Stretch muscles with some slow exercise

In autumn, exercise can be gradually added and more outdoor sports are advocated. Different exercise forms can be selected according to your own physical condition and hobbies, such as sit-ups, jogging, martial arts and ball games, which can all promote blood circulation and improve the function of heart and lung as well as the blood supply of brain.

In the early autumn, the weather is still hot during the day, so do not exercise strenuously with profuse sweating to avoid damaging yang qi or injuring to sinew and bone. Pay attention to exercise protection during exercise to avoid the occurrence of heatstroke and dehydration.

After the Autumn Begins, it is cold in the morning and evening. The cold air can easily cause vasoconstriction and that can lead to some malignant cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events. The blood circulation in the elderly or some patients with chronic diseases, especially cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, is compromised due to arteriosclerosis, stenosis, and lipid deposition and plaque formation, and therefore can be blocked when the arteries contract during exercise. Therefore, exercise on early autumn mornings is not advocated for the middle-aged or some chronically ill patients. It is better to do exercises in the afternoon or at dusk. If we exercise in the morning, we can make it a bit later in order to reduce the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Exercise in late autumn should be moderate and not too intense. Astringing and nourishing internally are the principles of autumn exercise. When doing exercise, pay attention to its intensity. Slight sweating is necessary, but not profuse sweating. Because in autumn, it is dry and intense exercise will consume lots of water, and easily consumes the yin or essence of the human body. In addition, it is necessary to keep warm when exercising.
