Did the ancients fit in? How do you get fit?

Of course, the ancients were fit, and those boxing techniques, such as Shaolin boxing, Wudang boxing, praying mantis boxing, Tai Chi boxing, Baguazhang, Bajiquan...Qigong, internal strength, five poultry plays, ten sections of brocade...It was created by the ancients in the process of fitness, which is really broad and profound.

Hunting, so at that time, their life was simple and simple, so their way of fitness was even more simple and simple. Going up to the mountains to chop wood, hunting, farming, and other manual labor are all ways of exercising. It not only achieves the effect of exercise, but also does the work, killing multiple birds with one stone.

There will definitely be fitness, but for the general public, there should be none, because in ancient times, it was already good to be able to eat a full stomach, and exercise will consume a lot of physical strength.

But similar to soldiers, practicing martial arts, there will be fitness arrangements.

Horseback riding, archery, juju, pitching. Commoners are farming, hunting, fishing, swimming, and boating.

In fact, there were a lot of fitness activities in the Tang Dynasty, such as the football we are talking about now, in the Tang Dynasty, there was already a time called Keju, which everyone knows a lot, so I won't explain it in detail here. But there is a thing we don't know much about called couch badminton, cricket badminton is not very popular in our country now, but it is very popular in some areas of Japan, because after all, in the Tang Dynasty, Japan and China large-scale cultural exchanges, resulting in a lot of traditional Chinese culture has been learned by Japan, so the Japanese can now maintain the traditional culture of the Tang Dynasty in China.

Cricket badminton is almost a variant of our table tennis and shuttlecock kicking, that is, the table tennis racket we use but it is a little erect, and then the slap thing we use is the shuttlecock that we often kick now, and then two people stand opposite each other and beat the shuttlecock through the board, so as to fitness. In ancient times, this kind of exercise not only existed in ordinary life, in fact, such as the New Year's holidays, this kind of fitness method is the most, and gradually formed a traditional culture. However, in the later historical development, this traditional entertainment and cultural project gradually disappeared, and in recent years, it seems that empty pants have gradually become popular again.

Yes, just like equestrianism and archery similar to ancient times, there are also some wooden stakes in the Shaolin Temple, which can be used to strengthen the body.

I often practice some martial arts or running, and there are some related skills that can strengthen my body, but the training is very cruel.

It is done in the courtyard, or in a dedicated secret room, and in the bedroom, that you can have a very strong body.

Nowadays, people are paying more and more attention to physical fitness, so gyms are also popular. But in ancient times, there were no gyms, so how did they get fit? In fact, in ancient times, fitness was not as convenient as we are now, and many women couldn't go out, so they could only do embroidery at home, and men were better, and they worked outside was also a way of fitness, although it was forced to make a living.

Although the fitness of ancient people was not as diverse as that of us now, they also had several fitness methods.

The first is polo, but polo is a sport that can only be done by large families. Polo, as the name suggests, is riding a horse and playing a ball on grass on horseback. This sport is not only a way for ancient people to exercise, but also a way for them to communicate with each other, they can meet more wealthy people by playing polo, they can also meet friends through this sport, and even some people use this to find their other half.

There are also those who practice martial arts, they often dance with knives and guns, which is also very exercised, so the bodies of those who practice martial arts are also very good, and those who only know how to read all day long seem to be weaker than Wenwen.

And in ancient times, there was also the equivalent of our current aerobics, they are called medical exercises, which are researched by some doctors who need to enhance the physical fitness of the people, and some people find it very useful by doing this medical exercise to fitness, which can not only make the mood happy, but also increase their physical fitness. Moreover, the soldiers on the ancient army were exercising every day, because wars were still relatively common in ancient times, so they would run tomorrow, ride horses, and so on. Although the ancients had many limitations in fitness, they also began to realize that the body was the capital of the revolution, and as long as the body was well, everything began to go smoothly.

The first thing about the fitness of the ancient people must be to think of Chinese martial arts, and the process of practicing martial arts is the process of fitness, in addition, football was invented in China, so there were some sports in ancient times.

The ancients generally learned to ride and shoot when exercising, and those rich families would have martial arts venues, while ordinary children could work and exercise.

There are many fitness methods for the ancients, some people exercise by walking, there are radio gymnastics, five bird plays, and weightlifters with similar principles now, people who practice martial arts will exercise through martial arts, in addition to mountaineering, juju and so on are the methods of fitness of the ancients.

In ancient times, people also had national fitness sports similar to today's, such as Wufowl Opera Baduanjin, and there are also some martial arts schools, qigong, tai chi and other sports. In addition, there are sports such as polo and kemari.

In ancient times, labor was used as productivity, so many people needed to work, which was also a kind of exercise in disguise. In ancient times, there were many sports, such as horseback riding, archery, juju and so on.

In ancient times, many people practiced martial arts, often through martial arts to exercise their bodies, and some through long-distance running or simple gymnastics.

In ancient times, many methods of strengthening the body were generally to practice martial arts since childhood, or long-distance running, practice and other methods, and at that time there were also things similar to modern dumbbells.

We often hear about "five poultry play", "eight duanjin" and other such aerobics, which is often referred to in international medical gymnastics. In addition to aerobics, people in ancient times paid more attention to strength training and advocated strength. In ancient times, the most common training method used by soldiers and generals was to walk with weights.

How can you get fit, definitely not. I can only work in the fields. As for those who have martial arts, it should be a family history, and they are generally inherited.

In his spare time, Hua Tuo imitated the form of animals to create a unique skill to strengthen the body - five bird plays, in addition to juju, polo, archery, pitching, ice play, etc.

In today's society, with the improvement of living standards and the aggravation of environmental pollution, gym exercise has become one of the ways for many people to exercise and fitness. In the era when there were no gyms, how did the ancients get fit? Didn't the ancients have to exercise?

Of course not! In ancient times, when there were no mobile phones and no computers, our ancestors had much more time to exercise than us!

It is said that there was a curfew in Chang'an City at that time, but you were not allowed to go out at night, and it was not easy for the girl to go out of the house, you had to wrap yourself tightly, and you must be accompanied by you. You may think that the people of the Tang Dynasty were generally fat, and they should be dead houses who don't love sports very much, then you are wrong, on the contrary, the people of Chang'an are very fond of sports. First of all, the ancients liked to travel everywhere, and when they arrived at a place, they might have to chant poems against each other, and they couldn't stop the excitement when they came.

Speaking of tours, Xu Xiake (Ming) is a representative figure, he wrote "Xu Xiake's Travels" seriously, in addition, the famous "Le You Yuan" and Du Fu's "Le You Yuan Song" are the travel notes they wrote when they looked at the distance and meditated on a piece of high ground called Le You Yuan in Chang'an City.

In addition to sightseeing, the youth of aristocratic families are also more enthusiastic about a sport called polo. Eleven of the 19 emperors of the Tang Dynasty were polo enthusiasts. It is said that when the last emperor Tang Zhaozong fled for his life, he had no place to put gold and silver treasures, and he did not forget to bring a pair of golfers with him, which shows how obsessed he was with polo.

Dancing is a sport that has to be said, even if you get out of modern square dancing and travel to the Tang Dynasty to participate in aristocratic banquets, you should be able to adapt, when the dancers show their talents, after the guests are full of wine and food, the male host begins to bring the male compatriots present to get high, and the love will be shirtless in the depths. Civilians are holding hands and dancing, and if they dance happily, they may be all night.

In ancient times, gentlemen had six arts, "etiquette, music, archery, royalty, calligraphy, and mathematics", in which "shooting" refers to archery, which is one of the basic talents that ancient students must master, but unfortunately there is no such sports course in schools now. Keju, similar to today's "football", has been popular among the people as early as the Warring States period, and is a sport that has been passed down for a long time and has great influence in ancient China. Polo, called "ju" in ancient times, is a kind of riding on a horse, with a polo stick to hit the ball into the sports activities, Cao Zhi "Mingdu Chapter" has "even riding to hit the bow soil, clever and swift" verses to describe the situation of people playing polo at that time, it is understood that 11 of the 19 emperors of the Tang Dynasty were polo enthusiasts, and the last emperor Tang Zhaozong did not forget to take the cue with him when he fled for his life, which shows his obsession with polo.

When it comes to the most aristocratic outdoor sports, it is hunting, and one of the skills you must master in order to integrate into the upper class society of Chang'an is horseback riding. Secondly, you can't be afraid of the lynx (an animal bigger than a cat and smaller than a leopard), because you have to carry it on a horse and go hunting with a bunch of people. After tossing this day, there is meat to eat again!

In the era when there were no gyms, you will find that the lives of the ancients were still colorful.

Modern people can be said to pay more and more attention to fitness, so what gyms and the like are also emerging, and the fitness methods are even more varied. But on second thought, we modern people pay so much attention to fitness, but what about the ancient people? Will they get fit?

What is the way they get fit?

In fact, ancient people, like today, also paid great attention to fitness. After all, there is only one life, although in ancient times, they may not have attached so much importance to life, but they have a certain preference and love for strength training. So it's no surprise that they will get fit and exercise.

Through the records of historical books, we can understand that the ancients would use a kind of aerobics to achieve the purpose of exercise, which also has many functions. Of course, it is almost impossible to achieve strength training through this. However, they also have another way of exercising, which is stone locks, which is commonly known as modern dumbbells.

By lifting the stone lock or still holding the stone lock, you can achieve strength in the arms, waist and legs.

Of course, fitness is only a qualification for the aristocracy. When it comes to ordinary people, maybe their fitness method is simpler, that is, doing coolies, in the form of our current brick moving workers, so that they can also train to strength, but it is very difficult. However, because of helplessness, the coolies they do every day are more than the time others exercise, so they are actually very strong.

After all, this coolie can't be pushed, and it's not something I'm willing to do.

In fact, there is another kind in ancient times, which is equivalent to modern running, which is a bit similar to a marathon, but in fact, I think it is much harder than a marathon. This is the kind of messengers in ancient times, and they often had to travel long distances before they could deliver the letters. This is a time-requirement, that is, there is a requirement for the speed of the messenger, which shows how tired they are.

In ancient times, people had to work day after day, and when the harvest was bad, they had to continue working hungry and exercising every day. Maybe they look at our fitness, that is, they are full of food and have nothing to do, so they are fit.

We can look at the preferences of ancient people, ancient people liked to fight, so if they were fit, they generally took some weapons to practice martial arts, or practiced horseback riding.

The ancients generally achieved fitness effects close to modern times through martial arts or health preservation methods.

Personally, I think that in ancient times, women generally didn't exercise because they had a dynasty that didn't regard fat as beauty, and then men's words should be through martial arts.

The ancients mainly exercised by going for a morning jog or going out for a walk after dinner. There are too many modern fitness methods, and there are enough professional fitness coaching machines. In ancient times, there were not so many different ways to exercise, and some just got up in the morning for a morning jog or went out for a walk after dinner.

Because people in ancient times did not have so many instruments like modern people, they had their own fitness methods, such as horse riding, archery, martial arts, etc.

Ancient people should rarely think of fitness, most of them through the practice of martial arts, fighting, archery, horseback riding and the like to achieve the purpose of fitness, unlike modern people, more and more attention to fitness, and a variety of instruments.

Because the ancient science and technology were not developed, so there were no fitness equipment, I think the main way for ancient people to exercise was to walk and archery, archery can promote arm muscles.
