Benefits of hip opening for women

In the yoga fitness industry, there is only one very effective method, which is to open the hip joint. Many people don’t know where the hip joint is located in the human body. Let’s take a look at it scientifically. The hip joint is a multi-axial joint that can perform flexion, extension, abduction, rotation and rotation. So what are the benefits of opening the hip joint for women?

First, it is a safe channel connecting the left and right circulatory systems of the human body.

Hands and feet are often cold, partly due to tight hips. The small gap between the joints causes poor blood circulation. When the hip joint is properly opened, the blood circulation will be better.

Second, it helps decompose fat.

For those who often try to lose weight but fail, it is likely that the hips are "tight" and the respiratory system cannot function normally. Fat is accumulated in the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs and cannot be metabolized away, so the abdomen, buttocks, and thighs are prone to widening.

Third, improve menstrual pain.

For friends who suffer from menstrual pain, opening the hip joint will promote blood flow in the pelvis. During the menstrual period, menstruation will be discharged smoothly.

Fourth, relieve low back pain.

Tight hips can easily cause the intervertebral disc to participate in excessive exercise, which can cause pain in the lumbar spine over time. It is very easy to have problems such as lumbar disc herniation and lumbar vertebra strain. Opening the hips and hip joints can release the anxious and tired intervertebral discs.

The following two yoga poses can help open the hip joint. Regular practice will effectively improve the body's blood circulation, help decompose fat, improve menstrual pain, and even relieve back pain.

Crescent Pose

Posture Steps:

1. Start and end in a sitting position or yoga downward dog pose. Breathe in, take a big step forward with your left leg, keep the sole of your left leg close to the ground, and bend your left knee without going beyond the outside of your left leg. Straighten your right leg, tap your heel to the ground, and push your hip bone forward. Bend your upper body forward, press your abdomen against your left front leg, and support your body with your hands. Keeping your back straight, reach forward and breathe.

2. Breathe, flex and stretch the body upward, and place both hands on the hips. Press your left leg into the ground and lean your right leg forward, keeping your hips straight. Hold for 2-3 breaths.

3. Breathe in, raise your arms horizontally above your head, close to your ears, expand your shoulders and chest, straighten your arms to push your body upward, further widen your spine, stabilize your feet, and move your lower abdomen downward. The left knee joint touches the ground, expanding the upper and lower hip bones. Breathe naturally, look straight ahead, and keep the body stable.

4. Continue to breathe, use your arms to push your upper body back, keep your hips and feet still, and feel the squeeze at the back of your spine. Stay for about 5-8 breaths, push your upper body with both hands to respond slowly, adjust your breath, and then switch legs.
