1. Coordination and unity, combination of form and spirit

In the traditional Chinese sports activities, we pay great attention to the close cooperation of consciousness, breath and body movements, that is, the coordination and unity of the so-called mind, breath and movement. Mind keeping refers to the concentration of consciousness without distractions; breath regulating refers to the regulation of breath, which should be even and rhythmic; kinesthetic refers to the movement of body, which should be natural, coherent, rigid and soft. The three links are closely grasped in sports regimen, so that the whole body can exercise comprehensively and coordinately, which can enhance the coordination and unity of various functions of the human body, promote health and eliminate diseases for a long time.

2. Keep up with the times

As early as 2000 years ago, our ancestors had put forward the idea of "regular living", which warned people to adapt to the changes of Yang and arrange their daily life reasonably. Zhang Zhicong, a health preservation expert in the Qing Dynasty, compared a day to four hours. He said: "a day is divided into four hours, the spring is in the dynasty, the summer is in the daytime, the autumn is in the daytime, and the winter is in the midnight." Therefore, it is suggested that the movement in a day should follow the rule that the Yang Qi begins to grow in the morning, flourishes in the middle of the day, harvests in the evening and hides in the middle of the night. In the exercise and activity, we should pay attention to the movement changes of Yang Qi, so as to achieve the health preservation effect of "twice the result with half the effort".

3. Relaxation and moderate leisure

Exercise regimen does not mean to keep on exercising for a long time, but to have relaxation, work and leisure in order to achieve the purpose of health preservation. The intense and powerful exercise should be replaced by relaxation, breath adjustment and other rest exercises; long-term exercise must pay attention to proper rest, otherwise it will affect work efficiency, lead to mental fatigue, and even affect health and fitness.

4. Step by step

Exercise regimen is to achieve the purpose of health preservation and longevity through exercise. When exercising, we must master the amount of exercise, too small to achieve the purpose of exercise, too large to exceed the tolerance limit of the body, and will make the body damaged due to excessive fatigue. Therefore, exercise health care emphasizes step-by-step, according to their ability. So how to master the appropriate exercise intensity? At present, it is generally judged according to the pulse measurement after exercise. Its calculation formula is:

170 age = appropriate exercise heart rate

For example, if a 40-year-old's pulse is about 130 times after exercise, it indicates that the amount of exercise is appropriate. If it is obviously more than 130 times, it indicates that the amount of exercise is too much. Otherwise, the amount of exercise is insufficient.

5. Perseverance

Exercise is not a matter of one day and one night. We should always insist on it. Hua Tuo, a famous doctor, said that "running water is not rotten, and a cardinal is not a beetle." on the one hand, he pointed out that "moving is not declining", on the other hand, he stressed the importance of regular and continuous exercise. Therefore, only persevere in carrying out appropriate exercise, can we receive the effect of health and fitness.
