in the waist and abdomen, hips and legs, riding because the waist and back straight, the abdominal muscles naturally contracted and stretched, the legs must be lightly pressed against the belly of the horse, the palms of the feet in front of the stirrups, the heel down naturally, so that the leg line can be straightened to trim the leg shape.
A taijiquan teacher is a great admirer of the sport of horsemanship, and he believes that there is a great commonality with the study of taijiquan. Both sports emphasize that the hands do not move automatically, but are moved by qi (Dantian, internal qi), and their roots are in the feet, by the heart of the feet (Yongquan) through the reaction of qi, which can only be driven by the rotation of qi in the Yongquan and Dantian. No hands are hands, wrists, elbows, shoulders as far as possible do not take the initiative to stretch themselves, naturally by the waist and legs with the hands, and “master in the waist, hair in the legs” of the boxing theory certainly coincides, as long as the waist often move, for the health of the body is of infinite use.
In fact, in addition to fitness and health, the success of horseback riding for weight loss is more convincing. Someone once rode a horse 40 minutes a day, 3 months later successfully lost 15 kg, and the whole body line is very even; if a month to complete 10 courses of intensive learning (at least 2 to 3 times a week on average), you can achieve results in the short term, not only quickly slim, but also to achieve the benefits of having a healthy body and good exercise habits.
Head up, chest up, leap horse into the right girl
Of course, if you usually want to get rid of body fat through horseback riding to restore the delicate body, and have a healthy and elastic waist and abdomen and buttocks and legs, is not so much trouble.
Horseback riding is a full-body aerobic exercise, through the pace of horse body undulation, elasticity is enough to drive the body movement, and help muscle tissue stretching, plus the body must be a vertical line from the head, neck, waist, ankles, waist and back straightening chest can optimize the symptoms of back pain or hunchback bad posture.
When riding a horse, you need to relax your muscles and mood, but to keep the balance and contact in the saddle at any time as the horse moves, so the lower body muscles will have continuous relaxation and contraction when finding the balance point, which can also promote blood circulation, metabolism, accelerate fat burning and make the muscles soft and elastic to achieve weight loss and body shaping effect.
