Title: The Seven Basic Footwork of Calisthenics.
In the energetic gym, a group of fitness enthusiasts are doing calisthenics following the pace of the trainer to the rhythm of the dynamic **. Calisthenics, as a form of exercise that combines dance and sports, can not only improve the coordination and flexibility of the body, but also enhance the cardiopulmonary function and shape a beautiful posture. Mastering the basic footwork of calisthenics, just like learning calligraphy, is the key to laying a good foundation. Today, let's learn about and practice the seven basic footwork of calisthenics.
The first type of footwork: stepping. This is the most basic and common footwork, just like when we normally walk. But the difference is that stepping requires light steps, knees elevated, and each step is made with the toes of the ground first, and then the heels are slowly lowered. This footwork works the calf muscles and improves the beauty of the leg line.
The second type of footwork: the jump step. As you can tell from the name, this is a footwork that needs to be done by jumping. Jump up with your feet together and bend your knees slightly when you land to cushion the impact. Jumping steps can effectively improve the cardiopulmonary function and increase the strength of the lower limbs.
The third type of footwork: lunges. Take a big step forward with your left foot and bring your right foot knee close to the ground in a lunge pattern. This movement stretches the muscles in the front and back of the thighs, making the legs more elongated.
The fourth type of footwork: cross step. Step your left foot to the left, cross your right foot in front of your left foot, switch sides and repeat the same motion. This footwork works the coordination of the waist and legs, and is also a good warm-up movement.
Fifth footwork: side kick step. When standing, hold your left foot and kick your right foot out to the right, straighten as far as you can, and then slowly retract. This movement strengthens the muscles in the lower back and outer thighs.
The sixth type of footwork: point to the ground. This footwork is like a gentle rhythm on the ground, with the left foot tapping the ground and the right foot immediately following, alternating between them. Pointing points can improve the flexibility and coordination of the feet.
The seventh footwork: turn around and step. When standing, rotate the body outward with one foot as the axis and the other foot as the axis, then return to the original position and switch to the other foot. This footwork not only exercises the body's sense of balance, but also strengthens the lower back.
Mastering these seven basic footwork is equivalent to having the key to open the door to calisthenics. Each footwork has its own unique charm and workout effect, and through different combinations and variations, countless calisthenics movements can be created. Just as a painter who has mastered color and brushstrokes can paint a kaleidoscopic work on canvas, aerobics enthusiasts can also show their style with the accompaniment of **.
Finally, calisthenics is not just a sport, it is a manifestation of an attitude towards life. In every action, there is a pursuit of health and a love for life. Therefore, whether you are a beginner or a senior enthusiast, you should start with the basic footwork, step by step, and enjoy the happiness and health brought by calisthenics.
