Old people should pay attention to these four points when dancing square dance.

With more and more entertainment items in our life, many elderly people like to entertain and exercise after meals. At present, square dance is the most popular one. We can add more fun to life and help the elderly exercise by dancing square dance every day, but the elderly should also pay attention to the following four points.

1, you can't dance immediately after dinner.

Many elderly people like to go to the square dance immediately after dinner, which is actually wrong, because they can't eat a lot of food or have an empty stomach for the first 30 minutes of dancing. Jumping immediately after a meal can easily lead to gastroptosis or acute appendicitis. Moreover, warm-up exercises should be done before dancing to prevent joints from being damaged due to insufficient warm-up.

2. Don't dance too hard.

The bones of middle-aged and elderly people are not as tough as those of young people, so when we choose square dance, we should choose the dance that suits us according to our physical condition, and don't blindly follow the trend and do some excessive movements, which will lead to joint damage. Especially for the elderly with high blood pressure and heart disease, remember not to jump too hard.

3. Don't jump too long

The time for the elderly to dance square dance should not be too long, preferably one hour. If it is winter, about 30 minutes is better. When jumping, the volume should not be too high, so as not to affect others and hurt your hearing.

You can't go home immediately after dancing.

The old man went home immediately after the square dance. We can do some relaxing activities to relax, we can repeat stretching before dancing, and we can massage our bodies, especially our calves, from ankles to the roots of thighs. You can circle your hands around your calf, pull up your calf muscles, and press your knee socket several times to promote blood circulation.

Square dancing for the elderly is the most popular form of entertainment and health care. Old people can find a lot of fun in square dance, and can also prevent the occurrence of mental illness in the elderly, but everyone must pay attention to whether their physical condition is suitable for square dance.
