General development exercises for cheerfulness

To support your body in a tonus, to be active, cheerful and contented life, general development exercises help.

For their implementation, no special devices, bulky simulators are required. These exercises can be performed almost anywhere. And the effect of them is stunning: a smart figure, a healthy spirit and boundless inner strength.

The standard complex of general development exercises consists in working on the plasticity and flexibility of the body, in strengthening the muscles of the back (for correct posture and endurance), legs and hands. And also in the work on the press. The ideal result in the latter case will be considered not even the "cubes" of the press, but a flat, tight stomach. The same applies to the muscles of the buttocks, legs and hands.

Even if physical education has never been your favorite subject in school, you are able to achieve the above goals.

So, let's consider in detail general developing exercises in physical culture:

1. Workout. It consists in active and easy gestures (for warming up before more complex exercises).

In the standing position, it is possible to make turns of the body using the hands; Head turns (both left and right, and upwards); Torso of the trunk forward; Squats; Attacks (the leg is set forward and "pumped" - the emphasis and rhythmic fluctuations of the body with an emphasis on the leg). It is also possible to include swinging hands, jumping (on the spot, on the sides, on one leg), in a word, any active movements.

Often, when calling general development exercises, they mean warm-up.

2. Basic exercises. In this part of the next lesson (by the way, you need to spend 2 times a week - this is the necessary minimum for maintaining the body in good physical shape), you can work on one group of muscles (over problem areas), and you can perform 2 exercises aimed at working out All muscle groups.

For example, for the muscles of the legs: in the supine position, do the "Scissors" exercise known to all (since it is sharply crossed legs in the air). To relieve tension from the shoulders (a very common problem of modern "workaholics" is the load on the shoulder blades and shoulders) - lifting up and down several times. Push-ups - another common exercise - is aimed at strengthening the muscles of the back, the development of pectoral muscles.

3. Stretching. Any complex of exercises should be completed with simple and smooth movements, allowing to stretch the muscles, to make the legs, arms and trunk more flexible.

Immediately after the basic restorative exercises are performed, stretch, raising your hands up. And stretch, slowly inhale the air. Having reached the high point, rise on the socks, hold your breath for a few seconds. And abruptly relax, lowering your arms, bending your torso at the waist and exhaling sharply. It is useful to perform this simple relaxing session after every "difficult" exercise.

For stretching the legs, you should repeat the attacks. For hands and trunk the following exercise is suitable. Sit in the lotus position (legs crossed and hands on your knees, palms up). Take a deep breath, lifting your arms up, stretch your whole body (not looking up from the floor) with your hands. Slowly exhale and return your hands to their original position.

Place one hand across the crossed legs. If it is the left hand, you will get a slight slope of the whole trunk on the left side. The right hand, take it to the side and do not stop lifting up. Stretch for it. Then move your hand to the left side, bending all over the body with your hand. Stretch so that all the muscles of the right side of the trunk tensed, "stretched out". Then slowly return the left hand to its original position. Repeat the same with the right hand. This exercise is an excellent option for completing another "fizminutki."

Thus, general development exercises are known simple movements, complexes, which are taught from school (at physical education classes). And not in vain: they are really useful. Help to keep the body in good physical shape. And this is especially important in mental work, low mobility due to traveling around the wheel and because of other benefits of modern life.
