Many of us lead a sedentary lifestyle in the bustle of working days. The daily work-home-weekend-vacation schedule sometimes leaves no time for personal affairs at all. Therefore, even those who want to play sports in their free time can not always allow this. Needless to say, people who knew family happiness when there is not much time left for themselves.
However, only over the years we begin to notice that health is getting worse and that the back hurts more often. Worse than this can only be a manifestation of diseases of the spine in children, which is not uncommon in the 21st century. What is the reason?
Small statistics
It is worth paying attention to disappointing statistics - more than 50% of schoolchildren have scoliosis. Many young people after 25 years have poor posture, and some have serious back problems. Needless to say, then everything can only progress?
To prevent the occurrence of these problems, you should pay attention to Niche's exercise "Goldfish".
Let's turn to animals
A few dozen years ago, morning programs were regularly broadcast on each radio with charging not only for the body, but also for the spirit. But, unfortunately, today people began to forget about the importance of charging in the morning.
But in animals, the need to stretch the body after sleep is laid genetically. Have you seen a cat or dog with a curved spine? Most likely not. But for this they, after a sound sleep, carefully and long stretch themselves, which helps to accelerate blood circulation and saturate the body with oxygen.
Exercise history
Katsuzo Nishi is the author of a book about the five rules for health, one of which is The Golden Fish. The exercise is designed not only to prevent diseases of the spine, but also to correct posture in general. Moreover, this lesson contributes to the comprehensive improvement of the human condition and is quite capable of replacing the entire morning exercises.
"Goldfish" Katsuzo Nishi has virtually no contraindications. But it is important to remember that if you regularly feel pain while performing the technique, you must stop exercising and consult a doctor.
Now let's move on to the exercise itself.
Recommendations
The main canon of Katsuzo Nishi is a solid bed and pillow. This is where the first rule for the Golden Fish class comes up. Exercise should be performed on the floor or on a hard sofa.
It doesn’t matter what kind of clothes you will be wearing, but for better control of the performance of the technique, it is better to choose partially-fitting clothes. So you can see how right you are doing everything.
Such gymnastics must be performed 2 times a day - morning and evening.
Doing exercise. Preparatory stage
Exercise "Goldfish" for the spine is divided into two stages: preparatory and main. Let's start with the first stage.
- Lie on the floor. Stretch your arms above your head, and stretch your socks forward and gently stretch your whole body, as you often did in childhood.
- Relax. Place your feet perpendicular to the floor. Socks point to the face. Make sure your nape, shoulder blades, hips, arms and legs are pressed to the floor.
- Hands start behind the back of the head. Pull one heel forward and to the side so that the second leg follows it. Head and hands stretch in the same direction, and your pelvis goes in the opposite direction.
- Repeat the exercise, only now the legs and arms are pulled in the other direction, and the pelvis in the opposite. Your movements should resemble the bending of a body of a fish that is swimming slowly.
Repeat these steps several times.
Main stage
Let's move on to the main stage of the Golden Fish lesson.
- The exercise is performed from the starting position: hands behind the nape, the body is pressed to the floor, socks are directed to the face.
- Start to vibrate finely with your body. If before that you made “large” waves with the movement of your pelvis, arms and legs, now you need to imagine a fish that quickly swims in the deep sea. To do this, she needs to make quick and shallow body movements. So you, like a fish, vibrate with your chest, stomach, pelvis and legs.
- Each vibration must be maintained for 1-3 minutes. But since the body is not accustomed to physical activity, it is not yet capable of long classes, then you can carry out several approaches of 30-60 seconds. After a week, begin to increase the duration, gradually bringing to 2-3 minutes for one approach.
Please note that the movements should not be “up-down”, but “left-right”. For convenience, the exercise "Golden Fish" for the spine can be performed using a second person, who at first will create a vibration in the calf. Over time, when you get used to the lesson, everything will turn out on its own.
If the “Golden Fish” exercise for the spine of Katsuzo Nishi is performed by a child, then you need to hold him by the hips and move them.
You can also raise your head and feet for more convenient execution and control of the equipment.
What is unique about this exercise?
It would seem that what is so unusual in this exercise?
"Goldfish" - an exercise for the back, which not only helps to correct posture, but also due to vibrating movements from side to side, it helps release nerves and blood vessels from being pinched between the vertebrae.
When performing the technique, all the vertebrae return to their places, due to the release of blood vessels, blood circulation improves, the elimination of toxins is accelerated, muscle tissue relaxes, the body functions better and faster.
After a few days of training, you can notice an improvement in the intestines - after all, the "Golden Fish" helps to normalize its peristalsis, which generally has a positive effect on the whole body. Thus, regular classes will help you become more healthy.
It will not take a lot of time to complete this exercise - 10-15 minutes in the morning and evening are enough.
Contraindications
As mentioned above, there are practically no contraindications for this exercise. However, you should be attentive to your body when performing the Golden Fish technique. Exercise is not recommended for people suffering from severe curvature of the spine, with congenital defects of the back, etc. In such cases, you must consult a doctor before performing.
"Fish" for children
In other cases, the exercise "Golden Fish" for the spine of Katsuzo is useful not only for adults, but also for children from an early age. To train your child in regular exercise, you can turn the Golden Fish into a game that your child will gladly accept. This exercise will help the child drive away the morning sleep, and in the evening or after school will eliminate fatigue. Small children, thanks to the implementation of the technique, will be able to pacify hyperactivity, because a lot of energy and strength are needed to complete the technique!
Thus, performing only one exercise, you can not only improve your health on your own, but also introduce your whole family to classes. Even if you do not suffer from any diseases of the spine, do not take off the “Golden Fish” technique. Exercise helps prevent the development of all diseases of the spine and helps to prolong youth and health.
